This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.
For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.

Not really. The caption helps, but then we don't really need all those small panels.
Do we need both panels in Frame Break?

I like it better with both; the first establishes the "scene" that's broken in the second row. The dialogue doesn't need to be readable.

Altar Diplomacy was in Quality R Us, not sure what happened there. I wouldn't touch it without the suggestion. Frame Break looks good to me, but the edit without speech bubbles is up for consideration.

Is Villainous Incest clear enough that they’re twins and they’re villains?
Captain Cryptic
Yes on their being twins because Half-Identical Twins is a thing, no on their being villains because there isn't anything going on that suggests villainy besides the two of them being in a dark room.
I wouldn't pull without a replacement. You can make enough of a logical inference that I don't think it's actively hurting the page.
CG for short
Is Distracted by the Luxury too reliant on its caption to get the trope across? I see that Marie is focused on a ring but nothing else.

Yeah, it looks like she’s just admiring her ring.
I don’t get Full-Circle Revolution’s image even after looking at it several times.

Macron's notes
I'm helping!
The rulers pictured in the second panel are the rebels mentioned in the first panel.
It's not super obvious but we'd vote Keep Until Better Image Suggested.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
(she/her)
Oh I see. The difference wasn’t that obvious to me I guess
Macron's notes
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale — looks like a ship. Is the text part of the context for the image? Is the window/frame important?
Edited by Tabs on Jan 25th 2022 at 8:52:26 AM
Maybe adding some more context would help. For example, adding the first panel of page 16 and the first panel of page 18. But then it would be way too texty.

Does the wedding cake(?) in Til Murder Do Us Part’s makes it clear that the trope is about someone murdering their spouse?
Macron's notes
Doesn't really look like a wedding cake to me.

It looks like a cake, but it doesn't tell me what the trope is about.
I think it's okay. The wedding topper things are replaced with a chalk outline for one with the other nowhere to be seen. It's cute.

Accident, Not Murder doesn’t look like an accident.
Macron's notes
^ It looks like Body in a Breadbox.
What's happening in Closet Punishment? And in "Strangers on a Train"-Plot Murder?

Hi
- None of those are good.
Sizable Snowflakes is a collage consisting of 2 images, which I find weird. Collages should be 3 pics at minimum—and this is a trope that can be illustrated by just one.
Yeah, I think one picture would be enough.
No, those panels are awfully small.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
