Okay…. It seemed like, in my search, the results were saying this yellow lab was appointed to nurse some orphaned tiger cubs… The dog and the tigers are real.
But… none of what I found was in English, and there was a film about it…
And so far I haven’t figured out whether it was a documentary or fictional.
I think it’s more that she’s out in the middle of a big, cold, shiny floor, with people walking and standing all around… probably talking, and staring at her
Dogs want to nurse hidden from strangers, in a soft, protective den, where they think the puppies are safe.
I’ve seen it a dozen times, but i have only had one chance to watch the whole ting from beginning to end. My client watched it every chance he could. That was a lot in ten years.
Ooh… I used to have a poster from this movie on my wall… Waaaay back when samurai and dinosaurs roamed the earth
This is …
Legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, in Akira Kurosawa’s 1961 “Yojimbo”
A great movie….
also famous because….
It’s the original Japanese version of what Sergio Leone copied, and turned into a Western: “A Fistful of Dollars”, with the unknown Clint Eastwood in Mifune’s role.
Cheaply filming it in Italy, with a cast who all spoke different languages, and couldn’t talk to each other…. that was the birth of the “spaghetti Western.”
The first thing I came up with was a helicopter shaped shadow. The it slowly dawned on me that the shadow wasn’t of a helicopter, but it was ON the helicopter…
The art work is incredible. The way the changes blend so seamlessly with the original makes it impossible to tell if something was add or removed. When creating these puzzles: Are all the changes made in the second panel, or are some of the changes made in each?
I’m out of practice; one change I missed was to a feature I neglected to look at all.
I’m not sure whether I’m supposed to say… but I guess it doesn’t matter.
The New Yorker cover puzzles were all, or maybe almost all, done by StelBel. She only changed the righthand panel, with a very few exceptions, if something was much easier to do on the left.
Remember… they can be changes of various types, including additions or omissions. For those to look balanced, sometimes one needs to be on the left.
AFAIK all the Cleo cartoon puzzles, and most of the others, are done by Nighthawks, who makes changes to both sides in the same puzzle.
I used to make a game of it for myself, trying to decide which bit was original… But I can’t always tell, which amused Stel… so she told me about changing the right side.
The attachment is a news item I found.
The below is just becauseā¦.. I was born in Flin Flon (city named after Josiah Flintbbatey Flonatin the protagonist of “The Sunless City” by J.E. Preston-Muddock.
Quoting from the city’s website:
“How the peculiar name “Flin Flon” came to be is where fiction begins to outweigh fact. The unique name Flin Flon came from a fictitious character in a dime-store paperback novel entitled “The Sunless City” by J.E. Preston-Muddock.
A copy of this book was found on the trail by pioneer prospector Tom Creighton and his party prior to the discovery of the original ore body in the Flin Flon area.
The book told of how Josiah Flintbbatey Flonatin, a grocer turned explorer, journeyed in a submarine of his own design down a subterranean river which flowed from the bottom of Lake Avernus in the Rocky Mountains and into the centre of the earth in search of the unknown.
Flintabbatey’s journey took him through the Petrified Forest, the Hall of Jewels and the Sea of Earthquakes before he landed in the Valley of Gold where he discovered a new civilization of central earth inhabitants. Exactly how the bottom of a bottomless lake was reached is beyond explanation.
This story impressed and reminded the Creighton party of how the lake near the mineral discovery appeared bottomless that when it came time to record the name of the new orebody, the nickname of the hero in the novel came to mind.
A more factual account was related to the year 1929 when the C.N.R. was requesting a list of place names for sites along the rail line leading north out of The Pas. The diary of Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co, Limited’s radio operator notes the following, “They say they will call it Flin Flon if they don’t hear from us.”
Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting never responded to the C.N.R. request and as a result, The City of Flin Flon remains the only city in the world to be named after a science-fiction character.
The statue of Josiah Flintabbatey Flonatin, which stands at the Tourist Park and Campground at the entrance to the City of Flin Flon, was designed by the late Al Capp, a renowned cartoonist, and creator of the comic strip ‘Lil Abner.”
in case you may have missed it,
Our precious Candi Girouard, known to all here as Stelbel, passed
away last night in the nursing home she had been confined to for the last two years.
I still have no words.
That is so sad. At least she’s done with all the suffering. I will miss her a lot.
I grieve for all of you who knew her, and am sad that I couldn’t have shared knowing her as you did. Deepest sympathy.
I will shed a tear or two for Stel Bel.
I’m so sorry. She was a genuine treasure.
I’m so sorry to see this.
Tigressy told us at Ballard Street. It’s hard to believe she’s gone. I loved her, used to email her.
.
I’ll bet they bought the cover just to go with the dog. Any owner with fashion sense would.
,
I want to see the father!
You see, he was a black cat, with some recessive tabby genes, and she’s a yellow lab… so when they have babies… Pigs will fly.
Okay…. It seemed like, in my search, the results were saying this yellow lab was appointed to nurse some orphaned tiger cubs… The dog and the tigers are real.
But… none of what I found was in English, and there was a film about it…

