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.

I can't really make out what's going on in Hunter of His Own Kind

I'm much too lazy to come up with a caption.

Also nothing indicates the animal in Thieving Pet is actually a pet. He is wearing clothes, but l still don't see how that illustrates him being owned by someone else.

Why else would an animal be wearing clothes? Even if we don’t see his owner, we can easily infer that he belongs to someone.

As for Hunter of His Own Kind: Slimer (a ghost) is working to capture other ghosts. An upgrade could help clarify what’s going on in the lower panel.

I think Hunter of His Own Kind relies too much on Ghostbusters knowledge to know that Slimer and the things being captured are the same thing, and that the trap is for catching things.

Does Improvised Armor work? It looks like a kid playing a soldier, so that shield and helmet of his is just for the show and isn't meant to actually protect him. The trope is about improvised items that are used for real protection.

It's approved by IP (and two thread were made already), so it shouldn't be pulled without a superior replacement.

Source strip (will take some elbow grease for an 800px upgrade). I'm ok with the panels being small as it helps sell 'many', but I think it should be cropped so that the "my bodies!" text is readable (for explanation).

Speaking of small: what is going on in Sequel Number Snarl? I can't read this at wiki size.

It was voted in via this thread. We may want to revisit the options.

Is RedEyesTakeWarning.Webcomics' image a "character and their face" example or not? I think the impact of this image is weak as considering what the trope means, but the page's hypothetical new image doesn't have to go to be an absolute and obvious nightmare fuel.

I figure out an alt example on the webcomic trope page. The image is from Penny Arcade. However, we may have to consider the Penny Arcade image's wall of text or it's size (?).

Doesn't look much better to me, and Wall of Text would indeed be an issue. But counter suggestions should be in new threads and not here.

My issue with the current webcomic image is that the red background actually kind of washes out the red eyes and makes them far less prominent.
