I prefer to keep the image currently on Potty Emergency instead of moving it to Potty Dance, because the image there is already in the "dance" stage while the current on Potty Emergency isn't yet.

I never said move the current page image to Potty Dance. I'm just saying my image would be a more fitting image for Potty Emergency, because while both subjects of the images are in the motions, this one is less... Just A Face, with the context given by the dialogue.

Well, to me that leg-bending is indicative of a Potty Emergency on its own...

But this is even more indicative.

I prefer the current.

This one works better. And aren't sourced images better?
I'd like some arguments as to why you'd think the current image is better.

The text to the suggestion doesn't add a lot, and given that the pose is a little weaker there, the visuals are worse.
Also, about the source, that looks really like Kim Possible

I understand why you'd think that, but it doesn't really matter how "strong" the pose is; it is the principle that matters. In my opinion, the text makes it better.
Also, I don't think the current even looks like Kim Possible.

Which principle?

I think the art of the suggestion is less appealing, and images that can illustrate without having to have dialog point it out are better. Otherwise it'd be a lateral move, which is not typically enough to warrant a change.
There's why.

You know, the pose.
I still believe my image is better, but we must, we may have to go for "Keep Until Better Image Suggested".

You know, the pose.
So in other words, you agree with me that the current is better, since it was me who used that argument?

Correction: It's that she's doing to pose, not how she's doing it.

We've been relying way too much on wordy comic strips for images lately, so I think that we should try to strive for little to no text as much as possible, especially for a trope like this when you really don't need the dialogue. The character in the suggested image looks more like she's realizing that she left the oven on, not having a potty emergency. The dialogue does all the work, that's not even a decent potty emergency pose.
I found this
◊ collection of images of the trope namer. That last panel isn't even necessary, the first three work just fine.
That pose doesn't make me think of a potty emergency, honestly.

After taking a second look, I guess you're right.
Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Ditto. Honestly just looks a bit surprised.
Current looks more surprised than Potty Emergency to me. Not to mention its pretty badly artifacted. That said, I agree that we've been relying way too much on wordy comic strips lately, and that less text is very desirable. Good pics should Show, Don't Tell.

The leg cross is something that some people do when they are trying to hold their pee. Not when they are surprised.
eta: Switched the current to a less artifacted version.

1,2 and 4. Not clear what 3 is.
In which case it's the Potty Dance and not Potty Emergency.
No, the other one.
Current is the best illustration. The quality isn't the best, but it's also not that noticeable unless you look.
Check out my fanfiction!
Actually, I think 3 is the best idea. Just getting someone who looks like they need to pee? That's Potty Dance. Best way to differentiate this from that is by showing the character surrounded by running water, etc, making it worse.
I'd look for examples but googling the words "Bathroom" and "lemonade" on a work computer seems like the worst idea.

Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
Here's an image I think is a good replacement for the current page image for Potty Emergency. (The current image works more for Potty Dance, and is unsourced anyway.)
I understand that there was an IP thread earlier for this trope, but that didn't really go anywhere.
