This image crashed in the Image Suggestion thread. Other ideas?

This is one of those that's going to be really hard to capture in a static pic without a lampshade...tempted to call it a BUPKIS case, but let's see if we can get some ideas.

^ I wonder if it works for those who haven't seen the film.

[up][up] I think her expression helps sell it, as she looks distressed about it to me.

[up]Even without it, I think it's plain to see that's a fairly big torch with only one tiny flame coming out of it.

3 could work, I think.

Maybe as a caption: "Must...not...sneeze...'''

Perhaps an establishing setting shot (panel 1 or 2) before getting to panel 3

[up]Is that really necessary?

Although panel three here is lighter, maybe we should use that. Or would the darker one work better in this case?

I don't think the preceding two panels are necessary, and the darker panel actually helps with the expression of the trope.

I'll stick with 3 and Willbyr's caption.

This has gathered enough dust. The pic/caption combo is added and tagged; locking up.
