Picture recently added. Maybe it would illustrate — if the panels weren't so small that you can't tell what's going on, including the text not being legible. It relies on the caption to tell what's going on, which make it not illustrative.

Yeah, I can just barely read that. The first two panels might be sufficient on their own.

It's already at max width. Removing the bottom two panels won't make the text bigger or more legible.

...which would entail searching for larger versions and going with those if they're out there, as I was intending with that.

If there isn't a better version found, I'm voting to pull the current. If an image relies on text in it, the text needs to be clearly legible.

Pull if there is not a better suggestion.

GIS didn't come up with a better-quality version of that scene, so let's try to find something else. Pulling the current in the meantime.

Can anything be done with this?

That's a good find, I think we can make something from it.

12 is:

  • a very good example of Dream Within a Dream (as described in first paragraph). I like 14.1 better than current image over there
  • a good example of Crashing Dreams. (still needs an image, see 14.2)
  • a weakish example of Dream Tells You to Wake Up. The wakeup call should be coming directly from a character within the dream and not as a voice from the real world bleeding into the dream.

I don't understand the problem with the original image, I can read it fine.

The original is taken from here. If you want the text to be bigger, perhaps we can use just the first two panels, and rearrange the first above of the second.

The clock's up and we've got enough consensus to go with 18, so it's up and tagged. Locking up.
