Does Not Illustrate: Emergency Food Supply Animal

Eat The Dog was recently renamed Emergency Food Supply Animal due to massive misuse, to which we in the TRS believe the image is contributing.

Menchi's two least favorite words? "Emergency Rations."

The ostensible rationale is that the image ties into a Running Gag in Excel♡Saga of people claiming the Token Non-Human is "emergency rations" as a joke, but it doesn't illustrate anything more than threatening a dog with being eaten.

[up] Isn't that just a less clear version of the current?

[up]Same issue?
I think we're going to have to use a comic panel with dialogue again if we want a image that illustrate this Trope better than "character want to eat this animal".

[up] Ok, here's the above with a cast shot.

Failing that, the Uzumaki example in the manga section might work, it should have text about waiting for the guy turning into a snail before the other group of survivors eats him. I don't have access to it at the moment, but it's worth a try later.

Pull current, and I don't think any of the suggestions make the "emergency" part clear.

10 isn't bad. Could be better but I could go for it if nothing better is suggested.

I like 10. I do get "hungry eyes" from that shot of Maui, and the cast shot does show off not only the group's dynamic but that the theoretically-also-edible pig is apparently higher on the pecking order than the chicken.

I am not feeling well 10. It doesn't sell the emergency part to me.

I could ask for permission for this (Facebook link) Excel♡Saga fanart:

It's fairly recent, but it was a Patreon request so I don't know if the artist will feel they'd need to honor the original requester or not?

[up]Good enough. [tup] It will need artist permission though.

I like 6. Guy on the right is clearly emaciated.

15 is the best if we get permission. Not a fan of any of the other options.

15.1 is good, so hopefully they give us permission.

The webtoon is here: https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/modern-monster-girls/list?title_no=886970&fbclid=IwAR0fn9oKqMOz9p_W3-v7TyiwVywrqFzx1ayAYg0rx-Azd5V2NIBn4CyhlNo&page=6

And the pateron is here: https://www.patreon.com/join/RobertArts777?utm_source=webtoons&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=RobertArts777&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fm.webtoons.com%2Fchallenge%2FpatreonCallback

They do NSWF stuff but whilst the patreon stips have a bunch of anime style sex jokes I don't see anything lewd that's not blurred out by pateron that you need to sub to unlock so I think those caveats should be still doable just saying both the pateron and the strip note  are aimed at +18 readers
