Two suggestions for this trope, both from this page of Atomic Robo:

"How'd a dinosaur get guns!?" "In a perfectly legal manner is how!"

Alternative, cropping off the last panel:

"Awright, let's ring y'up."

Both of those, especially the first, I think are too big for the page with folders collapsed, and I think it's too much setup for not enough delivery. That said, I kinda like the first panel of the first by itself.

Yeah, first panel alone ought to be enough. Whatever the context may be, it's a shopkeeper whose first instinct when faced with some kind of lizard dressed like a person is to ask for ID. The rest of the panels are funny(ish), but they're wholly unnecessary to the trope as well as way too long for the vast majority of trope pages

Something about a Dromaeosaurus in disguise?

That works on its own.

Aye, that panel alone works.

I think the single panel works better on its own even disregarding the length of the original suggestions. Later panels are just him being exactly the same with nothing happening that would ruffle him.

Any disagreements on one panel, or should I just put it up?

Done.

Put in a caption, but it might not be necessary.
