Which panels exactly? I don't see any combination that illustrates it well without being way too texty.

The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.

Well, some panels from that strip were used as the image for My Instincts Are Showing before it was changed a decade ago, but being too texty was exactly what got it changed, and you might need more panels to demonstrate the difference with that trope.

I'm going to guess the suggestion is to use panels 3-5?

ETA: [up]Not actually sure what the difference between the two tropes is, TBH.

I'm not quite sure what the difference between the two tropes is either

Yes, I was thinking of the bit with the string triggering Krosp the cat, but if it's already been rejected in the past, then move along.

@4 and 5

Paraphrased from Smart Animal, Inconvenient Instincts:

Compare My Instincts Are Showing (when "animals who act like humans" show animal instincts they try to hide, but not necessarily to their detriment).

I'm not in support of the suggestion either though (too wordy and it was already removed from My Instincts Are Showing because of that).

I pray for the protection and forgiveness of the persecuted innocents.

Quality in 10 is a bit bad, can we not stretch the panels?

I'd like to apologize for all this.

[up] Huh, I didn't even notice that till now. I actually downsized panel one to match panel 2 when I edited it from here.

Showing your bear-ly contained instincts yourself there, Rupert

For Doctor Moreau, it's easy to make men out of animals. Making gentlemen out of them is the tough part.

If all else fails, use fire.

I like my suggestion but I like 23 too, it's a bit classier.

Thanks! I like how yours points out the hypocrisy in Rupert's treatment of Ben.
