[up][up] I vote for the second image. Simple, effective and doesn't use all of the panels.

Votes bump; right now two options have positive ratios.

Calling this one for the Pokémon strip. I prefer the 2-panel take, although I almost think we could get away with just the last panel.

Last panel alone is fine.

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

The last panel's up and tagged. I've put up a placeholder caption; any other ideas?

Still more effective than shooting him.

[up] Why is it linked to the TCG Pokémon instead of the whole franchise?

For caption, I'm thinking along the lines of the Pokémon Logic dictating Flying-Types to be immune to Ground-Types... even if it made physical contact and should clearly hurt.

[up] I think that'll do. Better than implying that Marowak is somehow involved here. And easy to understand.

The single-panel version is not doing it for me.

[up] If we go with the two-panel version, we're ignoring the guideline we've set for ourselves regarding what counts as fair use, which we've stuck with on other such suggestions in the past. That was my main objection to that suggestion from the get-go.

The trope is "character shrugs off an attack that should have hurt them", and the one panel illustrates that just fine.

I changed the pothole and added the example to the Webcomics folder. Locking up.
