Opened. I got a chuckle out of it but maybe something a little more on-point would be better.
^ They're a start, but I don't think they're ideal for various reasons:
- The first is only half the trope. It only shows the affectionate mother-son relation, it lacks the hostile father-son relation.
- The second does capture that part (and also shows it ocurring during the supposed phallic stage of child development), but the quality isn't very good.
- The third requires too much familiarity with the play methinks. Otherwise it's not really clear what's happening or who these people are. Plus, Oedipus himself is Not An Example, so using him will probably be a bit misleading.
Doing a more complicated search cough I found this: [1]◊
Which is actually pretty cute. It's from Deviant Art, though, and has that copyright symbol. (link to artist's page)
Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they prettyWe might be able to get permission for that one.
Clock is set. If we want to go for something that's actually from a work, there's this...the specific one I'm thinking of is the next-to-last one on the page, specifically either the first and last or last two panels.
Cleaner quality version here, but it's a NSFW site so peruse with caution.

5 works the best for me. It's more concise than at least.
^^ I'd say those last two panels mentioned are a bit clearer when shrunk down to wiki size than 5.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Crowner's hooked.
Votes bump; only one in the green right now.
Calling the crowner. I've tweeted the artist to see if we can get permission to use the winner; if he turns us down then the other option in green will default to the page. He hasn't done anything on Twitter or FB since February so hopefully I hear back from him soon.

Passing on the info to the Pics Awaiting Permission thread, as there hasn't been an update since.
Edit: And done, so closing to make more room for threads.
