The current picture was selected in a previous 2011 thread. xkcd's is not bad, but I think a picture that doesn't rely only on dialogue would work better.

There shouldn't be a shortage of potential pictures with visible reactions instead of simply text. I'll start by suggesting this one from Splatoon.

Lateral move for me, plus the XKCD gag is more clever.

I find the suggestion harder to read. Which, for an image relying on the text, is fairly important.

OP has a lot more distracting elements aside from the pun; I think the current is better.

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

I also support the current for reasons that I think are sufficiently explained by the two posters above me.

Stick with current.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

For all the reasons already explained, stick to the current.

This is going exactly as I suspected it would. Locking up; I'll tag the page shortly.

EDIT: The suggestion has been added to the Image Links page.
