Such an old manga volume can be found for 1 Euro at the place I know. Not what you'd call expensive. But I'll first do extensive search on the web for a scan of it.

There's a ton of Image Pickin' topics and crowners sleeping already, that one can wait one week at worst. Better have all pics in the crowner at the beginning, especially with ones with lots of pics, because the ones added midway tend to be drown into the others and get ignored.

Uh...there's a thing called the internet. Just find a site that hosts the manga and get the page from there.

Not to mention that after waiting a week to get this image (which is 50 years in internet time), a scanned image would probably look half as good as something you could find online.

Also, helterskelter, I highly suggest you organize those Gwen images into some kind of appealing form before I put them on the crowner, or nobody's going to vote for them.

Didn't I said I'll search extensively on the web first?

And again, look at Image Pickin' boards. Tons of topics are waiting for months, it won't kill to have this one wait for a few days.

[up] Considering we already have plenty of good images, unless the Dragonball one will be a showstopper, we have no reason to wait around for a week.

DB scans of those books a Horrible Chinese bootlegs there is a group doing HQ scans but they are on like chapter 30, you won't find it. (Detective Conan's mid 200 chapters are the same way.)

But yeah let's get this started.

All right, I smoothed the image a bit and swapped out the words so they'd be more legible. I'm going to put this on the crowner.

That one panel in single works, but I'm thinking that maybe doing a two-panel along with the one where she says "You don't remember me? I'm Chi-Chi, the daughter of Gyuumao" would be good to. Not only you get a better look at her grown-up face, but it strengthens the She's All Grown Up factor.

I found one from Asterix. The picture can be bigger, I just will have to scan a new image.

I found a clean version of that Dragonball panel, but it's a raw. I just have to put in the translated text.

Eh. I didn't set my heart on it or anything, but I think it does show the trope. If it makes it better, I can recolor the orange circle thing blue for a better visual connection.

All right, I added the Asterix image, as well as the cleaned Dragonball images. And the new Gwen image.

Now we just need a mod to tag the crowner.

^^^^ I love the Asterix reference as a Frenchman, but it's too wordy and the pic quality isn't good enough to my tastes.

^^^ Excellent, thanks The Pope ! ^_^

^^ That new Gwen pic is quite good. Really shows the age difference.

Meanwhile, I was working on a sample of the two panel idea I had. Here it is:

I'm wondering exactly why that's in such bad quality to begin with...

Well, let's admit it, the art is a bit pixellated.

That chapter is like from 1986 or so and probably a scan of a bootleg copy of it. All the old DB scans on the net are that bad, until recently.

Was it normally like that? I don't really remember, to be honest.

It's been like forever since I saw the Dragonball manga.

Aw, I liked the version that emphasized her...er...growth. Though that could be just the pervert in me talking.

Well, looks like we have a clear winner.

Though in the caption I'd like one link to the third frame of her, with it saying something like "She's really grown...in more ways than one."

[up] Thats good... I am working on getting an image with no "F" on it right now (or try and get the "F" but not the "B")

EDIT: Here its the one with no titles at all (god it was a hard cap my capper likes to skip to the next key frame....) [1] [2]

I don't see any reason to highlight the "Ooooh, she grew big ol' tits" aspect. The trope is "The little kid has grown up and is a real stunner now." Not "she got big boobs."

And not only is it completely irrelevant to illustrating the trope, but it's misleading about what the trope is.
