I see the "work" part (Arnold and Helga washing dishes at a restaurant), but I don't see the "debt" part.

Pending a better suggestion, I'll see if I can find a context panel. Might also check Super Paper Mario. As-is, it can go.

Like A Nonagon 9, pull unless another panel can be added for context.

A lot of good you did me.

The "debt" part seems hard to show in a photo (maybe a picture of an angry waiter holding a receipt or something). I move for BUPKIS, but I vote pull the current either way.

Would this set of screenshots from Animal Crossing work as a potential replacement image?

Hey, beat me to doing anything about this ;). Would the first panel even be necessary? I wouldn't go so far as to call it superfluous, but I like trimming when possible.

[up]Eh, I think having the first panel in makes the situation clearer, plus it makes it easier to tell that the player character in the second image is wearing a work uniform (as opposed to using a custom pattern), considering that the "working for Tom Nook" tutorial hasn't been part of the series since 2008. That said, I suppose using just the second screenshot would look something like this:

Okay, yeah, the first panel adds more than I thought.

Went back to the Hey Arnold episode, and this was about the best I could do.

[up] Took me a while to notice it's for a different restaurant. Maybe a caption would help?

I feel like you're onto something, though.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Sure thing!

Caption if using my suggestions: These restraunts are across the street from each other. Your call if that makes the mistake better or worse.
