I don't like visual pun/literal images for tropes that can be illustrated, so I'd like to suggest the image that's currently on The Doctor Takes a Wife for this page — it clearly shows the Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl contrast and hints at the farce/slapstick/romance that are characteristic of the genre.

Replacement suggestion for that page

I'm good with that action, but I'd snip the information off the bottom of the current poster.

Also, the current image isn't even a good Visual Pun. It's a ball with screws, but where's the comedy?

[up] Exactly, this is basically why I'm not a fan of Visual Puns on pages

This cool? I don't like the leftover blue at the bottom but I guess that's better than cropping out his foot.
