Are there another 93 pups in that row?
Eight of ’em! Boy, they’ve grown a lot.ο»Ώ

Is somebody supposed to be driving that Merc?
It’s hard to notice, but there’s a black gloved hand on the steering wheel. There’s also someone sitting in the passenger seat.
I think they have black masks on.

Something’s not right here. That top ladybug has too many legs and somebody else’s head!
Could one be on top of another?
You remember that poster too? I don’t think so, and the head looks more like the head of a wasp…
The lowest one isn’t quite as bad, but it has extra legs too.
Those are maxilliary palps (mouthparts) so that’s okay…
I hope not, they’re eating with their anuses if those are mouth parts. There’s the mouth, three legs, then further back, another leg. It looks a bit like a shadow, but if you look close, there’s a leg there.
…and why would they hang out on ripe grain at all – no food for them there. Unless – you know – mutants.
Or if there was a convenient crop of aphids to harvest…
Those aren’t lady bugs.
I think you’re right. They’re all weird. The middle one’s pronotum (neck armour) is all wrong too. Three made-up not-ladybugs…
On dry ripe grain? – Not likely.

Why does this make me think of Otis Redding?
I think of Winnie the Pooh… “oh bother” {sigh}

see the moth?
Yup.
Yes.
It’s called a buff-tip moth.
If you can’t see it, it’s not because it’s hiding.
Yup!
A famous local restaurant had a statue like that in the ladies’ room. The statue had a fig leaf and if you moved it a siren went off!

Q: Are we counting the readership?
you’re right.
me too
Who knew that playboys went around with accordions?
Stuck on eight (X-1). SOP
And Blackjack is back again!
That’s rather puzzling.
But I have a solution to this dilemma.
See whether you can find nine differences between the two panels…
And when you’re ready….
Compare with what I found….
I found eight. I’ve been working all day. I try again tomorrow before giving in.
Missed my #9.
Yes!
Seven π I think it’s the same score as last time this one ran.
