[up] Main page. Given that this has been a "no pic" trope for a long time now, I think we can make an exception to the "pics go on subpages" guideline in this case - put it on the main page and have a "no pics - see the main page for a depiction" notice on the subpages.

Hum. I don't think that is a good reason for putting medium-specific images on the main article.

I think it's a good idea to put up any image on the main page if none of the subpages have an image.

[up][up] Normally I would agree, but this (and any of the other "no pic" pages that may be subpaged) is an exceptional circumstance.

18 works for main.

What about Cacofonix from the Asterix comics?

^ Those colours are more eye-pleasing than 18, so I'll switch my vote to that.

I think 31 is well known enough to be seen as amusing rather than prurient so I'm switching my vote to it too.

[up] Easy on the "well-known"; before the wiki I was completely ignorant of Asterix. However, that's a good option...maybe "For want of a lute, the party was saved!" as the caption?

[down][down] Done.

Yes. Not sure why it would be prurient, though.

Don't think it's necessarily better than 18, but it's not worse either.

As far as aesthetics go, I personally would prefer 31. It's not really any better or worse in terms of showing the trope.

I like the suggested caption in 34.

I prefer #31 as it's more colorful and has (some) humor.

31 + 34 is up and tagged on the main page and the subpages have been tagged as "no pic"; I'll update the IP criteria info shortly. Locking up.
