In the IP thread for Four-Element Ensemble, it was suggested that the xkcd comic that is the current page quote on Elemental Powers would be a better image for that page than its current from W.I.T.C.H., as those characters are now the page pic on both tropes. I was solidly in favor of this for a while, but while the suggestion is definitely funnier, I'm starting to think that it might go a little too deep into Playing with a Trope. Thoughts?

The comic in question.

I think it's fine. The Alt Text would work as a caption if we used the comic.

I don't have an issue with it.

Doesn't really illustrate, too much text. Makes a better page quote than a picture.

I'd like to see something like this maybe?

I also suggested this in the previous thread, just to give more options.

Wan from Legend of Korra? Not sure how it'll look with smaller dimensions though.

Out of those two, I think I like 20 more. 18 is alright.
