Suggestion: Wealthy Philanthropist

I have these picture suggestions:

• Richie Rich◊
• Uncle Pennybags◊
• Undertale fan art◊
• Undertale fan art 2◊

1.2 is the only one that works for me.

The Monopoly guy, name Uncle Pennybags is kinda already the picture for Uncle Pennybags. People might find the two tropes confusing if they use the same character.

Context for Undertale: The Underground King of Monsters, Asgore, enjoys dressing up as Santa and giving presents to all of his loyal subjects.

John D. Rockefeller◊?

I don't think that matters if the images depict the character in different situations. I mean, count the number of Superman images on various heroic tropes.

1.2 works.

I don't think showing someone dressing up as Santa is the same trope.

The point is that Wealthy Philanthropist and Uncle Pennybags are describing rather different character types and using the same character on both pages would not help making the distinction clear.

5 works best so far.

Rockefeller.

I could go with 5. 1.2 is still OK too.

Throwing my hat in for 5.

I like 5 but I'm not seeing much...

I hear Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark are wealthy philanthropists but we just need a good pic of them.

Maybe a better pic of Undertale.

Those suggestions would be a lot stronger if you actually give an actual image to support them. "Good trope examples" doesn't always translate into "good trope image".

5 is workable, though I still prefer 1.2.

None of the images convinces me.

Yeah, I'm not really feeling any of them either, although the Rockefeller one is okay.

From a comic called Circles, which is already on the trope page.

I actually edited and moved around a few panels here [1]◊, cropped the bottom [2]◊, and just the last two [3]◊, whichever works better.

Context if needed: The dog in glasses is rich and owns a mansion where he rents out rooms and helps pay the cheetah's rent until he is back on his feet.

Wealthy and philanthropic.

^ I don't get the trope from the images themselves.

Crowner?

Sounds like a plan, with "no pic for now" as an option.

And made.

And hooked.

The thing that bothers me about Rockefeller is that it looks like a Photo Op with the Dog or Politicians Kiss Babies.

^ There's no reason why those tropes couldn't overlap. Uncle Pennybags on the other hand has an entire trope named after him (and provides the page image for).

So what if he has a trope named after him? That's not what the actual image is illustrating. Since the images are completely different, the contrast between them comes out far better. It draws attention to the differences when the character is the same. It draws attention to what the trope is actually about.

Is it only me or does Wealthy Philanthropist talk about two types of characters? The first two paragraph are about characters demonstrating real Philanthropy. Third paragraph wants to include bad traits as well which doesn't work with what's been said before. The image for Uncle Pennybags fits the first two paragraphs, Rockefeller fits the third paragraph (I'd guess).

The third paragraph seems to be alluding to Photo Op with the Dog, which may or may not overlap with this trope.
