I think it's kind of confusing. I'm undecided.
Check out my fanfiction!I see where you're going, but I think it's too abstract in relation to the main gist of the trope.
Too abstract for me.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIt works. He looks sufficiently dead.
Check out my fanfiction!Isn't that exactly what got pulled earlier for being a spoiler?
Yes.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanIt was? I never actually saw it.
Check out my fanfiction!Yeah, I found it through the page history.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanHm... yeah, I see what you guys are saying. How about if we used panel 1 and 3, arranging them vertically so they wouldn't be too wide? Something like this:
...still kinda abstract. I won't be offended if folks don't like it. ;-)

It's kinda funny, and works better than anything I've seen so far.
I am reassured! Possible issue, though—it's two of the strip's three panels (basically a condensed version of the strip). Is that too much—does it overstep "fair use"?
Yes, I'm now reading through the "Image Pickin'" FA Qs, so I'm more aware of these issues now...
With 2/3, I would definitively try and ask for permission.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWe've done it before, several times.
Clock is set.
Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
The previous image for Revive Kills Zombie was just pulled (it was apparently too spoilery), and the page says that if we want to add a new image, we need to create a thread first.
I'd like to suggest that we use the first panel of this Penny Arcade strip.
The downside is, it doesn't quite match. (It doesn't show someone hurting a zombie by healing it.)
But it does portray the general issue covered by this trope—people actually want to revive a zombie, but aren't sure whether a regular resurrection spell would work or not, since he was already kind of dead to start with.
(The third panel addresses this more directly, but without the context of the first two panels, I don't think it works.)
Thoughts? Other suggestions?
