Opened.

It's a fine suggestions, but I wonder if we can get an actual illustration, possibly from one of the webcomics listed.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

There are some webcomic examples with links; something useful may be there, although nothing that I saw there impressed me very much compared to the lemon box.

(Sidenote: Methinks that this page will need to go to the Repair Shop at some point. It seems to be just a phrase).

Better than nothing. Didn't find anything better either.

I have no idea what an actual illustration would look like. This really does seem to be just a phrase.

Oh God, both 1 and 11 are golden. I don't know what to pick! [lol][tup]

I'm leaning 1, because 11 8 6 (how many times do I have to edit this post) looks like the entire strip and I really like the idea of having the Visual Pun without having to rely on webcomics yet again.

We can't use 11 without permission since it's a single-panel cartoon. I love the cereal box.

To specify, I like the lemon box.

What sort of hoops does one have to jump through to get permission for the lemons cartoon(6)?

If it will be a pain, we should just go with the cereal box option(1).

If it's the entire comic, which it probably is, we can't use it without the artist's permission. But you never gave source. Could you please do that?

[up] There's an autograph in the corner. The image came from http://www.speedbump.com/

Dave Coverly's personal site. Do we just email him for permission?

That would probably be the best option, though we might want to decide whether we want to use that comic before contacting him.

Sounds good. Do we want a crowner to vote?

1 > 8 6, here.

(Just don't try to read that assertion as a mathematical statement of fact, please.)

(EDIT: Holy hell, first I say it's 11 and then 8 - how many more times must I get this wrong)

[up] 8 doesn't have an image...

Did you mean 6?

Bumping this one; another vote or two for the OP and we can run with it.

[up][up] Still seems like we need a crowner. Both my (6) and OP's have a lot of support.
