The current image is indeed funny, but it's also very tiny. The source image from Dresden Codak doesn't fix this; the way it appears on the page is just about the maximum resolution you can achieve with that crop.

Perhaps something punny as a replacement? It's a single-panel cartoon, but the artist indicates on the website that it's free to use with appropriate attribution.

I think your idea is an improvement over what's currently there, even though it's joke and doesn't really illustrate the exact trope.

I don't have a problem with the size of the current. It doesn't render it illegible.

Okay, this trope is weird, tropeability-wise, but the suggestion is funny and the current is not, so [tup] OP's suggestion.

The OP works for me.

I'm tempted to make some sort of reference to the absurd butler/maid/Lionel Twain reveal at the end of Murder by Death, but it would probably just be obtuse to anyone not familiar with the film.

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
