Does Not Illustrate: Dirty Old Man

Go To

The current image just shows a gruff looking old man wearing a T-shirt that says "SEX" on it. It might be better if we chose an image of an old man, who's actually being dirty (within reason, of course).

I recommend this one, from Variable Geo to replace it. We can see he's an old guy and he's clearly shown perving on a busty young girl, who's just as clearly shown being put-off by it.

Eh, he doesn't really look like an old guy to me. He looks maybe in his 30's which I suppose is old for Anime, but not really this trope. He has no grey in his hair, no lines on his face. He's just sort of anime ageless and makes a poor illustration for someone who doesn't know the work.

Memers' second picture really seems to work for me.

I do like Memers second one.

It's too bad that Arte Johnson's character from Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In doesn't have any good pics that I can find through GIS.

Well, no 'cuz he's grinning in that pic, but in other shots, you can see he's at least 50-ish. Besides, old folks don't always show grey.

That said, Memers 2nd pic seems to be the best one, so far.

[up] I'd caption no.3 with:

  • Bulma: "My face is up here."
  • Roshi: "But mine is DOWN HERE! HEH, HEEH!!"

[up]Yeah, that works better.

I'm split between 11 and 12.3

I like 12.2 but why is he bleeding from the nose?

I like 12.3

I still like Memers second suggestion, but I think rafi's is the best one yet.

I think 17 is a little too crowded. 11 or 12.3 work best in my opinion.

12.3 + 13 as caption work for me.

17 is a bit too busy. Memers' suggestion is good.

[up] What if we crop 17 so Roshi's centered between the two women in the middle? That could work, considering he's copping a feel while flashing a lecherous grin.

Aside from that, Memer's and 12.3 (in that order) are pretty straightforward too. Either one works, for me.

So what's the verdict? Are we going with Memer's suggestion, Sandbylur's, or are we still waiting on more? I'll try and find a few in the meantime.
