The picture is of a girl looking at another girl's boobs. I'm really not sure how that has anything to do with the trope Twin Switch.

Motion to pull. Suggested replacement, last three panels of this. Although it would be nice to find a good pic of Huey, Louie and Dewey here.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Current sucks. Suggestion is okay, but not great. Would Prince and the Pauper count?

I asked because they are never said to be related, but come on, how can they not be separated at birth?

That's a fantastic suggestion. I make 6 votes, and that's good enough for me. It's up and tagged; I'm going to pothole it to The Prince and the Pauper since there's not a page for the Disney version that I can find. Caption or no?

It looks good but it's a case of Identical Stranger, not twins. Between them they have four parents including two mothers who gave birth to each of them.

Edit: Prince and Pauper can use a better one and the Mickeys would fit nicely, but on Twin Switch it's not an example.

[up][up] Actually, there is a page for that. Disney.The Prince And The Pauper

Um, there is a bit of a problem. Prince and Pauper is actually a trope. This is why I was a little hesitant.

[up][up] Y'know, that actually crossed my mind, but I'd already made the switch. I'd have no issue with swapping the Mickeys pic for the one on Prince and Pauper.

Is there any reason why Twin Switch can't include Identical Strangers?

I mean, as written it's specifically about biological twins one a Two-Timer Date. I can't see any reason why it can't be expanded to include an Identical Stranger taking his counterpart's role on a non-date situation.

I would think just about every example of Identical Stranger would have an intentional switch or accidental confusion. There's more to do with twins because of their family background.

Note that Princess Salvia and Dawn currently illustrating Prince and Pauper aren't related either, so they can't be used for Twin Switch.

Wait, if this trope is about a Two-Timer Date, then the suggestion is Not An Example.

Honestly, I think the description being unclear is a bigger problem. The description seems to limit it to Two-Timer Date, while most of the examples seem to be anytime twins pretend to be the other one. (Which makes more sense, honestly).

It can be taken to the Trope Description Improvement Drive.

The clock on this one is up. While the current may not be a good example, it's a great illustration, and I'm willing to let it sit until someone can do the scutwork on shaping up these tropes and finding a better suggestion. Locking up.
