Honestly, I do not see much in way of the trope in either page.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSonic doing his finger wag would be an improvement for Mascot with Attitude.
There was recently an image picking thread about the Mascot with Attitude image and we came to a consensus that the current image is perfect. I agree. Sonic clearly displays attitude in his pose. If we do decide to change that image, let's try to use Sonic's old design though, because that conveys the 90s attitude that this trope is all about.
As for Funny Animal Anatomy, there are a ton of possibilities. Perhaps we can use an image that compares a cartoon animal with its Real Life counterpart:
Tasmanian devil◊ vs. Taz◊
Hedgehog◊ vs. Sonic◊ (that Sonic image could work for the Mascot with Attitude page also)
Skunk◊ vs. Fifi LeFume◊
I could add more, but I'd be here all day.

Ninja'd. The real vs. Looney Tunes Taz might be the best in terms of the differences between the two.

I say keep the current Sonic with a real hedgehog photo as comparison or go with Taz.

The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableLooks good to me.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanPost #8 is excellent. I intentionally linked to the confused!Taz image, because I figured that there would be plenty of fodder for captions.

to #8 and to the caption in #9.
I must be cruel, but to be kind That bad may begin, and worse be left behindGood enough; it's up, potholed to Looney Tunes, and re-tagged. I was thinking a variation on #9 in Taz's...unique vocabulary, but I'm drawing a blank right now.
(I don't speak Tazmanian - I don't know what his vocabulary consists of. :P )
The Revolution Will Not Be TropeableThe only thing I can think of is "That TAZ?!" or some variant of that. Does he even refer to himself in the third person? I'm a bit hazy on that.
There's one short where Bugs buries him somehow, and when he digs himself up, he asks Bugs "Why you bury me in the cold, cold ground?" before turning to snarling and slavering. Yours or something similar works for me.

Eh, let's run without for now; if anyone comes up with something, go ahead and add it. Locking up.
The same generic picture of Sonic the Hedgehog is used on both Mascot with Attitude and Funny Animal Anatomy. Good enough for the first, but we can probably find a better one to illustrate Funny Animal Anatomy.
