The current pic on Pie in the Face looks like it's an entire strip from Hägar the Horrible. I think the first two panels would be sufficient for this one...but the quality's pretty shoddy so I'd be fine with another pic altogether. Thoughts?

Pie in the face is such an obscure gag I'm sure it'd be practically impossible to find another image!

I know it's not the whole strip. I recall suggesting it — it's only about half the strip. Hagar Sunday strips (And the fact that it's color means it's from a Sunday) tend to run 8 to 10 panels.

Aha. Here's a link to the whole strip: linky-link The quality is because I had to move panels and resize them.

Personally, I think the second panel of the current would actually suffice, and I don't see any reason why we need 3 in the first place.

If we want a change in image, though, we can use this.

Pinkie Pie works well. This one's super easy to illustrate, though, so there's no single right answer.

I just googled 'pie in the face' and that one struck mad as the best one.

It's bigger than it appears so it can be cropped to enlarge it too.

The current is fine if cut down to two panels.

Pinkie Pie's not bad. The one thing I was really hoping to find was when Cerebus takes a pie in the face from his creator, but GIS failed me.

There's also a lot of instances of baseball players hitting teammates in the face with pies as a prank, so that would be a good option, too.

I don't much like the Pinkie Pie one, because the trope is very rarely played with someone pieing themselves.

[tup] Although it's probably my monitor, I don't see a quality difference between that and the current. But then, I also don't see any quality issues with the current, either which is why I'm pretty sure it's my monitor resolution.

I saw a video with a great action shot photo of a man getting one of these in the play it was advertising, but I can't remember what/how I found it. So, I like the hi res Splat pic.

Cutting down panels is a good thing, and it doesn't need more than one.

11 — [tup]. One panel is good enough to illustrate it.

11 works well enough.
