Hurricane of Puns and Incredibly Lame Pun share the same (rather weak) image. Any suggestions on replacing one or both?

Great example, but it would make a poor page image. At wiki size (350 pixels wide, max — that means less than half of its current width) it would be completely unreadable.

We'd only need about four panels, including "this is your junk". Stack Vertically and Voila.

[up] A lot of those puns are hard to get. Maybe a caption explaining them in hot-tips might be an idea.

In any case, I say the Incredibly Lame Pun pic could stand to be replaced too, as it is just a discussion of it, not an example.

EDIT: And here is an example: http://xkcd.com/282/

EDIT again: Wow, copying and pasting the comic I find it is exactly 350 pixels wide. No need for resizing or cropping at all. I shall upload it to TV Tropes then.

Honestly, the two quotes that are on the page are sufficient; adding a pic is pretty much gilding the lily.

Geoduck's suggestion is also a massive spoiler.

I like the xkcd one for Lame Pun, it's the reaction "we are no longer friends" that really sells it for me.

Yeah, xkcd would be perfect for Incredibly Lame Pun.

[up] I'd prefer it on that page.

As would I. It actually shows the In-Universe reaction to the pun which is important to the trope.

Should I put the XKCD one on ILP then?

[up] Sounds like a plan to me; just make sure to put in a hidden tag saying that the decision to change it was made in this thread with a link.

I see that ILP has been taken care of; back to Hurricane of Puns. I still say this one may be better left pic-less.

The Incredibly Lame Pun pic could be smaller; it's really big as of now.

And now that the pictures have been separated, leave this one as is.

Changed my mind; I'm fine with the current pic on Hurricane of Puns.

A Visual Pun, for a trope about Puns? This one has my vote.
