It's... just characters and a couple of speech balloons. You can't even see the characters' facial expressions.

I think this may as well be imageless, because come on. Anything that would make this picturable would make it inappropriate.

Yeah, looks like "better off as a page quote" to me.

Due to the content, I feel we need to add this to the "no pic" list.

I'm thinking this is probably a better candidate for BUPKIS as I don't necessarily think it has to be NSFW to be depicted, but the current pic does veer a little too far into "might as well be a page quote" territory, even with the bloodied corpse at the bottom.

And I would suggest to Keep Until Better Image Suggested. It's SFW, and it's discussed by the characters. That's why most images are from webcomics, right? Because the characters discuss the trope. And yeah, this sort of image is similar to the one in Black Comedy Rape, which was approved.

BUPKIS. SFW it may be, but the non-text parts of the image add nothing.

Nothing aside from the text says anything about the trope. Remove.

BUPKIS.

Listen. Hear the wind. Hear the corn stalks rustling. Those don't matter. The only thing that matters is THIS CHICKEN.

[up][up][up][up][up] On what do you base the claim that most examples are from webcomics?

Anyway, "discussion" of the trope is only beneficial in conjunction with something visual for which the whole is worth more than the sum of its parts. I'm not convinced there's any SFW way to demonstrate this trope.

BUPKIS it is, then. Pulling, tagging, and closing.
