Opening suggestion from Thunderball. Is it too spoilerish? I tried just first and third panel but it didn't work for me.

I would prefer one with less hairy man leg, if we're being honest.

I think OP would work better if the middle panel was removed, otherwise [tup].

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

It doesn't work well without the middle panel.

The OP works well enough, so I support that if nothing better comes up. 5 is a bit confusing by only showing the aftermath.

Edit: Judging by [down], maybe we could replace that string with ACK or something similar.

I can't take that letter combination seriously after seeing it so often as a representation of a heart attack, usually from something excessively adorable or heartwarming.

Doakes' "Surprise, motherfucker!" line from Dexter seems fitting even though it wasn't from a scene with this trope IIRC.
