I think the current page image is not just JAFAAC, but misleading. Interpol Special Agent refers to a specific type of Artistic License – Law where Interpol has unusual authority to police sovereign states. Just a logo of Interpol does nothing to show that, it instead suggests that the trope is Interpol In Fiction. It would be like just using a UN logo for United Nations Is a Superpower.

Agreed, pull and possible BUPKIS.

Pull, but I disagree on the BUPKIS. There's probably some relevant media with agents arguing about jurisdiction, or something like that.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Pull for being just a logo and a caption. I'll hold off voting BUPKIS for now.

Maybe a screenshot of Shi-Long Lang from Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth introducing himself could work?

[up][up]That's all right (the men in black suits in the background help), but I'd prefer the native resolution (256 × 192), or the HD mobile port if that's too small.

On the fence about Lang, the text-box seems to carry the whole image

I guess Lang is better than nothing.

Agreed about the text doing most of the legwork. It would help if the Interpol agent looked more like an intelligence officer than he does a pimp.

Having those cops in the background helps, but it's fairly subtle.

Lang. [tup]

Agreed with rjd about using the native res or HD port, though.

Clock is set. There's enough consensus for Lang; how does the pic look at native resolution?

The new pic's in and tagged; locking up since there hasn't been any caption discussion or a native-size version and the clock's past due.
