The "image" is entirely reliant to the dialogue to get its point across. I think the strip we had for the Trope Depictions is a much better illustration. Can we use that instead?

Ehhhhh...not really feeling those panels swapped, but we'd have to use the entire strip otherwise. Maybe we could get permission to do so.

Yeah, we may need the entire strip to get the point across.

Was looking through the examples, and not many are jumping out at me. Anyobe have better luck? When all else fails, we could go the Visual Pun route...

Tried to remove the second panel and shifted the speech bubble to the third. How does it look?
