If we can get something that gets it across in one panel, I think that would work better, but if we can't then that's fine.

Eh. I don't like the trope just being discussed, might as well be a quote.

We need a picture of the Spy from Team Fortress 2. He literally wears a paper mask.

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

I don't like the OP for adding nothing visually. As an alternative, here's Tim Curry disguised as a girl scout in Loaded Weapon 1. Could be used for either main or the film page, which is also unpictured.

Pages like this don't usually have an image in the main page so yeah, [tup] for Film.

It's not until now that I noticed the logo on his cap was changed for some reason. The suggestion does have enough votes, so would anyone mind this or this alternate from the same work?

Which one? Should we use 7 even with the inexplicable Mario gimmick shopped in?

Sounds like we have enough of a consensus. Can someone upload it?

It doesn't really look that much like a disguise though.....just a weird photo op of Tim Curry wearing some kind of green leiderhosen for some unknown reason.

I think to make this work, we need to have a comparison shot. When I think of something like this from Invader Zim Alien and "Human"

I think he is obviously dressed as a Girl Scout (kind of), which couldn't possibly be the character's "real" clothes, given that he is clearly not a child nor is he female. He even has clearly-fake braided blonde pig-tails to go with his clearly-real beard stubble! The weird green lederhosen photo-op scenario seems like a Red Paint interpretation. IMO, for that sort of argument to fly, it has to allege that the wrong message is probable (not merely possible).

I also strongly object to a comparison shot sort of image. If it needs a "regular outfit" comparison, it's not a Paper-Thin Disguise.

Don't think it needs one.
