They're almost kissing. I fail to see the problem.
It's not a bad image at all.

Check out my fanfiction!I do agree that since this trope is about an interruption, it would be nice to see the interruption.
I don't know how easy it'd be to find that part, though.
It would be nice to see, yes, as opposed to reading suggestions that it would be nice to see.
Check out my fanfiction!I figured the OP would have that covered. :P
I don't see a suggestion in OP.
Check out my fanfiction!I meant, I thought the OP would return with a suggestion with a little nudge.
How about panel 3 from this strip of Sandra And Woo?
I've already extracted the panel and I'll upload it if it's chosen.

I couldn't add the second panel myself, because I don't know which episode that picture came from.
That looks like a good replacement.
Yeah, I approve of that.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI like the suggestion, but I think using either panels 2 and 3 (going in for the kiss and the impending interruption), or 3 and 4 (the impending interruption and the actual interruption) would be even better.
The current doesn't have any indication that they're going to be interrupted except in the caption — any picture of a couple about to kiss would work the same way, even if they aren't interrupted at all in the original.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.I thought about suggesting either panel 2 or 4 be added, but I think there's enough context in the single panel to get everything across that is needed.
I too believe that there's more than enough context with panel 3 alone. Also, the current caption still works with the S&W panel.
Absent-minded professor and Neverwinter Nights DMAnything more than just panel 3 is overkill. Panel 4 only adds the explicit interruption, but that's the only addition for other panels put together.
Check out my fanfiction!I think the single panel shows enough.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSingle panel is a great illustration.
One or two more votes for the single panel version and we can run with it.
"And we can kiss this thread goodbye," you mean.
Check out my fanfiction!Voting for the single panel. Are we done?
Anyone mind tacking on another picture, of what exactly interrupts them?
