The image on Captive Date shows a date, but not the captive part. It strikes me as more of an example of Abhorrent Admirer.

Suggested replacement (second page, panel 1+2).

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

It's hard to tell, but the girl is in a padlocked straitjacket. I'm giving the current a very weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested pending having a chance to look at the suggestion.

She looks terrified. He looks like a dick. Suggestion isn't an improvement. Keep.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested, given the expressions, although the jacket could be improved upon.

Can we find a slightly larger version of the current one, so that the straitjacket shows more?

The current's good but subtle. The panel that says observe my date and what the heck is more obvious.

[up] More obvious, yes, but only because it uses words. The current works without dialog, while the suggestion relies on it.

The current doesn't work without words; we'd need to point out in the caption that the white sweater is actually intended to be a straitfjacket.

The suggestion doesn't work without words either.

I guess words are need for either one. Unless we find something better we can just give this a caption and call it good.

[up] Good image, but low quality. If a higher quality version exists, I'd be in favor of a closer crop of that.

Would like a bit more focus on the cuffs and chain, but it certainly works.

Yeah, that would be my only complaint with it. The restraints are a little subtle, considering the two people in front of them take away some of the attention.

I could have cropped it closer, but to me the "date" aspect is as important as the "captive" part, so I left stuff around them to clearly indicate that they're in a movie theater.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
