Hi
I fixed the link, you have to enter it in CamelCase.
To your last question - an entire comic strip can never be used without the creator's permission. Arrangement-wise, it's whatever works best on the page given the length of the entire page and the introduction.
To the suggestions - I'm not sure what could be used from the first one and make it work right, and the second requires the entire thing to get the context across.

No, the other one.
I think they're mainly just dialogue.

Eeeh, Keep Until Better Image Suggested. I am not sure how these images are better than page quotes and the trope there doesn't show clearly, to me.

I like this as the page image. It's one of the puns that actually works. I remember the trope because of the image, the color, and it brings to mind what the trope means.
I think pulling it would be a mistake. :(
It is what it is.
I remember the page, because it's a good description of me, but I agree with ![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
.
I am usually against using comics as the page image. The more verbose the comic segment, the more I'm against it. The page image is supposed to show the trope, not tell it. That latter function is served by all the text to the left of the image.
Unfortunately most are from comics, because Viewers Are Morons, apparently.

@2: I thought that requirement was discarded? Or only for one-panel strips?
Can you describe a picture you think gets the point of the trope across without words?
I think it's more because it's a visual medium with printed words in it. That helps avoid Just A Face And A Caption without having to have too many frames out of, say, a movie or TV show.

Many, but not most. A lot of the best images are one simple picture.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
No, the other one.
Yeah. Comics often make for decent images, but rarely great images. And if a trope is hard to illustrate, decent is often what we manage achieve.

Hi
Clock is set.
Hi
Clock's up; locking for inactivity. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
Now, the page image for Knight in Sour Armor is an awesome pun and no matter what would still be a decent choice if left there, but nevertheless I was thinking of changing it to this,
or failing that this,
◊ and didn't want to cause a problem by doing so without a discussion. If it's decided that it's fine the way it is, I won't bother.
Likewise, I wanted to know what the exact protocol for adding a comic strip as a page image since do it vertically - size, number of panels, etc...
