This Image did not get sufficient support in the Image Suggestions thread.

This seems to at least show the interrogator getting scared, but it's not obvious that it's caused by the one who's being interrogated.

This one's going to be hard to do without getting something that runs into over-textiness.

Did someone say overtextiness? tongue

I'd say the obvious prison environment and Dr. Long's stressed expression add to it though.

If it's too much we can shave off the first panel and stack 'em vertically.

That's Critical Psychoanalysis Failure, which does not currently have an image either.

I'm really not sure why the OP broke even with upvotes and downvotes. If you don't recognize the character in chains as a stereotypical "high culture" philosophy professor or are able to figure out from the text that he's making an ontological argument to confuse his interrogator...

Is it? He looks shaken but not mentally broken by the monologue.

[tup] 3 for Hannibal Lecture.

I think 3's better than the OP.

[up] x 4: I dunno... does the Hannibal Lecture necessarily need to be succesful? There's Shut Up, Hannibal!... but OP shows the devil in a state of distress while the (de)motivator coaches him to do the latter.

The trope naming is a bit iffy, because Shut Up, Hannibal! works for Breaking Them By Talking in general, not just Hannibal Lecture specifically. But yes, it doesn't need to be successful.

Bumping. I maintain that 3 better fits "turning the tables on your interrogator" (Hannibal Lecture) than "shaking your therapist to the core and driving them nuts" (Critical Psychoanalysis Failure) since the latter is at most just implied and the bulk of the picture is about said lecture.

[up] That and/or a different panel from that source strip would work well.

I don't think it's obvious an interrogation has taken place.

Bump. I’m in favor of putting 3 on Critical Psychoanalysis Failure, even if Dr. Long looks more shocked than completely broken. Not sure about 15.

I have whipped up a 3 panel version of 3 for those who think it's too texty. As usual don't worry about the size as it can be downsized in the coding:

I have also made a crowner, hollering to hook. Pay attention to the options - 3 is up for 2 pages, as is its 2 panel version.

Going ahead and calling this since it'll be at a week tomorrow and the votes haven't shifted. 3's in and tagged on Critical Psychoanalysis Failure and Hannibal Lecture is tagged; caption for Critical Psychoanalysis Failure?
