Hi
Seconding the pull, that's not even remotely what the trope's about.
That looks like another trope entirely. Thirding the pull.

Pulling the fourth (or is that fourthing the pull?) :
Is this any good?
No, the other one.

I don't think the upper panel adds to it. And it's a shame the text is rather weak.
In uffish thought
Weak as in the words don't add to it very well, or weak as in hard to see? The latter can be fixed quite easily.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
No, the other one.
I'm not entirely sure what they actually say, so it would be the latter, and maybe the former. Though I'm currently on a crappy monitor, so we'll see when I get to my real one.
I can about see the word "nuisance", though, which I think may be good.

That picture works for me.

Hi
It's weak, but better than nothing.
The characters (Asterix and Obelix) are talking about an earlier discussion with another character while casually batting their attackers away. Their minds are not really on what they're doing.
I can cut it back to just the bottom panel if that would be preferred. I may also be able to touch up the writing, as I admit it's a bit light.

Here's another cut & paste. I tried to touch up the text a bit in these panels.
If we can get a general agreement that this is a direction worth taking, I'll go to the effort to touch up the bottom panel of the previous pic.

Hi
I like @12, if only because I was, once upon a time, an Comic Book/Asterix fan.

12 is very fun. As Astérix always is. It's also legible. I vote for it.

I'm unabashedly biased towards anything Asterix.

Is that an official translation? The text looks kind of amateurish.
Otherwise, I'm good with it.

I've put it up and tagged it. Might use some downsizing, tho'.
Caption ideas?

A smaller version (250px instead of 300px)
Caption: They do this a lot

No, the other one.
I thought it was a little on the large side before, and it's still rather large. I don't think a caption would be needed for it, though.

I don't think it can be reduced any further without making the text unreadable, requiring heavy touch-ups which would be too noticeable. I made it as small as I dared while keeping readability in mind.
No, the other one.
Yeah, the only option would be to just rewrite the text. It's kind of bad as it is anyway. But it still works at this size.

The image was from back when this trope was called "Kicking Ass and Taking Names" - indeed, it demonstrates that name (asskicking, as in a Rube Goldberg machine with shoes attached that literally kicks an ass) but it never demonstrated the trope. I'm afraid I have no idea how to actually picture this, but I move to pull the current as it's completely unrelated to the trope at hand.
