There is a website that has all the Boys Life magazines, including everything inside. I found it looking for the April 1959 edition which has around 90 rebuses on the cover. I have it copied, but need to improve the images for more clarity and if successful, try to post it.
I should have noticed, but didn’t, whether it said “Member” by your name. If you’re logged out, it usually says “Guest.”
When you logged back in as Dancing Buffalo, it should have changed your earlier posts to that, but it didn’t.
When you’re logged in, old name or new, and give a “like”, it posts under your name…
But non-member “like”s say “Guest”, even if the site remembers your usual name for your posts.
It’s an effect you can do in some photo manipulation software. You can select one part of the picture to remain coloured, and set the rest of the image to B&W etc.
I would guess “Malicious Compliance.” If the code says that the sidewalk must be six feet from the kerb line, then the contractor installs the path in front of the house six feet from the kerb line. Any other measurement would incur a fine. It’s not their fault the hydrant is in the way, plus it’s not on the property they’re working for, and the city workers who installed the connecting curved path don’t care as they don’t get fined, just the contractors.
How to manipulate statistics… just the ever so teeniest bit.
Old fashioned Mercator projection, to make the northern part enormous in comparison. Antarctica would be too, so just trim it off.
Fail to point out the climate zones, hoping we don’t notice that the purple band is most of the northern temperate region on earth, with a bit of subtropical.
Gee… there are fewer big cities in the desert, or the jungle…. or near the north pole? Who woulda thunk.
The southern temperate zone is mostly ocean, though there are a few good size cities there, or in the subtropical area just above.
But basically, that purple band isn’t as small as it looks, because this type in of map makes the rest look bigger… and it covers most of the comfortable area of the earth.
This map shows the temperate zone going father north than some others… It’s pretty cold at the top of it, the part that’s outside the purple band.
I dunno why, but it cracks me up that it you look closely at this beautifully kept … maybe restored?… historical English marketplace, there’s only one legible sign.
Dead center in the shops visible in this photo, is “Pizza Express.”

“And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China…”
Thanks… I was going to do that last night before zzzzzzzz.
I figured somebody would…
Duck à l’orange.
Mmmm! Yummy 🙂
..,
Not fair!
Can’t post just the cover… I need to see pages 2 and 3!
Meanwhile… Just what are those Boy Scouts planning to do to Santa? He looks alarmed.
Of course they’re there to help him! Boy Scouts are always doing good deeds. It’s part of the Boy Scout ethos instilled in every scout.
Yeah… but who knows if they were changing that.
Maybe Santa got to see the “extraordinary announcement.”
I read my brudders’ Boys’ Life magazine too.

Wow! These are really great brownies..
“Hey Boss! Ed’s drunk again!”
Preparatory road work for the city’s new Trump statue soon to be installed.
Pretty please…. Difficult as it can be, we try to keep politics off Cleo and Company.
Tempting as it is to think everybody agrees, it’s not necessarily so, and there are enough contentious places on the Internet.
BTW… what happened to your name?
I saw it switch back to this the other day, then your new name came back … and now it’s gone again.
Ah – I don’t do much political commentary normally…I’ll behave better in the future 🙂
And the name change is my web browser logging me out randomly, at which point it reverts to what it remembered from before.
WordPress is strange.

What did you feed that poor duck?
The title says “happy duck.” Should it be “drunk duck?”
Wow! These are really great brownies..
👍 🤩
Lookit that!
I gots toes!

I’m sensing a pattern. You really like brownies, don’t you?
Especially those brownies…

Every kitty needs a pet sheep.
I have to call a foul here. How is kitty in color and the rest in black & white?
Looks like someone colorized a B&W photo.
It’s an effect you can do in some photo manipulation software. You can select one part of the picture to remain coloured, and set the rest of the image to B&W etc.
It’s one of the built-in effects in even my low-end smart phone camera.
Funny… when I was sleepy last night, I saw snow, and a white sheep, and didn’t even realize the trees weren’t green.

Whoops. Surveyor error?
Or really great brownies.
🤣

Really good brownies! Snerk.

I really like this.
Really big gorilla there.

I guess I need to get out more.
I’m going to guess. Because haven’t seen any if those movies.

What you don’t see is the banana gun in his lap…locked and loaded…
With apologies to Gary Larson: “You know, Sid, I really like bananas.”
When life gives you bananas…
Smoke ’em if you got ’em.
I couldn’t find any information about this but while searching for it, I did find this.
I suggest clicking or downloading it, to see it bigger… it’s difficult enough without also being too small.
Find the rubber ducky (I did, so I know it’s there, but it wasn’t easy!):
It was for me…
Got it fast (for me).
Funny thing is, when I downloaded it, I got a bigger, clearer image than the one I solved it from online.
I didn’t realize it’s easier to spot on this one.
And if you really like bananas….
You know, Sid, …
Or some Harry Chapin…
.
Wow… If I’d heard that one, I didn’t remember.
A bit gruesome at the end!
But if 30,000 pounds of bananas fit in a semi, imagine how many are in that warehouse.

It’s almost like it’s a temperate zone or something….
Oops… Posting at the same time again.
And we agree!
LOL….

Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy, lady.
Hmmmm. Just a youngster. 😉
Leadenhall Market, London, one of the city’s oldest covered markets, dating back to the 14th century.
Oh, BTW, for those who aren’t aware ‘Leadenhall’ is pronounced like the metal.
I dunno why, but it cracks me up that it you look closely at this beautifully kept … maybe restored?… historical English marketplace, there’s only one legible sign.

Marco Polo would be proud.
For Bunday.
Ying and Yang. 🙂
Dick van Dyke – Born December 13, 1925
Happy Birthday Tigressy!
Thank you!
Sorry we’re not doing them here now.
Hopefully you understand why.
He’s 100 years old now, and still performing.
And just think of all the laughs he’s provided!
