To keep it concise: I don’t get it. The example in the Real Life folder provides context, but that’s not apparent in the image at all. Ian McKellen might be a famous actor, but with an image this small, I don’t think you could easily recognize him.

back lol

On the off chance it's just a resolution issue, here's a re-crop from one of the larger images I could find.

Alternately, maybe Emperor Augustus from The Sandman issue 30. I think it might work with panels 1 and 3, but included 2 for context. There's also a few panels of applying the makeup and clothes we could try.

Perhaps someone should edit together the panels of the Tintin comic were Haddock mistakes a rich guy for a homeless man.

For me the issue with the current isn't size, but angle. I can't really recognize him in profile.

Not into the other suggestion tho, can't read it on mobile

Mind you [up] Looks more like King Incognito (and perhaps a stronger example that whats on that page currently) than this trope as it looks like he's intentionally disguised himself.

I know we're Simpson's overdosed but there's always this:

10 is probably the best option.

I'm good with 10 for this page and replacing the pic on King Incognito with 9.

Would 10 work with just the first panel?

[tup] 10 because I think the extra panels make it funny.

Concise beats funny if want to go by our Clear, Concise, Witty credo.

[down] They are longer than the description in their current size, we would have to shrink them to fit nicely onto the page.

[down][down] It also counts for trope examples and trope images are examples in my book.

[up] Three panels is hardly unwieldy though.
