Just a Face and a Caption: Outlived Its Creator

I suppose the trivium is evident in the work, but the image does not illustrate it without previous knowledge. Might it be removed/replaced?

That's a very bad case of JAFAAC, ja. I would be fine with pulling it.

Ugh... pull.

How is this JAFAAC? It clearly shows a book by one author in a series created by another, so it's pretty obvious what that means. That's a clear illustration of the trope, and I haven't even heard of these authors.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

It's hard to see at first, but now I see it. I think a larger image would help.

Someone else can write a book about a character before the creator is dead. Doesn't show the trope.

Without violating copyright or trademark law?

With permission from the original rights holder, yes.

That is extremely common, especially if a publishing company (not an individual) "owns" the character.

Come on, with arguments like that you can discount literally every image on the site. Yeah, maybe this guy has a funky implant that is mundane. Possibly this is not a computer but a guy in a Halloween outfit. What if this is not a kid but he's using a youthful polymorph? Images don't have to be perfect, almost none of them are.

The term you want is "red paint", after a claim someone once made that blood in a picture could just be paint.

"Red paint" arguments are far-fetched interpretations. That is obvious and common.

Part of my issue with the Bourne one is its design. The author's name is so separate that I think the eye naturally doesn't really pay attention to it. It's much the same idea, but maybe And Another Thing◊?

Just throwing it out there.

And Another Thing is very good.

That's much better.

I also like the "part six of three" part.

Bump; anyone else for/against 14?

Looks good to me.

Me Too!.

One or two more votes for 14 and we can run with it.

Well, I hate to do this because I suggested the damn thing, but looks like 14 is in use on And Another Thing....

One of the images could be swapped out for the European cover◊, I suppose. Or this one◊ could go on this page. It would actually work better since the words are larger and the image is even less busy. But I don't know if it's different enough to subvert it being a Duplicate Image.

I don't think that would be abusing the "duplicate image" rule, and we allow works and tropes to share an image, so using a different cover should be fine.

Cool, just making sure it's not an issue.

Yeah, there's nothing in the pictures saying the creator is dead. So I'm against.
