Opening suggestion: Single panel from the Blacksad album 'The Hell, The Silence'.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

That suggestion is fine for me.

Yup. It actually looks clearer when shrunken down a little.

My only objection is that it's hard to tell that Blacksad ducked...the other guy might have just swung badly. However, that's a nitpick and I'm not gonna grouse if it gets consensus.

Wasn't hard for me to tell. No familiarity at all with the characters, but the way his jacket and tie are floating, it's clear he ducked (never mind the body language, which is probably more obvious).

Going by the trope name alone, I wasn't sure what the article would be about, but a glance at the suggested image explained it. Hole in one.

I agree, the trope name is unclear and that image helps.

I'm for it, provided we're not overlooking a more specific subtrope where it would fit better.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I don't feel the intention of ducking.

Works very well for me. [tup]

To me it seems obvious he's dodging, I vote for that image.

Alright, that's enough for consensus, so it's up and tagged. Caption or no?

Hearing no caption discussion, let's lock up.
