Wait… maybe it’s her tongue.
Looks like she was designed with a permanent little green bow on her head.
We know from the cartoons that animals with bows on their heads are female.

LOL… First I thought it was AI because they’re on the wrong side of the street. Then I realized it was from England, where they drive on the wrong side of the street on purpose.
Then I thought… wait… but the car has left-hand drive.
So I googled it.
It’s an album cover, based on a Hopper painting!
This is from Instagram, the only result that described the artwork, not just the record:
” ‘Crush’ from 1985 is the 6th studio album from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), a pioneer of electronic music.
For the cover art they turned to Paul Slater to produce an Edward Hopper style painting. Slayer based his artwork on Hopper’s Early Sunday Morning from 1930 which is part of the Whitney Museum’s collection.”
Now somebody tell me why the car has left-hand drive.
The funny thing about the image is I saw the OMD name up the top and knew it was an album cover first, then I saw the corner post and thought ‘Hopper’.
1980’s band, electronic music, album name is ‘Crush’, as you said, you can see the title under the rear bumper of the car. The early Eighties was a wealth of new electronic music developing on from the early synthesisers of the late sixties and seventies.
And the American LHD car goes with the Hopper scene, which doesn’t look like the UK at all to me.
Yes… it looks to me rather like the American Midwest, but it would be odd anywhere to have such isolated urban buildings with the bigger buildings so far in the distance.
The 1930 Hopper painting the artist said he based it on depicts 7th Avenue in New York City…. which is packed into a very urban environment.
Artistic license. Trying to set a mood.
The car doesn’t look American to my eyes… early “streamlined” cars were rather massive .
I remember that genre of music, but not this band.
Seen this done a few times in videos. In my village a junction on the main road has a ‘Pelican Crossing’ (Pedestrian controlled traffic light crossing) just to the right of the junction, and it’s a lot easier to get out of the side road at peak times if someone wants to cross the road and activates the crossing.
The one place I really need it, the pedestrian crossing is way too far from the merge point. (And there’s never a pedestrian around when you need one!)
I remember with fondness when mom would fry some sausages and then add Bavarian style long enough to warm it through and deglaze the pan.
You have no idea how much I would love to have some. I always do something wrong and it’s just not right.
I like fresh cabbage cooked slowly with onions, bacon and beer, and sometimes potatoes… or that mixture added to slow cooking sausages or beef… but I’ve never tried it with sauerkraut.
I love cabbage, cooked or especially raw… I make and eat tons of cole slaw, usually a couple of days a week, and lots of cabbage borscht, other cabbage soups, or sometimes stuffed cabbage, in cooler weather. Ooh and stir fried cabbage, too.
And I love pickles, and pickled beets, and pickled sweet peppers.
(And especially pickled herring, but I guess that’s kind of unrelated.)
I can’t figure out why I have always hated sauerkraut. I keep thinking I should like it… but no.
I don’t mind the smell of cooking cabbage, either. But sauerkraut? Even those tiny cups for the Costco hot dogs…. No no no.
Susan …try soaking the sauerkraut in water about an hour, draining then frying it with some butter until it’s a nice golden colour. This is how my Ukranian grandmother used to serve it.
But I wonder whether all that soaking and draining turns it back into plain cabbage, which is abundant and much cheaper, unless you make sauerkraut as a way to store cabbage.
I like plain cabbage fried in a pan with butter, sometimes with cooked potatoes… Also hash of corned beef and cabbage and potatoes (also good made with beets.)
I’ve been hoping to learn to like uncooked sauerkraut, because of the benefits of eating raw fermented foods.
There are kinds of kimchi (which is basically sauerkraut) out there that are not that spicy. You may use cabbage instead of napa ~.
maangchi.com shows how to make some of those, too.
I only used to like sauerkraut on a Reuben sandwich. (Technically, I’m not supposed to like any of the ingredients in a Reuben, but…) Then I liked it on a hot dog, then… Now I keep a jar in the fridge and slap it on all kinds of stuff!

The tip of his tongue must be transparent.
Wait… maybe it’s her tongue.
Looks like she was designed with a permanent little green bow on her head.

well, sure….all females have little bows on their heads —and long eyelashes.
She has those too!
Yellow, spiky cartoon-y eyelashes, like Bart Simpson’s hair
What a cutie!
..
Hopper would do this so much better.
yeah, this seems more like an illustration than an actual painting
Absolutely.
If it weren’t kinda sad, I’d think it might be a menu cover.
I’m getting ‘Bar in a movie theatre’ vibes from this one.
Maybe even in a fancy bowling alley.
have to be a members only–no kiddies where there’s booze–
hm. I guess that would depend on the state
Bowling alleys here often have bars… But they have doors to separate them from the family areas.
It also used to be a thing to have some late night adults only hours, where they played music and served cocktails right near the lanes…
Sometimes those nights were advertised as singles mixers. Dunno if it still happens. Most of the bowling alleys are gone.
To me, it’s got “melancholy” written all over it…
And a kind of sadness… Of loneliness…
That’s what made me compare it to Hopper.

