The current is just a screenshot of a tweet. Frankly, I'm not sure "I wish I was dead" is that witty a statement anyway. Here's an example I consider a bit more witty as far as Genre Savvy commentary goes. note

I'm not crazy about the suggestion, but the current is a bad parody and needs to go regardless.

Pull the current regardless.

It's an improvement.

Alternate suggestion: The Magic The Gathering card aptly named Rumors of my Death, which nicely shows the trope without dialogue

[up] Despite the name match the image is actually Attending Your Own Funeral, although I will admit there can be overlap between the two tropes.

This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.

[up] I think it's a better pic for that page than its current.

A tentative yes from me for the OP replacing the current, barring suggestion of a better image.

It's been since last weekend... anyone else want to weigh in on this and/or suggest other options?

Guys, Guys! What about Joseph Joestar crashing his funeral at the end of Battle Tendency?

^ It's a possibility, but as stated further up the page, it's best to avoid overlap with Attending Your Own Funeral.

"No pic for now" is 5 points in the green, 6 in the lead. Call it?

Let's see how things are sitting come Monday.

Now that it's past Monday, "no pic for now" is 6 points in the green, 7 in the lead. Should we call it or no?

Yeah, this is safe to call. The pic's pulled and the page is tagged; locking up.
