The page is currently on the Bupkis list; how about panel 9+10, or 9+10+11?

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I don't really get the trope from the suggestion.

Well, he's paralyzed (lotus eating, basically) until he has his epiphany. The caption could point that out, too.

[tdown] to suggestion. It doesn't work without knowing the context.

Maybe images of Plato's Allegory of the Cave? Or would it be too niche? I made sure to find suggestions not on Platonic Cave. 1, 2, 3,4

7.3 > 7.1 > 7.2 > 7.4

I think the only problem with The Allegory of the Cave is that the prisoners are chained down, but it is more about how people choose to see what they believe and do not question it than them being physically restrained there.

5[tup]. A version of the images in 7 are already on the page of Platonic Cave, using that would make it a duplicate.

Previous threads, btw.

I don't get OP and I'd rather not use Platonic Cave.

I said it before; OP suggestion is too confusing for me. That, and the fact that it's Order of the Stick, make me a little hesitant.

Platonic Cave is a better idea.

The clock's up. I'm not exactly keen on 5, and I don't think it's got enough consensus. Locking up.
