If someone can get some screencaps from T2 showing the tire rolling out of the wreckage of the semi after the culvert chase, I think that'd work well enough.
T2 immediately popped into my mind when i looked at the link
Niiice. Maybe cut one of the actual wheel panel, two looks redundant.
"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".Bump...any other thoughts?
Looks good, and you can cut the last panel.
First key to interpreting a work: Things mean things.Not "bad"... but... (yes, that's not exactly a compliment)
I'm partial to something where the free wheel is rolling sideways relative to the camera. Typical cartoon rendition is car charges offscreen to the right, BOOM, then a loose wheel goes bouncing back into panel right to left.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.I took out the bottom panel of the T2 example, and made a pic from the Garfield example on the page; the panels are kinda small, but I think they're clear enough (the fuzziness was in the source pic).

Bump...thoughts?
I like the Garfield comic better.
Rhymes with "Protracted."I'm leaning toward that one, myself.
The Garfield one is clearer.
Reaction Image RepositoryThe Garfield example is clearer — but the TF 2 pic has the advantage of being closer to the troper as written: roller skates are rather atypical. Primarily we're talking about a motor vehicle.
I don't think that's a concern. Or if it is, it's much less important than clarity.
Rhymes with "Protracted."The Garfield one works very nicely in the depictive department. Probably even just the two panels by itself (the offscreen crash and bouncing wheel) — I really hate triangular three-panel arrangements because it just screams "cut out a panel to avoid using the whole strip".

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.I think stacking those panels vertically would look a lot more awkward than having them arranged as they are. Also, I think the big panel's necessary for setup.

Since this is lagging and the Garfield pic's got more overall support, it's up, potholed, and tagged, and the first T2 pic is added to its example on the page.
I can't think of a good example offhand, but this seems like a fairly easy trope to illustrate. Anyone got any ideas?
