Suggestion: Heavier Than It Looks

This is a fairly recent trope. However, I think the current page image has a bit of an issue with Telling instead of Showing.

I recalled this example from The Universal Solvent, the super-dense residue left behind by said substance.

A Lilo And Stitch comic from Disney Adventures magazine jumped to mind (nearly 21 years later?!), although it isn't nearly as concise as OP. Still, I figured I'd throw it into the ring just in case. Maybe it can go on Image Links or something.

It's clear what has consensus, so i'm going to skip my own Odd Squad suggestion and give a [tup] to OP.

Allow me to be a contrarian: without a good caption, that image could easily be interpreted as Gyro being Pathetically Weak.

I mean the pose he is in doesn't lend credence to him knowing how to lift... well... anything.

I agree the current image is telling instead of showing, but it is at the very least functional.

So conditional [tdown] from me.

I think that's a red paint argument. It's far simpler to take the text telling us the dust is heavier than it seems to be at face value.
