24.1 is good for me, yeah.

I dunno... This trope is clearly about Stock Phrases and NOT about bad breath or even reactions to bad breath in general. Wouldn't using a pic without a Stock Phrase be expanding the definition and be confusing?

[up]Even Stock Phrases need to at least allude to an actual observeable situation, otherwise it's not a trope.

I am actually dubious - this "trope" is clearly about the response, not the bad breath itself.

Yep it's the response/reaction.

I've found a particular picture on Deviant Art which I believe would be perfect for this trope.

I'm willing to do the work of asking for permission and editing to wiki size, if this picture is chosen.

I vote for 24 too, over the more recently suggested.

What I have against 24 is that it lacks contrast, making it difficult to see what's going on without looking carefully. Also, it seems rather small.

That said, 24 would be my second choice so if it's really more popular, I'm not going to complain.

Below is a cropped and wiki-size version of the image I suggested.

I like 24 also, and the art is an unusual style.

Somehow, I think the style emphasizes the trope even more there...

I've unclocked the thread and hooked a crowner.

Bump for votes; the leader's the only one in the green, and this can probably be called tomorrow if the vote margins stay the same or improve in its favor.

Calling this one; the new pic's up and tagged. The work isn't on the page as an example; does it need to be linked?

Old pic:
