I like the way the bird looks away while still grabbing the cat’s tail. Can’t fool the cat!

If the currency is anything to go by, this was shot in Taiwan.

Frank Owen of New York reads a descriptive plaque on his friend’s sculpture in Newport Beach. “Bad Dog,” by artist Richard Jackson, is a temporary sculpture installed at the Orange County Museum of Art. The 28-foot-high puppy has his leg lifted on the side of the museum and is rigged to spray yellow paint on the side of the building. “Bad Dog” is part of the “Richard Jackson: Ain’t Painting a Pain” exhibition, the first retrospective devoted to the 74-year-old artist. “Bad Dog” was created especially for the exhibit.
 
The above caption belongs to a photograph in the Orange County Register (link below) .      LINK TO ORANGE COOUNTY REGISTER     The sculpture is not (was not?) a permanent installation.

Off to the lower right, is that a related sculpture?

It looks too big to be what I thought it was when I first saw it.

I remember having those as a kid. It’s interesting that something so cheap (the cap pistol) had a mechanism that advanced the roll one cap at a time each time the trigger was pressed.

Mine usually detonated the caps as the lever advanced them. Still, it worked well enough to leave me wondering what “single action” and “double action” meant IRL…

I also had very strict parents, yet we girls did have cap pistols.

In fact my big Hopalong Cassidy one was a treasured possession…

With no knowledge of real guns, I slept with it under my pillow for “protection” from about 8 to 11, when my father took it away.

Oddly enough, I grew up into someone who doesn’t like guns, and wouldn’t buy a toy gun for a child…

And my father, a strict disciplinarian Air Force officer, Goldwater Republican WWII veteran, who bought us cap guns, told me in the 1980’s that he hated real weapons, and had always supported gun control.

I had cap pistols as a kid. I remember my grandmother using them to try and scare the birds out of the fig bushes we had at the time.

Good evening, Cleopuzzlers….

Tonight’s … Well, ok, today’s… subject worries me.

I’ve always been a lover of paper.. All kinds. Writing paper, drawing paper, construction, crepe, and computer paper.

And of pens and pencils and markers… Glitter and glue..

I own more cards than I’ll ever send, especially now that I usually communicate by email, text, and comics comments.

Well, I just know that most of the paper in my house is not legal size.

I never even thought about it.

Who knew you could get arrested?

What to do, what to do?

….

I’ll tell you what… I don’t have a solution to that dilemma…

But I can offer you a solution to tonight’s… Er … today’s puzzle.

(So hard to remember most of you will see it Saturday morning. Still dinnertime Friday right now on the west coast.)

Anyway…

If you’ve tried hard, you can go ahead and check your solution against mine…

just CLICK HERE!

In trade, if you know of a solution to the problem of illegal paper, let me know, please.

Meanwhile I’ll let it hide out in the… Oh… never mind.

I can’t tell you, cos I don’t know where you stand on illegal paper.

(Um… no, not at the illegal paper stand.)

Not happy with myself. Missed an obvious one, and thought there was a difference where there wasn’t one.

I got all but one also. I looked at it, but dismissed it. Too tired I guess.
As far as the illegal paper, if the Paper Police knock on your door, you can always burn it – it burns fast. Oh, and I usually don’t stand on it. I might try it when I need a new experience, though.
Thanks for the solution and the laughs!!

Would you stand on legal paper?

Cos, you know, it feels really similar, and there’s no threat of discovery.

I’ve noticed that cats will sleep on either.

They don’t seem to care about the legality, but my cat did prefer paper that I was currently reading or writing on, or at least needed in some immediate way.

That’s a cat for you. They always want to be involved in what you are doing, even if it is sleeping on it.

I think I found another
The sewer line cover is definitely closer to the sidewalk in the right panel. That was my #9.

Mine too.

Time for Nighthawks to change the title again.

Um…yeah…
You know, I thought that was a difference, then I enlarged the puzzle, and it didn’t look like one…

and I found nine others, so I thought “nah.”

I got the puzzle a bit later than usual this week, on a busy day, so I was kind of hurrying…

but I really should have taken time to measure.

Oh, say… Nighthawks… ♪ … a word?

Don’t worry – the possession isn’t illegal. Not even giving it to anyone as long as you don’t sell it.

But … but what if I sell something printed on it?

Like a greeting card…

am I safe as long as they don’t recover the paper for another use?

A legal disclaimer should fix that…
“The paper is free, anything additional isn’t.”

Yes, per Mr. Sherman, there’s a change (pictured)

How can you get difficultness credit if they were “real easy?”

Now, if you’d said they were terribly hard… microscopicly tiny, unfairly hidden… Then yeah, maybe.

Maybe you could score it like figure skating? More points for the hard maneuvers than the “easy” ones?

so, are we looking for nine or ten?

SusanSunshine

Reply to  bambushie

Well, Mr. Sherman found a tenth, and Nighthawks changed the puzzle to say “Ten”

So I’d say ten.

That last one IS hard to see, so IMHO, if you don’t find it, but you find the other nine, you’re doing as well as originally expected.

If you DO find that one, you still need to have found all nine of the others.

And of course, you won’t know which one I mean till you’ve done your best…..

then compared with my solution, then read Mr. Sherman’s spoiler comment…

So you may as well try hard to find ten.

well, I found nine including Mr. Sherman’s first one, but missed a rather obvious one, oh well, this was a tough one!

From yesterday.
Thanks for that “Last Week Tonight” episode.
Ticketmaster may be legal, but if that’s all one can say about a company, there’s not much there.
As the New York State attorney general was mentioned several times, I went looking for an outcome.
There’s a short article at the link below.

Once again, I’m posting the link to StelBel’s recipe page. The reason?
The now sadly departed —comment image x_Tech, posted a recipe for Sweet Bacon Cheesecake and/or Cupcake directly to the page. It sounded good when I first read it, and today’s my reason to make it, although it won’t be until Monday with a report on Tuesday.
