Current image is... okay. It's the Trope Namer, and it does show why there could be confusion, but it doesn't actually demonstrate actual confusion and the quality isn't great (the important text is legible, but the impossible to read text is just annoying).

Maybe a couple panels from this comic?

A combo of any of the first two panels or any of the first three plus the fourth is fine with me.

How many panels can we use fairly?

I'm for any of the first three panels (I don't have a preference) plus the fourth.

^^ It might be better to ask for permission and not have to worry about that.

I've contacted the artist to see if we can get permission for the whole comic. If we can't, then I'd say no more than two panels should be used.

Bump; the artist gave permission to use the comic, so we're good to go. We just need to locate the actual comic on the website.

Cool, thanks. [tup] It's up with the relevant links and tagged; actual caption?

Surely the caption should simply tell us what Zelda, Akira, and Metroid's real names are, right?

Seems like the best thing to do, along with where they're from.

Seconded.

Edit: Okay, in order of appearance: Link from The Legend of Zelda, Kaneda from AKIRA, Samus from Metroid

I agree, but I think there should be something witty there with a note saying "Actually, it's Link, Kaneda, and Samus Aran." and the necessary potholes.