Imported car.
The funny thing about the image is I saw the OMD name up the top and knew it was an album cover first, then I saw the corner post and thought ‘Hopper’.
I’m ashamed to admit I saw the words and knew it was English because of “Manœuvres” … but I didn’t know it was the name of a band.
And I didn’t think Hopper at all, but having been told, I can kind of see it.

If there were grills on the trunk, then I would have said it was something like a Porsche. You’re right, there’s a lot of artistic licence going on.
A Beetle convertible.
German car.
The license plate shape looks American too.
Yes… But to me, not the car
well, a ’30s car anyway
Early Sunday Morning by Edward Hopper, 1930

Of course.

“Anybody home? It’s raining. At least open the barn door.”
He did…
Needs more cow bells.
Same for the Blue Oyster Cult music above…
NEEDS MORE COWBELL…!
I’m sure you know they were the band in the original SNL sketch! 😀
MOOOOOOOOOO…?

I could only think “Tippii Hedrin in The Birds.” But that’s not Tippi Hedrin!
I hate when a camera crews show up and films me while I’m in a phone booth.

Peek-a-boo. Don’t mind the thorns.
I really wondered what was coming till I scrolled all the way down!
..
Mind the bend in the road.
Somehow I’m hearing “Slip Sliding Away..”
Something tells me someone didn’t apply the bonding coat before laying the asphalt…

Classic!
I recently wrote something about him here. I don’t remember whether it was from this role… For some reason I think it might have been from a Western.
“To Serve Man”.
;.
Ill be back on the morning when my eyes are working better.
Similar to yesterday’s puzzle, many things are hidden within this landscape, and not all of them are listed in the margin.
Yes… So far I see a sailboat, a coathanger, a mallet, a fishhook, what is probably a mixing bowl, and what might be a hubcap.
But I don’t see the thumbtack yet.
BTW the hedge at bottom left looks very happy.
I’m finding lots of stuff from other puzzles (fishhook, coat hanger, sailboat…) Not so many from this one though!
.
Um…. riiight….
I’m not buying the religious moment , but it appears to be real
Yeah… Same.
“
Do I want to know what’s going on here?
I was hoping someone would tell me……looks like there’s a flamingo involved here somehow
I think that’s a spoonbill, and it looks to be preening.
Isn’t that what you get after having ordered soup?
(I think you’re right.)
😀
Yes… I’ve seen spoonbills but I didn’t know some were so pink, or that their heads looked so skeletal till I just looked them up.
The color, like that of flamingos, comes from eating shrimp and other bearers of carotenoids…. and those heads really look like dinosaurs.
Supposedly, some call the babies “teaspoons”… But that sure sounds like something put in the article as a joke!
I remember with fondness when mom would fry some sausages and then add Bavarian style long enough to warm it through and deglaze the pan.
You have no idea how much I would love to have some. I always do something wrong and it’s just not right.
OK, Bavarian style what? I think I’m missing a word or two here, or I just don’t get the reference.
Sauerkraut.
What she said! ^

Thank you. I enjoy sauerkraut, and this looks like it takes it to the next level.
I like fresh cabbage cooked slowly with onions, bacon and beer, and sometimes potatoes… or that mixture added to slow cooking sausages or beef… but I’ve never tried it with sauerkraut.
WOW!
my mom used pan-fry tender baby spoonbills.
with a touch of garlic
You mean teaspoons…. 😉
…
Hey!
I don’t look that grumpy in real life.
😀
LOL!
Welcome back, we’ve missed you.
Taken in 1975, this picture is of:
Hungry pet tortoise….
he doesn’t appear to be color-blind…..going for the greens, just like he normally would
He needs that cup of coffee…
hah!
I love cabbage, cooked or especially raw… I make and eat tons of cole slaw, usually a couple of days a week, and lots of cabbage borscht, other cabbage soups, or sometimes stuffed cabbage, in cooler weather. Ooh and stir fried cabbage, too.

Without something added I don’t like it either.

Thanks. It sounds good…

Yeah, I’ve watched Maangchi make it, and other kimchi videos… thought I might make some myself to see if I liked it, but never did.
I’ve tried kimchi from jars, and different kinds that two friends have (separately) made…
One ate it every day, and insisted that i needed it for “gut health”.She even made me some that was not spicy at all.
But it’s all had that sauerkraut smell that I just don’t like.
I only used to like sauerkraut on a Reuben sandwich. (Technically, I’m not supposed to like any of the ingredients in a Reuben, but…) Then I liked it on a hot dog, then… Now I keep a jar in the fridge and slap it on all kinds of stuff!
now I’m getting hungry,,,,feel like Dagwood
