The trope describes someone being distracted by food nearby. The current image is of Homer thinking of a heart-shaped donut. Personally, that's a poor choice of an image, as he's merely thinking of food, and it's nowhere near him.

Can anyone think of any better alternatives?

Agreed; doesn't obviously fit the trope. No suggestions right now.

[up]Might need some sizing down, but it could work.

How about a guard dog being distracted by a delicious steak?

[up]The concept is good, but there's no indication that it's a guard dog.

Another suggestion from Jitsu wa Watashi wa. The top two panels here is more concise than my previous suggestion, although I think it shows the 'distraction' less.

Also, are we still against right-to-left panels?

It would be easy to rearrange the panels so they read left-to-right, but... I don't get it.

I think it's pretty simple? The long-haired girl is baiting the demon girl with a lollipop, to which she immediately fell for.

I get "Here's a lollipop!" from that image. No distraction or anything remotely close to that.

My proposal. Probably needs rearrangement/edition.

Can't get a decent reading of the trope from that.

Clock is set. I'm voting to pull the current for not actually being the trope.

Clock's up; not enough consensus to pull the current. Locking up.
