Moon◊The FMA is my favorite so far.
That pipsqueak in the OP has my vote.

"Not this page again."
Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.Let's just leave it as is. Locking up.
Okay, it's not outright bad, but it looks like the "stalk" of the "mushroom" is actually exposed skin on her neck. If that's the case, then that means that it's just a white oval.
Here◊ is one from Fullmetal Alchemist that seems like it might work a bit better.
Evil is my favorite color.
