Narm.Comic Books uses a smaller version of the pic on Oh, No... Not Again!

I'm not entirely sure an image is needed for the subpage. Though we can probably find candidates on Superdickery.

I don't know why the text is shrunk on the caption for Oh, No... Not Again!, but as of now, I don't have an opinion regarding what to do.

Why do these pics both use the coverart? These are not work pages.

Nothing prevent a trope picture to use a cover page, if the illustration of the trope is on said cover page.

There's plenty others who do, like Captain Crash or The Full Name Adventures.

I prefer to avoid them, as they contain clutter.

I prefer the image to be on Narm, as it only fits Oh, No... Not Again! because of the Narm.

I think both should be changed, since that pic is blurry and the cover title is rather distracting. For replace suggestion, I personally think this example is more Narm-y than the current pic. "I'll kill you to death" indeed.

For Oh, No... Not Again!, we have several links from the Webcomic section, which illustrates the point better than the current pic.

[up]I don't see either as a big improvement (and the pictures would have to be stacked, being too wide). And the OOTS example can't be reached.

The OOTS image appears if you paste the URL into your browser URL bar. It is just Celia saying "not again" though. What about a demonstration of the trope that does not involve its name?

[up][up]How is that even possible? Isn't the whole point of this trope is to use its name as a dialogue trick in response to a Running Gag or Overly Long Gag or whatever.

It's a bad example anyhow.

We can't use the entire panel this comes from because of nudity, but this seems sufficiently narmy.

There's also this.

13.2 is used someplace, isn't it?

[up] It's in the example list on Narm.Comic Books...if it's used on another page, I don't know where that is.

The dialogue in 13.1 is indeed narmy, but the overall pic looks badly cropped. How about this one?

[up] That's pretty good, but I have to admit, the overwhelming record scratch effect of 13.1 elevates it over Cyclops for me.

Here's the entire panel of 13.1, properly edited.

The combination of his dialogue and her expression really seal the deal for me, but I admit that the text is a little on the small side. Here's the original if someone with Photoshop wants to take a stab at making the speech bubbles bigger in the wiki-sized version.

My only nitpick about that is that it's so over the top that it looks like it's supposed to be funny. Seeing that panel devoid of context makes me think it's from a work that's being ridiculous on purpose rather than something that tried to be serious and failed.

Alright, the clock's up but nothing's been decided. I'll reclock this but if we don't come to some decision by the time that one's up, the pic will be pulled from one of the pages to resolve the issue.

Here's another one from the examples page. Uh, mentioning rape in dialogues isn't considered NSFW right?

#23: Nov 10th 2013 at 8:48:08 PM

[up] Nope...it's pretty good, but I'd need to see it at wiki size to make a definitive call.

EDIT: Here we go...it's a contender.

EDIT #2: [down] is a cleaner copy.

My two-cent opinion is that the Batman cover image should stay on Narm.Comic Books and be pulled from Not Again, and that page should be left blank.
