The current one is bad. It's basically just text, it's confusing (It took me a while to figure out if I really had to read that left to right), the visuals don't only not add anything, they make it more confusing (what the hell is going on in that second panel?), and the caption doesn't even help. I think it should be axed.

Current:

Agreed; we need something that does more with less.

Pull, with or without replacement.

Confusing, wordy, and text-reliant. Torch it.

I don't see how the images contribute to the illustration. It's entirely text-based, and the text included doesn't even explain the trope clearly. Definitely pull.

Clock is set. Since there hasn't been any discussion since the pull, I'm voting to go ahead and wrap this one up.

Yeah, this one is BUPKIS material. Keep it blank.

Yep, keep the page empty.

The clock's up; I've adjusted the tag to note this decision. Locking up.
