Most didn’t even have a cooking area due to fire hazards (and the fire-fighters were more like protection-money-collectors than anything else). Eating out was normal.
I hope the storerrooms had their own delivery entrances – who would want livestock in their living areas?
Thanks… Actually I knew the story from Grimm but not the translation.
I mean, IIRC the Grimm story was that she was given to a witch in trade for something from the witch’s garden, and named after it, but I didn’t know exactly what.
Meanwhile I was just (mis)using the story to make a pun on the “pun” in her name.
StelBel has done many, many basset movie posters, over the last eight years.
In the earliest ones, Cleo Clifford was often the star, until Cleo and Company productions grew big enough to attract big name Howlywood basset stars (not that Cleo isn’t also one of them.)
Stel did indeed illustrate this film… I believe her version was called “Jowls”.
Other movie parodies have been done by Nighthawks, sometimes with Stel’s collaboration, and run as a series of strips, sometimes over several weeks or even a couple of months.

Clicking the 4 short lines stacked under the sleeping Cleo in the logo at the top of the page will open a menu.
There are several of the continuing parodies in the “Cleo and Company Gallery”, while clicking “Stel’s Stuff” will take you to a sampling of several dozen of her posters… but by no means all.
…
I don’t think Jowls is there, though.
It ran in 2017, on Sherpa, which is defunct, so I can’t link you. If it has been rerun on this site, I don’t have the date.
I don’t usually do that anyway, nor do I post my saved copies, because Nighthawks and Stel prefer to choose when to post or possibly rerun their own work.
But just know that in posting movie parodies you have a fair chance of duplicating or competing with theirs.

Another near-sighted lover?

Deja vu…
cute names!
2 NOSES!

Looks like Porky Pig in pants.
The creature with the fork is, believe it or not, a goose.
Gandy Goose.

Harrison Cady was great… and should be better remembered today.
I’ve always like these. kinds of comics and did a few myself.
Cady was one of the best

Incredible makeup job. I think my dentist does that to me from time to time. Wish it would wear off. {^¿^}

Where’s the bathroom?
In the cubiculum… scap(h)ium
Ie chamber pot?
Exactly.
Right down the street… Just climb the stairs to the top of the aquaduct.
LOL
Actually some houses did have indoor plumbing, with water that ran underneath continuously…
Way ahead of its time.
Apparently a very very rich Roman person’s house.
A lot of Roman houses more closely resembled one of those “sleeping rooms”, with a bit of a cooking area attached that was almost a kitchen.
Most didn’t even have a cooking area due to fire hazards (and the fire-fighters were more like protection-money-collectors than anything else). Eating out was normal.

find the single sock

I don’t know why I can never resist a puzzle….
But here you go…
i guess i don’t have any patience today. i looked once and turned to your answer. thanks, susan!
Me too
They aren’t single, they’re “exploring alternate lifestyles”.
I guess that’s my excuse.
hah!
It wasn’t hard to find the odd one out.
I love the sippy bird.
So does the mallard, but apparently the geese are more suspicious.
Are those geese? Or ostriches?
The latter.
A fowl collection of Near Sighted Lovers today; but still worthy of love.
Kiss my … what??? Over and over???
It’s not for want of trying to kiss the other parts…
@SusanSunshine I’ve replied to your question regarding Rapunzel’s name on the page before this one.
Thanks… Actually I knew the story from Grimm but not the translation.
I mean, IIRC the Grimm story was that she was given to a witch in trade for something from the witch’s garden, and named after it, but I didn’t know exactly what.
Meanwhile I was just (mis)using the story to make a pun on the “pun” in her name.
Like most people, apparently, I like Arlo Guthrie’s version of “City of New Orleans”.
It became a hit, and brought its writer, the late Steve Goodman, a bit of money and recognition.
But I can’t help preferring Goodman’s own version.
He never achieved the fame he deserved.
I think he’s still in his mid 20s here:
I love Steve Goodman. Taken from us too early.
Cleo missed out on another lead!
Oh; she did that shot.
A heads up….

Noted, thank you.
Thanks.
NOSE!
NOSE!!
The picture you didn’t know you needed today
Adorable.
I always wonder whether they actually recognize the stuffed version of themselves, or just enjoy cuddling with the warm, comfy shape.
NOSE!
dinner for 2!
and dessert
Oh gosh.. my much earlier post about the lovers isn’t here…
It was one of the first comments I wrote tonight!
I wonder if I never actually hit “Post Comment.” Oops.
….
Anyway….Ms. Mallard loves the tall, stately duck, who politely bows to everyone.
Such old fashioned charm.
Besides, she never could resist a fellow in a nice hat.
(Remember that, in case you ever fall for a Mallard duck Lady.)
….
Meanwhile, the hen is totally impressed by the fine copper rooster, who sits proudly atop the barn.
King, surely, of all he surveys….
He gives everyone directions, and they appreciate it.
He’s a great leader.
Her heart follows his every move.
That mallard is male. No judgement there; but he should be careful with someone who can’t keep their bill away from or out of a glass…
That rooster – he constantly turns with the wind. And he may even be quite cranky.
for that matter –no judgement again– the thirsty duck with a hat could be female
That’s why I referred to them by – well – them.
The no-judgement-part applied to the drinking-issue. Might be diabetes.
nice, NH! i have still to see one i didn’t like!
