Wow…. for such small monkeys, they carry a lot of names…
According to Wikipedia, this is a “red-tailed monkey (Cercopithecus ascanius), also known as the black-cheeked white-nosed monkey, red-tailed guenon, redtail monkey, or Schmidt’s guenon.”
Another site called it Schmidt’s red-tailed monkey.
So the names incorporate red, black, and white….. but I saw no mention of green or blue or teal… nor any other pictures that showed this coloration. I have to think it was either accidental, or something the photographer added.
That’s a very pensive look on mama’s face. As if worrying for the future, for the world her baby will inherit.
Of course, she could also just be thinking about eating some bugs and fruit later.
He had just signed a major record contract, and it was the beginning of his being surrounded by masses of adoring teenage girls.
In 1943…. that was a new phenomenon, teenagers were just starting to be thought of as teenagers and had disposable income… and it was safe for him to sit so close.
By the time it happened again, to Elvis, about 10 years later, the crowds were getting unruly…. And 10 years after that, the Beatles needed police protection.
A link to a site called CLIFF HOUSE PROJECT. It has numerous photographs of the fire, and pictures of the apparently front pages of newspapers of the day chronicling the fire (there were no deaths recorded).
A couple of observations: At least the engineer was following the traffic signs.
Is that a funeral home on the second floor of the building on the corner? I hope that did not turn out to be handy.
Am I missing something, or are all the windows above the second floor of that same building broken and/or missing?
According to sources, that was worth about $3420 in today’s money. I wonder if the archer ever missed, and what a hospital stay would have cost if he did?
I just had to find out more… like whether anyone was injured…
But I don’t think so….
Wikipedia says…”All the arrows in the film were shot by professional archer Howard Hill. Those actors shot with arrows wore clothing padded with balsa wood on protective metal plates that prevented injury, though impact was fairly painful and the arrows lodged into the balsa wood to create the illusion of bodily penetration.”
Yikes… I’m thinking the pain was one reason for the hazard pay, though there’s something unfair about offering people who need it some extra money to be hurt.
….
As for Howard Hill… turns out he was a famous archer, billed as the greatest in the world, who consulted, acted and performed archery stunts and tricks in a great many films. He taught archery, wrote books and made documentaries about it, and won many prizes and tournaments.
In fact he set a record by winning 196 field archery competitions in a row. So the extras were probably pretty safe.
He also successfully performed the stunt in the movie where Robin
splits another man’s arrow by shooting one of his own into it. But the producers decided the reality didn’t look dramatic enough, so they didn’t use the actual footage, but replaced it with camera trickery.
I was getting a little distracted… but then again, it gives you time to find all TEN differences before being tempted to peek.
Or take a little tour of New York City, with our somewhat strangely anthropomorphic little group of animals and birds. Actually… I think some are hybrid human creatures.
Maybe I shouldn’t think too much about it. Before I start getting creeped out over the sort of differences I don’t really want to know about..
Let me share the ones I found between the two panels!
.
Am I blue?…
“Why am I blue?”
Aren’t these tears in my eyes tellin’ you?

They do, however, actually have red tails!

It takes a good actor to not get annoyed by that.
Especially on the sixth take…
…

Is that Killer?
Oops. No, it’s not.
Boy was i wrong!
Who is Killer?
Jerry Lee Louis.
Oh! I forgot about that nickname.
Yeah… Just a little off… Lol
Jerry Lee Lewis was a little kid in 1943.
I think of him as sort of blond.
Weird guy.
Married 7 times… Here he is at 22 with wife #3… his 13 year old first cousin:
I was thinking Tony (Norman Bates) Perkins! Also a bit off…
,
Looks like what they call “mean streets”.
Luxury apartment for rent…
….
Her: “Hey, you got a little something stuck in that tooth right there”.
Him: “I was saving it for later”
FUNNY!
.,
Where can I get one of those?
I want the thingy that turns on the animation.
Very fun animation.
.,,
Fluffy and his coat of many colors
Mane Coon or Norwegian Forest cat?
I would say NFC, mainly due to the long snout, but I’m probably wrong.
KeyKat needs a hug.
.,.
That is a very striking photograph. We’ve seen it here previously. Sad event. I hope no one died.
I’d say everyone in this photo died
Boo…hiss…
By now, certainly.
The first time it burned down.

Is that really a Teddy Moose?
Well, it doesn’t seem to be a Nonny-moose.
🙄
Boo! 😀

“Any landing you walk away from…”
Don’t think anyone walked away from that one.

Wow, did I ever misread this photo. I thought it was another train station overshoot, similar to the one we saw yesterday.
I thought it was a train, too
Was tat Scotland?
It was part of a 1960 New York mid-air collision. Wikipedia has the story here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_New_York_mid-air_collision
Thought it was Lockerbie.
Lockerbie was a Pan Am 747.
..
Bet this one doesn’t need a spoiler!
Nope. It was my clients favorite. I watched it every time it came on Turner Classics.
IMHO, one of the best movies ever made!
But since I realize I have no standing as a film critic, I will amend that to “one of my all-time favorite movies!”
Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Mary Astor, and Sidney Green Street, staring at “the stuff dreams are made of”.
Time for a certain gum-paw.
..,
It must be Bert and Mary Poppins.
Or Mewsette and Jaune-Tom…
Or Thomas O’Malley and Duchess.
,,..
Cute…
What a charming tradition.
Just for saying something that they didn’t like.

Yesterday i saw a car that looked a lot like this.
Bottom right corner 2nd from the bottom.
The passenger rode in the front.
Now this one worked for me today. Weird.
Is anybody waiting for the puzzle solution?

Yes!!!
Nine, I’ll try again later before I look at the solution.
I’m wondering why Trader Horn (Carry On) is in New Yack when he’s supposed to be in Rackenroon for the festivities….
I haven’t got that far yet.
Still buried in the archives.
I was referring to the Unicorn in today’s ‘spot the difference’, not what’s going on in the strip 😉
Very cagey. I think I have all ten. We’ll see.
Success!
