The current pic on Harassing Phone Call is a low-quality screencap from Scream and she doesn't look particularly harassed. A cap of Drew Barrymore's character at the start would probably be a better option...maybe a grab from this GIF?

I agree that the current is low quality and there's nothing about it that particularly says "harassing" but even though the suggestion is better quality, I still don't really see anything harassing in it.

[up] GIS wasn't very impressive for the concept or the Scream examples...maybe someone else will have better luck.

Current and the suggestion are not good.

This is pretty funny but we'll need permission and it's kinda wordy. Or Drew Barrymore from Scream

Let's take down the current. Her expression adds nothing to it. I'm not sure about a replacement.

I think the first panel of 5.1 is sufficient to get the point across. The woman's expression already conveys harassment; the text just supplements it.

[up] No, he looks more shocked than anything...not a reaction I'd expect from a harrassing call. I like the first panel of 5.1 too; that reaction is exactly what I'd expect from someone who's gotten those calls.

I thought he looked more worried than surprised, but I guess this trope would be conveyed better in illustrations than live-action

[tup] for 5.1

5.1 is good for me.

Bump; any other thoughts on 5.1?

5.1 looks pretty okay to me.

What is this "sleep" you speak of?

I don't really like it, but it does illustrate the trope.

We've got just enough consensus to run with the first panel of 5.1; can someone please upload and add it? Thanks in advance.
