The current pic on Dramatic Gun Cock is all gun and no cocking. As a replacement, this seems a lot more effective.

I don't like it because it perpetuates "begging the question" misuse.

@Willbyr: I think just the second panel alone will suffice; as it would allow for a larger - and hence, clearer - picture. The first panel adds nothing.

[up][up] *blink*

[up] I thought about that but his question seemed like it was hanging in midair without the preceding part. I suppose it could work on its own, though.

I think the single panel works on its own just find. The question sort of comes off like a Pre Ass Kicking One Liner.

#5 is definitely an improvement over the current.

It's a guncock and it's meant to sound serious.

"Begs the question" is not a synonym for "raises the question", it is a kind of logical fallacy. That misuse is so common, it threatens to become the new meaning.

[tup] to 5 but "WHAT" and "EXACTLY" should be rotated.

English doesn't exactly have an exact word order. And if that's what it was in the original, it works. Even if I don't see the difference anyway.

That's how it was written in the source pic, so I have to assume that's how it appeared in the comic.

Good enough; it's up and tagged. Caption or no?

It works without. Unless someone comes up with something clever.

No caption.

And I meant it might read better aloud since he was continuing his monologue from panel that is no longer present.

But whatevs.. [tup]

Agreed; no caption barring a particularely clever suggestion.

It works fine without one. Locking up.
