There have been a few different page image suggestions for my TLP draft, Humorous Hyena, and I'm working to decide on one based on some of the suggestions given (as well as a few of my own), though alternate suggestions are also welcome.

1.1 — move current image on The Hyena to this trope (not really opposed to having a literal hyena on that trope, but despite the name, that trope doesn't have to involve hyenas)

1.2, 1.3, 1.4 — some fairly similar pictures of Ed from TLK (if we end up using any of these, we may have to replace the image on The Hyena anyway)

1.5 — Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed from TLK, since all three of them are Laughably Evil and the facial expressions kind of convey this (granted, the hyenas from TLK are already on Heinous Hyena)

1.6, 1.7, 1.8 — some drawings from DeviantArt (though we'd have to get the artists' permission for these)

1.9 — Harry the hyena from The OWCA Files / Phineas and Ferb

1.10 — the hyena from Lady and the Tramp

1.9, since the Lion King trio is already on Heinous Hyena, and it's better to have a variety of sources.

Either 1.1, 1.3 (but only if the pic on The Hyena were changed), or 1.9 is good.

Just to add one of a hyena telling a joke:

[up] Inclined to change my vote to this one, although I wonder if it would look better using just the first panel?

13 seems to be the one we've agreed on, so I think I'll add it to the draft and close this thread by the end of the week. Any suggestions for an image caption?

(By the way, I plan on adding the other images to an Image Links page once the trope is launched.)

Last call for image caption suggestions — at some point within the next few days I'll close the thread and add #13 to the draft.
