Amazing to me, seeing artifacts of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest, and some from the US Southwest…
that they passed down their creation history and made treasured artifacts involving a great raven or other bird that looked so much like this tropical one from Brazil.
…
That Haida or Tlingit (they share much of the same territory) carved wooden ceremonial hat that we saw the other day, which I thought was a mask, looks more like this bird than a north American raven.

P.S. I’ve got the Seattle / Denver game up online; what’s with Seattle’s uniforms? They’re either a green/yellow, or a yellow/green but they’re almost fluorescent without the use of a black light.

You can see from the poster how he gets away with it. They look nothing alike.
Ahhh… today we have a different,andnot to be forgotten, Perro™!….
in a beautiful poster from StelBel… (with possibly a little help from Nighthawks, according to the signatures.)
…
And a swashbuckling Perro™ it is, indeed.
Tybone Howler’s swash is very firmly buckled… and he’s very handsome, to boot.
My mother, in fact, more than once called him the handsomest dog in Howlywood.
I didn’t share her opinion… but he was rather at the top of his game in this film.
He was tall and slim, for a basset… and undeniably elegant, whether foppishly so, as Don Doggo, or sleekly clad in black, and suavely cool, in the title role.
…
He was a different sort of Perro from Guy Willyboy, the television lead actor…. who later played the role with a touch of disarming humor…
Tybone Howler was serious, with more of a dangerous air.
…
And Basil Meatbone, the villainous sheriff… he was also tall and elegant… but seldom a romantic lead.
With his long nose, high cheekbones, and Shakespearean elocution, he was Howlywood’s idea of the perfect villain.
He was usually cast as such…. that is, until he later found fame playing Sherlock Bones… a perfect match for his looks and his serious, lofty intelligence.
…..
Then there’s Linda Arfnell… a mere puppy when her stage mother pushed her into acting… even sent her to live all alone in Howlywood….
far too young for her glamorous looks, or for her role in this and her even earlier films.
Cast for her beauty, remembered as sweet and innocent, when she first arrived on the scene…. and still, at the time of making this movie.
Sadly, she lost roles, after this, because she reportedly refused the well known “casting kennel” with famous directors…
then mated young, several times, and had a rather short, hard life in Howlywood.

“CHINESE PEANUT CANDY”
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar syrup (or light corn syrup)**
1 cup peanuts
1/2 pound puffed rice
1/4 cup sesame seeds, dried in a warm oven 5 minutes
Butter for pan
Cook sugar and syrup together till a little dropped into
a cup of cold water forms a hard ball. Spread the pea-
nuts, puffed rice, and half the sesame seeds in a but-
tered pan. Pour the syrup over; sprinkle remaining ses-
ame seeds on top; let cool. Break in pieces. Makes
about 1 pound.
Notes from me:
** Use light corn syrup. Sugar syrup isn’t difficult to make, but it’s time consuming.
The recipe doesn’t specify, but I’d use unsalted cooked peanuts.
260° F. on a candy thermometer is “hard-ball” temperature.
I remembered nothing about this except that we watched it as a family (it isn’t Disney, but had you asked me before today, I’d have said it was / that’s how little I remembered about it).
The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh was a series shown on Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color in 1964. I remembered that Patrick McGoohan starred in it, so I looked up his television appearances on Wikipedia, and there it was.
So, Alexi, it was Disney.
Now, I have a hankering to watch it again, all these many years later….
Thanks, it’s nice to know my memory isn’t inaccurate.
If you still have your hankering, open this LINK. It’s even kept Walt Disney doing his usual introduction.
As usual click through the clutter and go full screen (unless, of course you have your own copy / then you don’t need to …. duh, obviously).

That bird is gorgeous. It looks like it would make a great cartoon character.
look at that jagged beak!!!
A beak like that, and they name him for his ears??

Probably coincidence, but still…. One wonders.
The climate changes constantly.

Bizarre.
From the incongruous “circus” setting, to the costumes, to the masked dancer.
Wow.
I wonder if Zorro sometimes gets lost in space.
he could be that kind of Guy
Or George.
