Late to the Punchline is using 4 of 6 panels. http://explosm.net/comics/1791/

Better yet, the two panels we aren't using are both Beat Panels.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Previous thread. Here's the current cut down to 3 panels.

Works for me.

Alternatively, a couple Calvin And Hobbes examples that show the time passage instead of merely stating it, each of which are only 2 out of 4 panels. If it is at all permissible to use 3 out of 4 panels, please let me know.

7.1 side-by-side would get my vote.

Either C&H is good...although, I have to admit that the punchline of it taking 50+ years for the burn to sink in in the current makes it more funny to me.

I prefer the updated current as well.

To be honest, I like the Calvin and Hobbes ones better. But any one of the three would be fine.

Both the updated current and the first Calvin and Hobbes work, though I'm partial to the latter. No reason other than personal preference.

The clock's up. I've gone ahead and swapped in the cut-down version of the current to take care of the fair use abuse; we can revisit this later when crowners are active again. Locking up.

A crowner's finally been created for this thread; it's reopened for discussion.

Pre-weekend votes bump; right now the current/2 is the only option with a positive ratio.

I think this one's ready to call. The tag's adjusted...does anyone else think the current caption is kinda useless?

I kinda like the caption. I could lose the pothole though.

The caption doesn't add much, not every joke in a page image needs clear explanation.

The consensus is to cut the caption and we still need to clear out some of the backlog, so I've gone ahead and cut the caption and tagged the page. Locking up.
