Article	Mark Slackmeyer
Portion used	See above. This is the entire thumbnail. It is a small part of Trudeau's work.
Low resolution?	This small image is the same size as the web-published original.
Purpose of use	This is an image of the comic strip character who is the subject of the article. It is the primary means of visual identification of the subject. The image is necessary for understanding the article.
Replaceable?	Since the article subject is an artwork, the article cannot be illustrated without using an image made by the creator of that work. Thus, the image is not replaceable with a free image.
