Needs Help: Relieving The Reaper

This image◊ was suggested for Relieving the Reaper in the Image Suggestion thread. However, this image is already being used on Subbing for Santa. Since the former is a Sub-Trope of the latter, the obvious course of action is to move it there instead and find a replacement with someone who isn't the Grim Reaper. On a minor note, I think the version that was suggested in the thread is slightly better quality than the current on SFS.

Agreed, move the pic to Relieving the Reaper.

I can go with that.

Relieving the Reaper is a subtrope, so move it there.

Subbing for Santa needs an image that involves Santa Claus of course.

[1]◊

I think it's best if Santa himself weren't used, since according to the description it can apply to any mythological figure. Relieving the Reaper is narrow enough that I don't think it's a problem in that case, but using the Trope Namer as the page image tends to make it seem more narrow to the casual troper.

A possible replacement for Subbing for Santa: Olive the Other Reindeer◊, in which one of Santa's reindeer was filled in by the main character.

Seconding moving what's there to Relieving the Reaper.

Yeah, let's move the thread suggestion over to Relieving the Reaper.

Suggestion◊ for Subbing for Santa, Family Guy:

9 seems good.

This is a bit confusing. If we shouldn't use a Santa image, then 9 doesn't work.

• Greek Mythology:
  • Heracles and Atlas◊
• Looney Toons
  • Bugs Bunny and the Easter Bunny◊

Note that most of the examples on the page are Santa, but if we want to remind people that this isn't just about Santa, then — and I obviously agree with the above discussion — we shouldn't use a Santa image.

EDIT: I also meant to suggest this other Heracles and Atlas image◊ (I guess that's "13.3").

13.2

I think both the Atlas images rely on knowing the myth (otherwise they look like two dudes holding a giant ball). 13.2 isn’t terribly clear that he’s the Easter Bunny, but I suppose it can be inferred easily enough.

13.2's pretty good.

13.2

If the idea is to get across that Subbing for Santa involves more than just literally subbing for Santa Claus, then I support 13.2 too. Content from the page and a good caption should provide the necessary context.
