Absurd Phobia seems to be all of a Far Side cartoon. It probably needs to be replaced for copyright reasons.

I don't have a great replacement, although I do have this cover.

Good catch; it's pulled. That's a decent starter.

Maybe a crop of the fourth panel of this?

I'm not too fond of the OP suggestion. It's simply a picture of a duck plus some text.

The only indication that the duck is staring is the text that says that it is.

OP suggestion is OK for me if prepped up with a caption.

Looking through the examples, there's a good Peanuts example, with Lucy being afraid of a piece of fuzz. Panel 7 could work by itself, or panels 5+7.

Panel 7 works.

Yeah, panel 7 is enough on its own.

It works fine without one. I'll lock this; if someone comes up with something, it can be discussed in the repair thread.
