Why is it a poor image? Because it's copywritten, and listed by the artist on a commercial licensing site. If you go to the artist's own website, Stik.biz, you'll find that he runs all his cartoons through Cartoonstock. And on that site, there's a huge-ass watermark right across the center of the image, and the words "Rights Available from Cartoonstock.com". The fact that someone painted out the watermark and cropped it doesn't mean that it's fair game.

It should be pulled immediately, and a replacement found. Which shouldn't be too difficult, it's not like it's an uncommon trope, or a concept that's difficult to find.

I'm going to tweak the OP in the policy thread for this exact circumstance.

Some suggestions:
Chris Griffin on a treadmill (Preferably a direct screenshot version)
Little Brotherfrom Mulan (A screenshot of that would also be good.)
Zoidberg with a fish

[up] My favorite of those is the Chris Griffin one, since Peter standing behind him dressed as a referee really sells the "Motivation" part. The pic is a bit artifacted though, so it would need a cleanup before launching.

I'm good with everything so far except the Mulan pics; they're good for Image Links.

@3: Perhaps you should also tweak the linked to copyright issues Administrivia page? The watermark section just says "we can't use an image with a watermark." I could easily see someone think, "oh, okay, then, just get rid of the watermark and we can use it!" As someone (in this case, a user named Maniago) obviously did here.

I've hooked a crowner. I didn't add the Family Guy GIF; I got a still from it, but it was artifacted like crazy. If anyone feels like trying to fix it, I'll upload it.

I accidentally locked the crowner...sorry. sad That said, we've got a clear winner, so it's up, potholed, and tagged, and the non-full comic links have been put on the Image Links page along with the page where the original pic was taken from. Caption or no?

Since there haven't been any suggestions in a coupla days, I'll assume we're done. Locking up.
