That pic's got an obvious watermark/copyright/something in the corner, so it's not a viable option. The first thing that came to mind was the Scarecrow from Batman comics.
New one is cooler, old one is a better page image. However, I'd like to throw in another image.
You see, there is a practically unknown series of french comic books with average story, but a-goddamned-mazing art. I scanned a panel depicting a very evil and very slender character from the first book:
Ta-daa!

This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.Prefer Yzma of the three possibilities, she looks the leaner and meaner of the three.

She can be on both, as long as it is a different image of her. She is already on both Cruella to Animals and Fur and Loathing.
EDIT: Another Disney-related example would be Dr. Facilier.

I vote for Yzma out of all the options so far. Certainly better than the Mantis, which doesn't really look that thin..
The Mansion of E
The first one is pretty good.
EDIT: Here it is resized, then cropped to within the TV Tropes width limit.

"It wouldn't look as good at wiki size though. They're too far apart. We'd have to cut the other people out of that image to make it work on the wiki." - shimaspawn
Or alternatively, resize it?
EDIT: And my point was not just about that particular image, but ones LIKE it.

Should the one on Living Shadow be replaced with the version of it I posted?
EDIT: Here is a resized version of the earlier Facilier one. It fits within the TV Tropes width limit without even needing to omit the cape, while the skull on his hat is still visible.

Nominations for replacement images:

So, last week somebody changed the image for Lean and Mean. I didn't want to start an edit war, so I figured I'd bring it up here. For reference, here is the old image: [1]

And the new one:

Personally, I like the old one better. To me, Yzma is both more Obviously Evil and more exaggeratedly thin. If it weren't the page image for this trope I wouldn't even be sure that Psycho Mantis was supposed to be particularly thin. What do you guys think?
EDIT: gah, did not realize they would look like that on the forum.
