I think the current image on Polly Wants a Microphone would fit better on Sapient All Along.

For reference, previous thread that picked the image for Polly Wants a Microphone

Also, [tdown] for moving

[tdown] I don't see any reason to move it. I would rather find something that illustrates this trope without also illustrating a different one.

Yeah I don't see a reason to move anything personally.

I say keep and not just do anything about the page.

Yeah I would rather keep it on Polly Wants a Microphone where it better fits the trope specifically (about birds which can mimic human speech in real life being full fledged sapient Talking Animals in fiction)

[up] Its hard to make out the words in the top pannels and I don't know if that is just my screen or not.

[up] It's perfectly legible on mine. I tweaked it a lot to get it just right.

I thought removing panel 1 would mess with the composition and font sizes too much but it might have worked out better than I thought it would:

[up][up] I... honestly don't get it? The first two panels are this blue guy on a yellow device talking to this woman with a hat? And then the last two panels feature entirely different characters in a different location, now there's a pink critter in a forest with Leia, and I guess the point they're making is that wookiees are sapient? Or something?

[tdown] for being not very illustrative.

I have trouble following? Is the white critter the same as the pink one?

Anyway, the trope is not "some alien creature turns out to be sapient", but more like "if given the ability to talk, actual animals are revealed to be as sapient as humans".

[up] It's a smidge broader than that in that "alien creature you think is just a critter" and even "the toys from Toy Story when they talk to Sid" are included. But I'll concede people are finding it too muddled due to the fur colour differences.

Would 12 work for You Can Talk?? The current image is just some random image from the internet.

[up] I think just the bottom two panels can work in that case.
