This picture doesn't work without its caption. This being a title trope, a poster for the movie would be preferable, but then it runs the risk of being a duplicate of the one on the work page. I found some that are slightly different: [1] [2]

Of course we can go for another title altogether.

Agree that it's JAFAAC. Additionally, it's not even an example. Drop Dead Fred is not Adjective-noun.

I get a "Referral Denied" error from the second link, but, as Madrugada says, that title isn't an example anyway. The current image should be pulled, regardless of whether or not it's replaced.

"This picture doesn't work without its caption" is not a valid complaint, page images don't need to work without a caption. My Greatest Failure is a good counter-example.

I agree, however, that it's Just A Face And A Caption, and Not An Example anyway.

[up] I think what he was getting at is that the current image's reliance on the caption makes it weaker than his suggestions, which accomplish the same thing without a caption. (Or, at least, they would have if they had been actual examples.)

Sure, it doesn't work without the caption. More importantly, as others have pointed out, it doesn't work with the caption either. And something like on My Greatest Failure actually has something to take from the image, so it's not just the caption doing the work.

Anyway. Pull current. Not sure what would be a good replacement.

+1 to pull the current. Witch Hunter Robin, maybe?

Yeah, that was the first I was thinking about, even before I read it in the description, but I kinda didn't want to suggest it just for that reason, and I thought the text might've been a little hard to read, but it's not bad now that I look at it. And it's not the same as on its own page.

A quick Google Image Search for "Little Orphan Annie" throws up many pictures which could be suitable.

Such as the image on this page: http://pd56.org/little-orphan-annie/

[up]This picture is already used on the Little Orphan Annie work page; otherwise I think it would be a good example.

Well, Witch Hunter Robin is better than nothing. And not bad at all, really.

That's acceptable, I guess.

[up]I'd actually prefer the last one on Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro Chan. It's better for its own page than the one that's there.

And honestly, not a fan of the Gundams. Don't know exactly why, though.

Re-clocked. I've pulled the current for the cited objections...crowner?

No crowner, evidently, and the clock is up ... closing.
