Elan's not really doing anything chaotic, just bizarre, plus there's no indication that he's of the Chaotic alignment unless you already know The Order of the Stick.

Besides, this is way better off being the image for Cloudcuckoolander, which surprisingly lacks one. The current should be moved to there.

Cloudcuckoolander's Webcomic subpage already has a good pic. I think the current's decent enough to be a Keep Until Better Image Suggested case.

Keep until better image is suggested.

Dammit.

Why is the current even worth keeping? Again, there is no indication of the Chaotic part, just general weirdness. Compare Lawful Stupid, which actually illustrates the enforcement of the law being taken to stupid extremes.

There's probably an 8-Bit Theater comic somewhere that illustrates this adequately, but that requires an Archive Binge into its massive backlog.

[up] Lacks the indication of Chaotic, just like current. Homer's just being plain old stupid.

What's chaotic weirdness to you compared to general weirdness?

It usually involves being chaotic just for the sake of it, which tends to lead actions that should (or do) get people killed. The page quote provides an excellent example of this.

Elan is just being weird, while Homer is just being stupid. There is no indication of invoking chaos, unpredictability, etc. because they can.

PCs who fall under this trope, likelier than not, do not understand or adhere to that (correct) usage, though.
