The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

A visual joke: a blank image is shown (sometimes with a single dot visible). There actually is something there, but it turns out it's completely white, and thus seems invisible.
- Arthur: In the intro to "The Blizzard", a white image has two eyes and a nose visible. Arthur asks the viewers to guess what it is, then reveals that it's "a polar bear eating a marshmallow in a snowstorm."
- Calvin and Hobbes: The title panel for one Sunday comic has a blank background with a single black nose visible. Calvin tells Hobbes that it's "a polar bear blinking in a blizzard." Hobbes isn't amused.
- Paper Mario: The Origami King: If Mario interacts with a blank frame in the museum, the curator tells him not to confuse it with their "White Rabbits in Snowfall" collection.
