Is the pic on Power Fantasy an entire Calvin and Hobbes strip? If so, I think we could get away with just the last two panels.

Well, while I do say that the bottom two pictures would do nicely, we need to know if said girl's normally a bully to Calvin first before that picture demonstrates the trope properly.

Otherwise, it looks like an Imagine Spot with Calvin pretending that she's an alien and decides to bully her like what a bully would've done.

The early art style is a bit weird, but I'm pretty sure that's just Susie, Calvin's sort-of Love Interest and definitely not a bully. (She does clean his clock every now and then, but it's always in retaliation; if anything, Calvin is the one who goes out of his way to harass her.)

Looking at this one again, I'm voting to pull the entire pic for not demonstrating the trope at all.

Clock is set; still voting to pull per [up] and the copyright concerns in the OP.

It's somewhat illustrative of the trope, but it could be illustrating other things as well, plus copyright concerns - so...pull.

Not only could we "get away with" just the last two panels, I think that's way better. Only the very last panel reveals that the spaceman scenario is a child's daydream, and people who don't know C&H (yes they exist) are unlikely to read that far.

The clock's up. I've done some research and am pretty sure that this is an entire strip, so I've pulled it. Locking up.
