Paired with a good caption, that would work well enough for me pending other suggestions.

There isn't a Simpsons comic we could grab a panel of two from? I would much prefer a panel with speech bubbles instead of a caption like that.

Looks good to me.

^^ Why? That seems fine; better maybe, speech bubbles would mean less art.

Aye, a caption is just as good, if it's needed.

We could probably trim down on the stage directions. "Phone call for Al. Al Coholic. Is there an Al Coholic here? Wait a minute..." would work just as well.

Sure.

(Note that it's an exact quote from the show. Choosing a different one, though, because it wouldn't have a reference to "bar" and this "prank name" is more common.)

"Just a sec. Hey, is there a Butz here? A Seymour Butz? Hey, everybody, I wanna Seymour Butz!
Wait a minute..."

The caption is the actual trope really, as that is the prank call.

Honestly, the pic doesn't jive with the caption; the caption's the actual trope while the pic's all about the reactions. I'd be fine with using the caption as the page quote.

The caption doesn't even say anything about a phone. Never mind that the image shows it's two people, one of whom thinks it's not funny and one that does. This "might as well be a page quote" thing has gone too far, the image adds a bunch of information.

Both of these are muchmuch worse than 1.1

Well, maybe one of his post-prank quotes?

"If I ever find ya, I'm gonna strangle you till you see blue!"

Or something along those lines.

I have a minor issue that 1.1 looks more like crying than laughing. But if others see laughing there it works.

So can we settle on this one?
