I'll go and correct it.

Anyways, opening and will see about the suggestions.

Edit: Having looked at them... I'm not really feeling those suggestions; they're a bit too bloody. [tdown]

Yeah, too much blood. It's just not necessary for illustrating the trope.

Guys, I'm starting to see rampant misuse for this trope... the examples are gonna need a thorough clean-up sooner or later.

The trope is about the comedic routine of jumping up-and-down while holding a hurt foot. It's not about any kind of injury to the feet, especially not gruesome examples. Let's not start to make things worse with a confusing illustration.

Home Alone's a good start, but the suggestion is a bit too dark?

[up] Without the first to panels to provide context, I think the last panel by itself would work better than the last two.

Last panel works.[tup]

I'd support using the last panel of the C&H strip as the new page pic for the main page since Comic Strips are in a folder there and moving the current pic to the Western Animation subpage.

The Calvin one cropped.

I suppose we are now looking for a replacement on main which is needed because current pic is misleading. The trope description is rambling too much in second paragraph. It should make it clear early on that the hopping on one foot (3 paragraph) is an essential indigence.

[up] What about the watermark? I could remove it.

Is that a watermark? I thought it was a signature.

Yeah, it's a signature; comic strip artists tend to sigh towards the edge of a panel. Should be fine.

Calvin for main, move Fred to Western Animation.

The examples list mentions a Charlie Chaplin example from The Great Dictator. Anyone can find a screencap of that? I'm not having much luck so far.

Still voting to use the Calvin pic for the main page and move the current to the Western Animation subpage.

[up]Same. I'll look for an example in the meantime.
