It might be the former trope namer, but there's nothing that shows the trope itself.

Just a Guy Smiling At Another Guy Who We Can Only See the Back of the Head of and a Caption. Yank it.

The current isn't harming anything but the suggestion is much better.

Agree that the current sucks

Is six people who see a smirking face and no sign of anything remotely torturous enough reason to pull the current, at least?

Love the Girl Genius pic. Supporting swap.

The Girl Genius pic is pretty good, though the dialog doesn't quite match the topic, since there's nothing indicating that they're trying to get information.

15, with deranged cruise ship captain about to torture Godot, works for me.

I've never read Girl Genius if it wasn't obvious

Good enough. The pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Is there anyone who's familiar with Girl Genius that could add it to the webcomic section as an example? Also, caption or no?

[up] Will do.

I don't think a caption is necessary, but I don't have any ideas just now anyway. :P

Yeah, the current one is hilarious on its own. Unless anyone can come up with a particularly clever one, I don't think a caption is necessary.

I'm leaning that way myself. Another vote or two for no caption and we can lock up.

I think it graphically looks better without a caption. A caption would ruin the uneven edges of the panels. Also, there's enough text in it as it is.
