~Paperfly made this suggestion in the Image Suggestions thread:

But I think it's a bit tricky to tell what's going on. I have an alternative suggestion:

I also thought of this but I think 1.3 might still be better:

[tdown]1.3

No objective reason. I simply really hate tOotS Page Images

[up] I thought about it and what I just said was immature, biased and extremely unfair to a creator's perfectly respectable work. Instead of saying that I find images from that comic to be visually interesting, I made it a matter of "Th Is Co Mi C iS noT A Likely tO mE."

Disregard my previous vote.

[up][up] TBF, The Order of the Stick is the source for a butt-ton of page images as it is, so I don't blame you. I don't mind the work (even though I've never seen it), but some diversity across the wiki would be nice.

But I digress. 1.3's got clear consensus so I'll throw in my vote for that.

My other thought is maybe:

I think this is an example of It Was His Sled too at this point?

[up] Still prefer 1.3 because it has the X Wingding Eyes, which make it clear the character is dead. Spock unintentionally looks like he's sleeping here and Kirk is like "C'mon, wake up".

[up] I actually agree but also you just made me snort-laugh.

For as much as I agree with 11 on overimaged works, I do have to agree 1.3 is the best one here so far.

1.3 is by far the clearest as to what's going on. It's the only one where you can immediately see all of: he's behind glass, the other guy has just been killed, he feels helpless that he couldn't intervene.

Calling for 1.3 as it's the only one that's received any consensus so far. It's in and tagged; caption?
