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.

Mod edit: Before posting here, please check the page source to see if the page has previously been discussed in Image Pickin'. Your question may already have been brought up in a prior thread.

Well, there's a somewhat visible face in the third panel.

Is Cathartic Chores illustrative? For all we know, he's grimacing because he has dust on his face.

Does Big First Choice work? Of the 3 words in the title the only one I see is "choice".

Is Gender-Blending Tropes illustrative? It's an example in context, but since this a painting of a young child, the gender blending is not obvious to me.

The child is androgynous enough in appearance that I'd say it's a decent Keep Until Better Image Suggested case.

It's an amusing piece of art, but not illustrative.

Also, it annoys me that despite giving names it doesn't actually make it clear which character is which.

How does one illustrate a trope about names otherwise besides photoshopping the caption into the image?

Does this episode recap page even need an image if no other recap pages from Craig of the Creek have one to begin with?

[up][up] Yes, it looks better. If anything, that's more reason to add images to the other pages, than remove them from this one.

The Heretic is just a stamp by The Inquisition with no context. Its caption also may not be strong on humor.


Druid looks just like The Beastmaster with no indication of it being about magic users.
Witch Doctor is JAFAAC?
I have no idea what Impossible Leavening shows.

  1. Bad
  2. Agreed
  3. I think "indigenous" + "skull imagery" are the two main themings of witch doctors in fiction but it's weak otherwise
  4. Can be saved with a caption saying the brown puffy stuff is bread dough (then again I bake bread)

Does Dying Candle make sense if you don't know the story?

Someone is unconscious in the snow holding a match that has burned out. The clarity could be better but the symbolism is to the face.
