This suggestion flopped in the suggestion crowner. Any other ideas?

Nice. [tup] Since we can't use the whole strip and I assume we're sticking with just the last panel, the caption should provide some context about how he's a Physical God who's whining like a little kid.

"Coyote: Trickster God, Lord of the Forest, inveterate whiner."

I could go with the image suggestion.

This trope is typically played for drama, which we don't get from 2.

Plus, Tropes Are Flexible. Having a comedic example pictured for a more dramatic trope isn't necessarily bad on its own.

As the one who chose the flopped image...(sobs)

Jk, but I do like [up] this pic, if it doesn't look too much like whining instead of begging.

If this for begging or pleading for your life, then maybe this?

[up]I don't see what that's supposed to illustrate.

[up][up]What's with all the panels? Seems mostly redundant or irrelevant.

Yeah, the panel where Coyote is rolling on the ground is sufficient.

The Zootopia pic is way too vague on the begging. The single-panel Coyote pic works best, but the extra panel of him jumping at Ysengrin adds to the humor of it...if there's a trope page for what he's doing there that doesn't have a pic, it'd be a great pic for it.

As much as I love Zootopia, that before/after image pairing doesn't do it for me. You'd need a much better "after" image, because as it is, Nick looks more mildly concerned about his pending icing than actively begging for his life.

Yeah, it's hard to find screencaps of the movie in high quality so, the coyote sounds good to me.

I just whipped that one up in a few minutes, I'm gonna try again and look for better images then.

Edit: This looks better.

Agreed, the begging just isn't there from a visual standpoint in those pics.

I love Zootopia, but the image is vague and doesn't really illustrate the trope that well. Taken out of context, the bottom panel could mean anything.

Yeah, you're not gonna be able to do Zootopia until the film's out on Blu-Ray for better screengrabs to exist. And that's not liable to happen until June, at the earliest, so... *shrug*
