The cover art for a book titled “Half-Minute Horrors” edited by Susan Rich (the cover is a link to the “goodreads” site page).
Despite the copyright notice, the artists’ signatures do not match those names.
I suspect, since this is a studio work, the artist is like a construction crew carpenter, he/she does the work, but doesn’t own the building. (I tried to edit a couple of mistakes, and lost the link / I’ll have to find out how to do that without losing the link)
I haven’t tested it with a straight edge, but I think the lines are straight, and the only difference between the two is the placement of the black and white crosses.
She’s pretty much an adult in the young picture and I don’t think she’s more than 10 or 20 years older in the 2nd, recognizable, one, but she looks quite different.
Still, there’s something in her eyes and mouth, an expression on her face… I just recognized.
Today’s Songs:
‘Keep Your Hands to Yourself,’ ‘Kentucky Rain,’ ‘Killer Queen,’ and ‘Kind of A Drag,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘ Asian-Style Broccolini.’
‘Keep Your Hands to Yourself’ is actually quite amusing (I’ve put a link to the lyrics below).
If you’re depressed rain doesn’t help.
If you can make sense out of ‘dynamite with a laser beam’….
Originally from ‘Time and Charges’ (do telephone operators still exist?).
I know you’ll be excited to hear that tomorrow we start on asparagus! !
“If you can make sense out of ‘dynamite with a laser beam’….”
It’s an explosive combination, a bit like her, “Guaranteed to blow your mind” (Next lyric)

Somehow, between panels 1 and 2, Claude managed to rewind himself, pass the disc from left to right hand, but still throw it with a left-handed spin. I didn’t know he was so agile and well-coordinated.
ARRRGGH! I’ve made one mistake after another. on this one…..what I meant to do was reverse the FIRST panel , and Claude is back to being a right hander.
I think it’s fixed now
Meanwhile I got some good news around that time, as well….

Her husband is still recovering well. His doctors are very pleased.
There are health care workers coming and going, and he can do some things for himself, now, but it still leaves a lot to her, and she’s very tired.
She’s doing the cooking, which he used to do, and a lot of cleaning, and now they’re going to move, getting a house together with her daughter, which means even more work, until they’re settled… though it will be a help at that point.
So she doesn’t make it to the comics much, but aside from exhaustion she’s well.
“Air frying;” just another way of saying “roasting.”

As much as I like Carly Simon, it’s hard to listen to
“Nobody Does It Better” nowadays.
It’s been used in too many commercials.
I think it may even have been Carly’s voice, years ago, singing it about hair conditioner…
And for a long time it was the theme song in long commercials for Safeway supermarkets. I don’t know whether they also used it in places where Safeway is called Vons.

At around the 2 minute mark of “Against the Wind”, Bob Seger sings that he’s running 8 miles a minute.
I remember thinking “did i hear that?” on the radio, but these here new-fangled videos mean you can actually repeat bits and check.
Wow! 480 miles an hour!
He probably means 8 miles an hour … but minute might mean more alliteration…. Maybe?
.
Posing as if he knows how handsome he is.
As a matter of fact, I’m sure he does.
beautful, rich colors!

Let me guess: The bird’s name is Pearl.
Looks like Sine (the bird from “Dark Side of the Horse”) to me.
It does! 😀

How did that one kid manage to avoid the body snatchers?
I was wondering that too.
Then again, we don’t know for sure cos his mouth isn’t open.
The whole thing is too creepy for me.

Okay, I found it.
I have to use the same editing process I use to get more than three links into a comment.
I haven’t tested it with a straight edge, but I think the lines are straight, and the only difference between the two is the placement of the black and white crosses.
I took both vertical and horizontal screen snips of one set of blocks; despite appearances, Susan is correct, they are not warped.
Makes me seasick looking at it.
I am surprised. I got it.
I got it, and I’m also surprised.
She’s pretty much an adult in the young picture and I don’t think she’s more than 10 or 20 years older in the 2nd, recognizable, one, but she looks quite different.
Still, there’s something in her eyes and mouth, an expression on her face… I just recognized.
Once again, I’ll show up later with her name.
I finally recognize a celebrity shot (not the young picture). My brother had her poster up for years.
Well, it’s finally sort of happened.
I missed the girl, but got the woman.
I’m still 100%.
Wrong.
If you still don’t know who she is… sorry I was late posting her name.
Sorry, in case anybody still wants it…
I forgot to post her name.
Her picture as an adult was everywhere in the 70s and 80s.
This not the celebrity pictured above.
Really, that wasn’t very nice of you, showing this photo immediately after hers.
Well, I hadn’t thought about the juxtaposition or any sort of comparison…
But now that you mention it, right…..
How could a human movie star possibly compete?!
One of those pup star divas.
never been accused of being too nice
hahahaha!
NOSE!

I didn’t find a title (and, frankly, I didn’t look that hard / caricature art is very “off and on” with me / this one’s off).

Not only cartoon physics, but … um… athletic license?
oops!–I meant to reverse that second panel
But then Cleo would be shooting the wrong way.
ARRRGGH! I’ve made one mistake after another. on this one…..what I meant to do was reverse the FIRST panel , and Claude is back to being a right hander.
I think it’s fixed now
good catch!…..I fixed it, as I told Alex , by simply reversing the first panel so that Claude is a right hander in both panels
I’ve visited this page three times today, and seen a different version each time……!
thanks for stopping in!
Cleo obeys the letter of the law, as they say, but not the spirit.
Unless it suits her to do it the other way.
Whichever interpretation involves firepower always works for her.
….
Meanwhile, Cleo, it’s not sporting to just leave a wounded Frisbee lying in the field.
You’re supposed to fetch it, so it can be either treated, or put out of its misery.
And get some first aid for the house, stat!
I fell asleep last night and kinda fell down on the job, here at Cleo.
Maybe too much partying the night before?
Thanks everybody for coming, and Bambushie, I hope you had a good time. I answered you on yesterday at the end, but it was this afternoon.
Meanwhile I got some good news around that time, as well….

Yay!
Thanks for the update, it’s a good way to start the work day.
i, too, am glad to hear from perky!
Glad to hear it! Hang in there, Perky!
I get it!
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say “Give her my (& everyone else’s) best.

Good stuff. You can’t have too much lemon on your scallops.

It’s in the lyrics as “eight miles a minute” so your final surmise is probably correct.
Ive always believed that to be what’s going through his head/life.
This is New York City
NOSE!
Several… even if they ARE duplicates
