Current doesn't seem very illustrative, so here's two other suggestions from xkcd:

1.2 is better than the current, but I think the bottom text is unnecessary

All seem to be a little overly complicated?

The New 60 (1/4, can add the previous panel for more context)

[up]Isn't the trope about overly complicated directions, though?

[up] Specifically, it's overly complicated directions that are treated by whoever gives them as simple.

It's not about the Catchphrase "You can't miss it", but complicated directions that are presented as simple, which makes the suggestions in 3 not illustrative. 1.1 is good at showing complicated, or more like weird, directions. My vote goes to 1.2, as it sounds simple but is actually difficult to follow. I agree that the bottom text is not necessary.

Done and tagged with suggested caption. It's nice to not have to update the Image Source, closing.
