Go to the art store… or if you want it really cheap, Walmart.
Get a nice sheet of shiny black poster board.
Go to wherever you buy such things and get a bottle of Elmer’s glue, and one of nonpareils… the little round sprinkles you put on sugar cookies.
If you go to Michael’s crafts, they’ll have all three. And a frame! Probably Walmart too.
….
Spread a nice layer of glue on the cardboard, give it a moment to get tacky (yes, the whole thing will end up tacky but that’s another story.)
Working quickly, cover the cardboard with a generous coating of nonpareils . Be sure to keep them in a single layer, and fill in any bare spots before the glue dries.
Let it dry for a day or two, then frame it if you like.
…
Maybe 10-12 bucks, if you pick a cheap frame.
You could also blow another $5 or so on some sort of acrylic spray, to preserve it and make it shiny.
What the heck… go for it! You’re saving so much.
But if that’s too expensive, you could even do a $5 version, but smaller, by shopping for everything at Dollar Tree.
Hey… I just saved you at least $19,982. And this version has texture.
You’re welcome!
Margot Robbie, in a scene from the 2018 thriller “Terminal.”
If I ever went to the movies I might have recognized her as the star of “Barbie”, in 2023.
According to Forbes she was the highest paid actress in the world that year
I wonder what percentage it misses.
Maybe the harvest is continuous for a while, so it gets them a few days later, on the next pass.

Still unable to get signed into GC. I request a code, which they might send a day later, by which time it has expired. They did email my comics lineup on April 1, but have not done so since. And I’ve been a paying customer for years. This level of incompetence should be a death sentence for any business. It’s not rocket science.
Does anyone know how to “restore” (ie. buy a new one) membership with a Canadian postal code? They tell me I’m using the “wrong format” but won’t tell me what the “right” one is! Caps, lower case, spaces, no spaces, doesn’t make any difference!
I’m confused.
Can you say why you need a new membership instead of the one you’ve had all this time?
Asking only because it might help me figure out what’s going awry.
And where do you need a postal code in the process?
All I ever gave them, IIRC, is my email address.
And a debit card cos I’m a sap who pays for that mess… But I didn’t think free members needed that.
I like the paid format better, and up to now I’ve been grandfathered in at $15 a year. They said my upcoming renewal would be $19, but I’m not sure I’ll ever want to pay $32.
BIRD!
We have some here. They are called “Buntspecht” in German.

Funny I just looked up the same article.
Could’ve saved a few minutes had I refreshed.
Did I ever mention the “bird” I created for the ornithology course? The Western Dabbling Gull-footed Thrushpecker? Should have kept a picture of it!
Sing it!
Deutsche Post (German Mail)?

I’ll take six!
If i wanted to own pointillism i’d get a Monet.
At least Monet had a point. This is pointlessism…

Yuck!
But, Wow!
Agreed on both.
Norman Rockwell… His people are immistakeable.
This is a Saturday Evening Post cover… April 23rd, 1949.
:’O(
Some people got all the way there 🥺

I wonder if the bullets run backwards…
I’m thinking this isn’t a Mickey Mouse operation
Not my Buddy. He keeps staring.
That’s young Mr. Spock in the middle…
I know Jane was born in the late 1930s, and Peter a few years later, so I’m going to guess it’s about 1960 here.
Ok, you’re right, being me, that won’t do … I have to find out…. sigh …
According to my friend Mr. Google it’s actually 1962.
Jane and Peter are young adults, not teenagers.
I got the one on top, not the other two.
I can brely see the ducks!
Got. On about my 3rd pass.
Chicken? If you say so…
But at least…
Now someone please tell ME why there’s a woman in the frame blowing kisses. She’s also not a duck, but I figured she wasn’t the chicken.
Actually….

Guess who is correct again (hint: the capitals in her avatar are S.S.).
Who? Who?
I don’t see any capitals!
What a shot!
One in a million. Lots of skill and lots of luck.
Such a suave Captain, that Jack Basset.
All the girls want him, all the boys want to be him.
I really like these kids. The blog is very professional. But they don’t let i get in the way of a little fun.
Has someone got a puncture repair kit and a foot pump? My Afghan seems to have sprung a leak and deflated!
I kinda think your Afghan is a Borzoi.
But if you already bought an Afghan repair kit, it should work on any sighthound.
Just don’t put the really furry patches on a greyhound if you can avoid it.
Two days late!
I was going to ask… but maybe I don’t actually want to know for what?
I didn’t have Prime back then.
Harvesting blueberries.
I wonder what percentage it misses.

I finally got a decent code, but I had to use Chrome to ask.
My page looks nice, but stops at D. Not sure if they aren’t finished or if I need to add all the rest back again.
I think they looked at all the ways Comics Kingdom screwed up their last update, repeated them all and added more for good measure!