“Appointed” seems right; the poor dog looks very unhappy about it.

One of the best movies ever made, IMHO… but apparently shooting was scrambled, and the actors all thought it would bomb.
I’ve seen it a dozen times, but i have only had one chance to watch the whole ting from beginning to end. My client watched it every chance he could. That was a lot in ten years.
Serves him right!

The only guy who looked manly in a man bun.
,.
The picture is too fuzzy… But I found it…
Because…
You can clearly see its wheels.
Really?
BTW it’s an attack helicopter, not a transport (if that helps anyone).
Well… I couldn’t find it by that cos I have no idea what one of those things looks like.
But I have no problem seeing the other thing.š
Every time i look away i loose it.
Me too.
But I can quickly find it again, the way I said in my spoiler.
If it helps, the type is a Eurocopter EC665 Tiger.
Yup.
That’s what I see.
I was confused by what looks like a wing, cos it’s a helicopter…. but I see that there is one in this photo.
Obviously I’m no aviation expert.
That was weird…
Thanks very much. I had given up until I read your hint! I’m terrible at finding these things.
I believe that it’s from the rocket shoot episode.
I bet the roadrunner wins…
You should put that in a [spoiler] box.
The correct thing to do is to “burn rubber.”
A… yeah.. a giant electrical fire overhead, attached to thin poles…
Not gonna sit around looking at the handbook or even googling it on my phone.
Don’t drive under it.

.,.
I know the episode. It scared the crap out of a very young me.
Actually…..
In fact…. a very well known episode.
This is Susan Cummings and Richard Kiel, in “To Serve Man.”
Here’s the episode.
Wait for the countdown timer to finish and go from there.

Oooh! Bubbles!
Don’t pop any of those bubbles, please!
Called mammatus clouds… Supposedly they’re real.
Supposedly.
I’ve seen them. They are real.
I think the guy needs some recognition too!
The guy is no slouch either. That is some serious strength.
As someone who could never carry things on his shoulder without padding, I’ve gotta say; OUCH!
Seriously though, that is some serious skill and balance from both parties.
Just a tad less graceful than mom.
Practice makes perfect…
š
Oh… I guess it’s time to post the solution, as well.
A New York City pet walker has to be ready for anything.
Hey, city dwellers who live in $1,400 a month 240 sq.ft apartments need pets too.
I wonder if she charges as much to walk a goldfish in a bag as a mouse on a leash.
Surely it’s more for a horse. And does she get hazard pay for a crocodile? A porcupine?
Anyway…. Remember it’s TEN differences.
And you didn’t hear it from me, but one is tiny.
It’s definitely there, no question…. just small.
When you’re ready to compare…
Got ’em!
Bingo!
I don’t see a porcupine. A cute little hedge hog is there.

The ātinyā one?
No, thatās an incey-wincy tiny-wieny difference…!
FIVE???
I dunno… five??
You have my permission to find five more. š
OK, took me until now, but I found them all. I found the tiny one on the first look through but missed the one on the animal below that.
I normally give up long before this, but the artwork is worth looking at it for longer than a couple of quick glances.
I think I’ve got all ten. We’ll see.
Excelsior!
I’ll have to see what i can find on my phone tomorrow.
Everything is fuzzy tonight.
TCM541, here’s a pretty good answer to your rodeo cowboy question:
.
Before Ollie.
They’d acted together, and Stan may have directed him…. but they weren’t friends or a team yet.
His dapper period…
StelBel”s passing.
What a thing to have to get caught up on.
Nothing more to say.
