Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.How exactly do you illustrate this? It seems like anything would be really text-heavy.
That said, looking through the examples list, Calvin and Hobbes is mentioned. This
◊ is rather dialog-dependent, but it's a pretty good example.
EDIT: Calvin's
◊ Dad
◊ gets some good ones in, too. The second one would work fairly well with the panels arranged vertically.

Belief or disbelief rests with you.@Acritdy: I think the dad certainly has a "know it all" type of face in petrie's 2nd pic.
Reaction Image RepositoryI like that one two. The last panel alone should do. And a potholed caption to Critical Research Failure.
Fight smart, not fair.There's the Overbearing Know-It-All from the movie version of The Phantom Tollbooth..

Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
Do we really need to be image vigilantes over this? I thought it explained it pretty well.

It is mixed, sometimes Calvin's dad seems to be deliberately messing with him, sometimes he really doesn't know and is making something up. I don't know if there is a frame where he is clearly making something up.
Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
Keep the image. It's nowhere near a too vicious Take That! and is accurate reportage of Cooper Lawrence's actions.

Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
A little background, for the uninitiated.
The woman in the image, Cooper Lawrence, went to Fox news stating that Mass Effect was a virtual rape simulator where you could customize the women and have all sorts of different positions. She might be thinking of another adult program, but anyway, Fox ran the story where they also had someone who worked on the game. He asked if Cooper had ever played the game, she scoffs that she hadn't.
If the issue is that the image is JAFAAF then the text should be taken into account, as Semper Fi is a similar image that was upheld. If the issue is about it being a Take That! on Cooper Lawrence or Fox then I would argue that it is reportage.
Currently reading up My Rule Fu Is Stronger than Yours"A little background..."
A good image makes sense with no background whatsoever. (Bonus Points if context makes it even more appropriate.)
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.It's JAFAAC. I don't know who that person is, and there's no indication that what she's saying is even inaccurate. It doesn't even specify which game she's talking about. Long story short, the image is bad, and worse than no image at all.
Also, it seems I posted an incomplete version of the sunset comic. Here's
◊ the complete version. The second panel alone is probably best, as mentioned before.
Of course, it's entirely possible that this article would be better off without an image. But I still like Calvin's dad for it.
Belief or disbelief rests with you.
Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
Images from Cheers or Peanuts would be Fan Myopia, they would work even less well than any JAFAAC image you could criticize.
Currently reading up My Rule Fu Is Stronger than YoursIt does make sense with the "SE"Xbox? in-pic caption alone, imo. I got it, anyway, without familiarity with Fox News beyond Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck clips.
Can't imagine a more clear, less fan myopic image being chosen.
However, I gather there's a backlash amongst some tropers against Fox News hate, amongst other right-wingers seen as Acceptable Targets. Could this image be seen as part of the liberal trend, whether it be real or imagined, on this site?
If so, then I'd recommend a change.
The picture is horrible. I'd heard about that debacle, and I still didn't connect it to the picture. It's still better than Just A Face And A Caption, but not much.

It took me a while to put 2 and 2 together regarding the image, but even so I don't think that she's the poster child for this trope, even with the fake Mass Effect controversy. That controversy is also about three years old now and only had a brief time in the media spotlight. Nobody talks about it anymore. Maybe an image of Cliff Clavin from Cheers would be better? He supplies the page quote, after all.
It can only be called fate. That here. I would again gather the three with the crests. That I should lay my hand on that which grants the wishes of the beholder. That when power, wisdom, and courage come together, the gods would have no choice but to come down.
