The first panel is good enough for me. Not even sure if the second one helps illustrate the trope better
I assume that the crossed fingers carry the "I am horny" part of the trope?

More like
the "Sex Is Evil" part

Septimus: I believe they are trying to make a Christian cross to ward off the devil. (Though it looks remarkably like the Finger of Shame, a humorous playground gesture.)
I don't really get the second part of the trope from that either. I think the second panel adds nothing, but the first adds very little.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Then it looks more like an illustration of Sex Is Evil.

The "I am horny" part lies mostly in the fact that he's averting his eyes.
To be honest, I would expect aversion from someone who isn't horny.

Hi
It's the implication that his flames are being fanned along with everyone else's. It's weak, but I'll give the one-panel version a ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
pending something better.
A weak support for the same reasons as ![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
.
I disagree with those who say the second panel adds nothing. I believe it lampshades the "and I am horny" part of the trope quite well since that's what the girl is accusing him of. IOW, it adds some clarity.

Hi
Hmmm...I see what you're getting at, but I dunno about anyone else.
No, the other one.
I don't really care for it, but it wouldn't be misleading. And of the two ideas, I prefer the single-panel.

Check out my fanfiction!
I don't get how "If thine eye offend thee, Pluck that mutha out" indicates the horny part...
It's from the Bible see here for a clarification.
edit: Whether that adds something is another thing.

She's basically saying, "it's your fault that you find me sexy", and is correct, it's a paraphrase from The Bible. (The original Bible quote was almost certainly intended to be taken figuratively; it advises that you should strive to avoid things and situations which you know will lead you to sin)
All in all, while the second panel does add something I do think it's preferable to have just a single panel for a page pic. Any other thoughts?
Neither IMO.
The second panel (alone) is where the trope is, and it's really hard to figure that out. Not illustrative.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
I also say neither panel. I don't see the being horny in it.

It implies it by the angel bringing up the topic of lust and is being repulsed by it.

That's an angel?
Seriously folks, only people who actually get the context of the series (and the bible by extension) are going to get the references. Neither suggestions work.
Hi
Seymour's not an angel, he's (at this point in the comic) a stereotypical over-the-top fundamentalist Christian.
Hi
Clock is set. I'm starting to lean toward the 2-panel version.
Hi
I'm seeing pretty evenly split consensus for several things, so let's crowner this up and make it official...should've done this a while back.

Not sure if it's better with the next panel included
