This looks so completely staged, it’s kind of creepy. So creepy, I’m betting it’s AI, even though it’s better done than most.

We all know it must be getting better, and that one day soon, we won’t know what’s real and what isn’t, so this is just probably another step along that path.

Besides the people artfully scattered about, unrealistically standing outside their vehicles…. you can’t see any car logos, there’s a weird sign that says “drivers”…

And look at the fellow just left of the center, that AI has put somehow leaning on the wrong car, because the perspective makes it look tall enough, when the one actually next to him is too low.

That’s the kind of thing I hope will always trip it up… a lack of.human judgement.

They are…
Gale Storm and Charles Farrell,

in a publicity shot

for…
“My Little Margie”.

I was a bit young for that one, but we always watched her next show, “Oh Susannah!”

It was set on a cruise ship, and had Zazu Pitts as her friend, a manicurist.

I remember this one.
Farrell played Vern Albright, Margie’s widowed father, but he pronounced her name “Maahh-jee.” And Willie Best did a Stepin Fetchit imitation as, I believe, the elevator operator in their apartment building.

They’re called red sprites, a TLE, or transient luminous effect, appearing after a storm in Oklahoma.

Red sprites are one of several types of TLEs that scientists are still trying to explain… I’d know more, but that’s when National Geographic told me to sign up or go away.

Meanies.

LOL…. I dunno whether the white poodle is the jealous “wife”, the jealous rival, or Mommy just trying to teach her pup some manners…

But what’s loud and clear is, “You get your tongue back in this basket right this minute!”

We loved the animated TV commercials…

That little boy always said “I want my Maypo!” in the cutest voice, that I tried to imitate for years.

Good eats if you cook it up with some olive oil or butter and garlic.

I hope that’s just a break in the edge, and not some teeny creature I can’t quite see.

The frustrations of image search.

We had this photo once before, quite a while ago.
I searched it, found out all about it, and posted the information.

I remember that she’s a model. I think it’s part of a fashion shoot, maybe for Vogue… but searching tonight, none of that comes up…. and I have no idea when I posted it before.

The only thing that I can find tonight is that the photographer was Gleeson Paulino, from Brazil.

Just what is it that’s stopping him?
I can’t tell what’s making the noises.

Whatever it is, even though it apparently worked, I really don’t think I’d just sit there in my car, waiting for him to try again.

I’m guessing that what appears to be its “eyes” are actually sensors of some kind (heat?) as the actual eyes are outside of the frame of the picture.

Yes, this is only the lower, central portion of its face, carefully cropped and lighted to make it look menacing.

Its eyes are big, flat, ovals, higher up and far to the sides.
And those orange “teeth” are actually little hairs called cetae.

I doubt that “nose” is a nose as we know it… but who “nose”?

Steve… Where are you?

Nighthawks, I hope you (and everybody else!) don’t mind my re-posting this…

You posted this puzzle, without the caption, about a week ago, maybe a bit less, on a day when we had a lot of trouble with WordPress, and I think the site was down part of the time.

I added “Find the Panda” … But by then it was kind of late, and it seemed like very few people actually came back and tried it.

It’s such a cute puzzle… So I wanted to give everybody another chance to Find the Panda!

I see it.

For those struggling:

No point in hiding her identity, she has it printed on the side of the bike trailer.
