This one from Pinky and the Brain is pretty clear and has the bonus of also having a joke

Not as good as the current. Without context, it's not clear from the image alone why he is pumping breath spray.

Er, yeah, the OP kinda confuses me. The punchline is too random there.

[up][up] To be fair, it is clearer than in the current image.

...Is it? Slick is dressed in nice clothes and seems to be preparing for a date, or at least because he thinks he'll have a date (body language says stuff here). Pinky is just... using breath spray more or less unprompted.

[up] With the mutual blushing, I'd say Pinky expects Brain to kiss him, because of what he said in the first panel.

[up] I disagree, OP just seems way messier in terms of both visual flow and informing context than the current image.

[up] Agree.

Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?

I could also make something from one of the video examples on the page, but it'll be tonight before I'll have time to work on it.

[tup] 11.2. Gets the common reaction to this kind of thing, too.

[tup] 11.2 but only because it shows a date.

I'd actually choose a Regular Show episode as an example, but 11.2 captures both the trope, the date, and the reaction to the breath spray all in one panel.

Well, I still like 1 but 11.2 is also great. [tup] to either.

You better hope they didn't use the Garlic flavor.

At least the kiss will be partially minty and not totally hairy?

Let's hope he didn't lead off with Axe.
