Ray Milland and Paul Douglas… in a scene from the human version, as Nighthawks posted above.

Not using a spoiler box because I don’t expect anyone to guess. Apologies if I spoiled anybody’s fun.

I mean, I do know Ray Milland in some pictures, but this is different from his usual suave characters.

And it’s not as if they were as recognizable…

as…
Ray Millhound and Paulie Doglass

Lovely face… And his eyes look blue!

Maybe they’re green or hazel… Cos he’s young, but too old to still have puppy eyes.

A few of the singles look familiar, but I don’t have any names. The two couples bottom right look to me like they include

SPOILERS?
Julie Andrews and Glenn Close
but I have no idea who the men are. Husbands?

I never thought of them looking at all alike, but I guess they do, a bit.

As far as I can tell, this isn’t pairs of people, but the same people, older and younger.

I don’t recognize many, but I’m pretty sure the first two in the second row

are…
the young and older Angela Cartwright
… And the woman
at lower right…
Julie Andrews in both pictures.

Wait a minute! Julie Andrews… Angela Cartwright… boy in a Tyrolean hat… Yes!!

I think the bottom couple at bottom right

must be…
the stars, Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.

And I’m guessing ”

this is ….
A “then and now” picture of the cast of The Sound of Music!

“Now” not being recently, but some time in between the movie and today.

I can’t say I know the others by looks or name, but overall it looks right.

I wonder what it is that gives off jigsaw puzzle vibes.

Maybe I’ve seen it, or other puzzles with this person’s art… but I don’t really think so.

Maybe it’s just too “decorative” looking to be “fine art”?

All the even, bright colors, edge to edge, with no focal point or faded background?

It just doesn’t look like something you’d hang on the wall.

Nice of somebody to bring the kitties big mugs of warm…. um… whatever that is.

Looks like warm milk with kibble. 😁

Well of course.

Cats are so dainty.

Actually, I had a cat who could walk between tiny porcelain figures on a shelf without mishap and liked to drink her water from an old stemmed wineglass.

It only meant that when there was a broken glass on the floor she’d batted it there on purpose.

Google tells me it’s the Imam Reza shrine, in Mashhad, Iran.

Besides the remains contained in the shrine itself, the large grounds encompass a famous mosque, a library, a university, several seminaries, and a cemetery.

If he’s got any sense, he’s hiding from those foxes.

Weirdly drawn or maybe cut and pasted images of the same animal… A fox?… some overlapping so they’re hard to distinguish.

I did find one animal that doesn’t seem to be the same as the others… but honestly, “squirrel” is a stretch.

Is this …

our guy?

In 1948 a new Pontiac styling included triple Silver Streaks, a horizontal grille theme with vertical shaft, and round taillights. The word Silver Streak was carried on the sides of the hood with eights having an 8 placed between the two words.

Beautiful.

Long nose, unless it’s the angle… But maybe a straight 8.

Sigh… Now I gotta look.
Yup. Straight 8.

Those were so nice to work on. Lots of room to reach everything, but cars then needed more work. Drove me into designing stuff instead of fixing it, although I can still spin a ratchet in my advanced years. Taught me a lot about design for repair as well. Now, if I was designing people…. Maybe that’s why I never became a surgeon, either. 😉

This one is on my setlist. I usually lump it with “Mr. Bojangles” and “I Never Will Marry”.
Sort of an exercise in three-quarter time.
