JAFAAC-ish: Sticky Bomb

There is nothing but a guy wearing a red helmet standing there with some glowing blue thing right next to his head. I don't think that really shows that it sticks to stuff. It just looks like something that glows blue, and unless one knows about grenades in Halo, this is perhaps not the best image.

EDIT: In case somebody pulls the image, here it is.

We could add a real life sticky bomb.

Or, if that doesn't work, I'm guessing the Demoman's stickie bombs from Team Fortress 2 or the Gooey Bomb from Super Smash Bros could work.

I'm okay with Link and the the gooey. Prefer to see other options though.

Link and the Gooey bomb are good.

btw, you should read the full comic that picture comes from. it's hilarious.

The first thing that came to mind were the explosives that Batman was using in The Dark Knight, but the Link comic is good too.

It honestly looks like a sunnyside up egg...

It's also beeping while being explicitly called a gooey bomb.

If it looked like a bomb instead of someone fixing some eggs and threw it at him it would work but yeah not a good image.

I like the gooey bomb image. It looks rather bomb-like while at the same time sticky. It is attached to his back, further indicating stickiness, while also beeping and emitting a scared reaction, indicating the bombiness. And then there's also Navi as Captain Obvious saying that it's a goey bomb, which sounds like a kind of bomb in the Sticky Bomb category.

When reading the trope I immediately remembered a scene from the Lucky Luke album "Ghost Town" in which one of the crooks tries to throw away a lit stick of dynamite that was covered in glue so it to his fingers. It has a slightly blurry hand to indicate that he's shaking his hand but the dynamite isn't letting go.

I'll see if i can find a copy of that album so I can upload the image.

Everything can be found on the Internet... except common sense.

[up]That's good, but unfortunately you really need the entire comic in order to "get" the joke. Not that there's anything wrong with that (especially since it's still visible in the 4 panel image), but MMMV I prefer an image that's instantly recognizable in a single shot.

[up][up][up][up][up] Raso, unfortunately you seem to be the only person to think this, as usual. I never even played the game it was based off of but just looking at Link's expression and the fact that the thing is beeping (not to mention they actually call it a Gooey Bomb) is simply too obvious to be an "egg".

It could be both an egg and a bomb.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

[up][up][up]I like that one because it does actually look like a bomb. On the other hand, I agree comletely with Mattonymy on all points.

I also prefer the Brawl In The Family image aesthetically, but YMMV, of course.

I prefer the four panel over the single panel.

Darn, never got around to putting up an image (I kinda assumed someone else would take care of it).

Oh well, what will it be? Gooey Bomb or Comic Strip?

Well, okay, I'll try.
