I think the bottom one has a leak!

Oh dear… can he be patched and reinflated?
Do you need special equipment, or can you just use a bicycle pump?

So many missing… yet they’re just filling up space with 2nd and 3rd generation nepo babies…. … err…nepo puppies.

I mean, Copper is pretty, but that space should be for Cleo.

Instead of Pongo, let’s have Poncho. There are so many more… I’m sure you can think of at least half a dozen.

He’s maybe not so well known, but I’d like to see James, from Fat Cats.

Yeah, I know… those are cartoon dogs, and I’m adding comics dogs.
But fair is fair!

Ooh… took me a sec. She’s helping (or pulling?) the New Year’s baby into the coach… Headed off to 1923.

103, almost 104 years ago… wow.

Anyway, this is by Edward Penfield, probably the premier American poster artist of his time, mostly a bit earlier than this, and a great influence on other illustrators.

I was wondering if Pete Beard covered him… I don’t remember seeing that. But there were probably a few I didn’t get time to watch.

For a couple of decades #2 was likely to be G.

Oh!!
Duh!

My brain just kicked in. About time.

I kept looking at this thinking they meant the most popular set of books in each state… I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that makes no sense.

Okay, so they mean the story was set in that state.
Now I’m just confused because one book is set in, like, four states.

But it’s okay… I don’t read Stephen King, so I don’t have to know why.

Yes, she was quite a beauty, but don’t fall for movie fictions.

The modern film about her relationship with the artist Johoundes Furmeer, and posing for his famous painting, “The Grrrr with the Pearl Earring” implies that they had a romantic relationship.

Historians know that Furmeer was actually quite devoted to his mate, with whom he had 11 litters.

That’s a pretty useful-looking fish scaler! It would probably work quite well, if you could get the bird to hold still. {^¿^}
