Current image is page quote territory and repeats the first line of the description.

Replacement suggestion with alternative cropping:

Apparently, it's from this comic which doesn't seem to have a workpage on here.

Both are good, but I like 1.1 a bit more for showing the slip being him responding to something she said. The example should go in here and the 13/Kon-El/Conner Kent examples on Superboy.

I kind of like the current Visual Pun, but 1.1 works.

^ What visual pun? I could think of a Freudian sip but it's not there.

1.1 is the breast - I mean best of the two suggestions.

1.1 is good. Also, the current is more Stealth Pun than Visual Pun, as is the current image for Stealth Pun itself. A Visual Pun would probably involve Freud trying to walk on ice.

What's the stealth pun in current?

[up]Freudian sip, as you previously asked about, both due to the cup Freud's holding and the cup the image is on. My main point is that an image that features a pun isn't necessarily a Visual Pun. Visual Pun's description starts with "When a phrase which is usually used as a metaphor is instead shown as being performed literally" and the current image doesn't show Sigmund Freud slipping on anything, aside from his words, which doesn't count because that's what a Freudian Slip actually is.

Well, at any rate we've got enough consensus for 1.1 so it's in and tagged. I kinda wanna use "You got busted, kid." as the caption, but that may not fit the trope well enough.
