Duplicate Image: Fish Out Of Water

The image is close to Mobile Fishbowl where it's more fitting. It's also already featured in the Video section. Struggling to come up with a suggestion that is not already covered by one of the subtropes on Fish out of Water.

The image of Fish from Mobile Fishbowl is also a duplicate from his character page.

Pull. I'm not a fan of the pun here. I can support moving it to Mobile Fishbowl to deal with the character page dupe, though.

[up]Agreed. Move current to the Mobile Fishbowl

[up] Agree.

For a replacement, maybe something from The Beverly Hillbillies?

And a suggestion from Green Acres that I'll throw out there too, while I'm at it.

[up] The second is clearer to me conceptually, but blurrier visually.

I like 6.2.

Country Mouse and City Mouse are closer tropes for the ones in 6 (the pic on the former is similar to 6.1).

I'm leaning towards Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I got an idea: Tanjiro's first time in the city in Demon Slayer.

^^ I agree with the problematic City Mouse overlap. However, by that logic you should also dismiss current image since it overlaps with Mobile Fishbowl.

The difference is that the current is a Visual Pun, so the overlap isn't going to confuse anyone.

We have so many tropes with punny names based on literalising figurative expressions that that isn't really assured. (Human Resources being the first one that comes to mind.)

I agree the current for Fish out of Water should be moved to Mobile Fishbowl. As for a replacement, I prefer the Demon Slayer image.

Sounds good to me. [tup] I don't remember if Chicken Little even had a character page back when I was working on Mobile Fishbowl in TLP.

Agreeing with the City Mouse and Country Mouse overlap, now that I look closer.

Leaning towards the Demon Slayer suggestion in that case.

I had an idea but then realized this was already similar, so: how about we move the image on Alternate Tooniverse here and find another one less confused-looking one for that page? I think Jordan looks sufficiently (a) lost and (b) different from the other characters.

[tdown] to the Demon Slayer pic because I can't read the text on mobile.

[up] is fine.

17 works but it's a bit busy. Might need a quality upgrade as well.

If folks are reluctant to leave Alternate Tooniverse without a pic, I do have a replacement suggestion:

[up]I like your suggestion for Alternate Tooniverse more than the current[tup].
