New trope. The current image is just a placeholder. Could be better. Needs more of the "writing back and forth" aspect of the trope. Maybe a soldier in warzone tent writing to a loved one back home. Something like that.

  1. A bit abstract, but possible
  2. Not my favourite
  3. "Snail mail"
  4. I do like this concept of a Visual Pun
  5. Better version of 1.4

1.4 is watermarked so that one's not viable from the get-go, and I have to wonder if the current and most of the other suggestions are copyrighted stock photos as well.. I actually quite like 1.2 as it seems like the kind of thing kids who are pen pals would do back in the day.

Yeah, but it doesn't really demonstrate the trope. None of my suggestions do, really.

[up] Could we crop out Bart's reply? It doesn't really add anything.

[up] Also doesn't really illustrate the trope.
