Id like to suggest this tapestry from The Life And Times Of Scrooge Mc Duck as an alternative to the current, mostly because it needs only one image and no text to illustrate the trope.

Not too bad.

Took me a minute to get it. I assume the implication is that Donald's army deserted him?

Yeah, and it's not Donald by the way. Someone from the McDuck clan, don't remember which one.

Better image here but it might be harder to fit.

If we can make 5 fit, I say that. Otherwise, keep the current. 1 just... takes too long for me to see it.

How's this? I kept the original borders but they can probably be squared off.

5 is great. [tup]

The Order of the Stick (7) doesn't quite work for me as it relies too much on the text.

However, the current is not at all bad. I personally don't mind that it combines two pics, and the text is easy to read and it's quite brief.

I love the image in #5. #7 relies on too much text.

n°5 is not bad, but as eedwardgrey 3 said, not sure it it'll be visible enough at 350 px.

I definitely don't approve of n°7 because the text font is too small and a chore to read, and as X Fllo said, it relies too much on the text.

And IMO, the current pic is very good, good balance between visual representation, and short text. So overall, this would be a lateral move at best. Also, whichever pic wins, I definitely support putting the other in Image Links.

I don't think #7 relies on text at all. If you remove the bubbles it would still make just as much sense as any other suggestion.

I don't think any of them is an improvement over the current, though.

[up] Taking your argument in consideration and looking carefully at the pic again, I have to admit you're right. However, I still leave a strike against that pic, because the (bad IMO) art style makes the pic too crowded and it took me several seconds to realize what was happening. Both current and n°5 are clearer than it.

[up]I think the main problem with that one is that the relevant person for the trope is the one not appearing in it.

I am not sure what is going on in @7, and even if the text weren't necessary it distracts from the image. Voting nay on that.

I also think 7 is confusing. The Donald-like-Duck one isn't too bad but I wouldn't say that it's necessarily better than the current.

Sir Eider McDuck is apparently the name of the character in the current.

5 cropped to wiki size in 14 looks better than I expected. Still, lateral move at best IMO, and great image to add to Image Links.

What about the scene in Transformers of the soldiers running away from Scorponok?
