When you make a puzzle, assuming you mean “Find the Differences”, not a jigsaw, you have to change little things, to make one panel look different from the other.
If it’s a drawing, especially your own drawing, you can, say, turn a coffee cup so the handle is on the other side…
then you’d have to fill in the background where the handle used to be.
….
But It would be very difficult to make similar changes in a photo.
They’d stand out as painted bits, unless you were amazingly good at photo-realistic painting.
Imagine adding a little branch to the greenery so it didn’t look fake, or moving something on a wooden table, and painting in the grain that used to be behind it.
…
If you were the original photographer, you could set it up, take a shot, then move or replace things and take a second one…
but then you’d have tiny shadows or maybe different exposure of some little bit that people would argue was a difference.
Susan, I’m guessing your reply to Happy [above] refers to using an art program like PAINT. But, there are programs that can “tamper” with photo images (like Photoshop) and unless you look at it in a microscope, you would be hard put to detect any changes.
I have a cloning tool that is really helpful in doing just that. It’s from a very old program, but it is my “go to” tool and I use it frequently on drawings AND photos. I’m sure I could even do a better job if I would only break down and buy a newer program! (But you know how I hate to let go of my antique computer programs! LOL)
So, if you only use PAINT, the possibilities are limited. I sometimes use tools from 4 or 5 different programs to work on just one poster.
Any chance you use “Picture Publisher”? I loved that program but Windows 8 & 10 wouldn’t run it. It had Mirror Clone. You could do a normal clone (like Photoshop, Gimp, and others), but you could also mirror horizontally, vertically, or both (diagonal). What that gave you was the ability to start adjacent and move away while cloning, it ensured a perfect blend at the starting point.
I thought the other day that Ratfink might have been an influence on the look of the Snitch in the Ditch… or at least some other creature from Big Daddy Roth, cos he didn’t have Ratfink’s super-skinny nose.
But now we have a real fink to deal with.
…
However… even if the fink makes a stink, and it’s written in ink, do you think there’s a link to what her “parents” will think?
Nah… Claude and Clara will wink… Cleo’s loot will never shrink!
That Touch of Mink
seen at the rink
there, on the brink
will make you blink.
To that I drink! (Time for my morning coffee anyway.)

Judy in Disguise always reminds me of my toddler son and his fascination with his older sister’s glasses. Does anyone notice glasses anymore? Unless they are designed to be noticed, of course.

This should be done as a puzzle. Less clutter. 🙂

oh, we’ve done photos before, it’s not as easy as to change things in
cartoon, but doable.
Photoshop? Or something like that?
There is a freeware program called “Gimp” that you can download that works nearly as well as (expensive) Photoshop.

“I’m keeping an eye out for rat finks.”
this would be an excellent Find the Differencesâ„¢ puzzle guaranteed to drive you batty.
What say you? you guys up to it?
BTW, I count 5 cats and 2 dogs in there
7 cats (one hiding pretty well, and one I think is a cat) and 2 dogs… Plus a picture of a dog (on a card), but that one probably doesn’t count.
6 cats.
You could put a lot more than 9 in there.
I cant even find five cats.
Sure you can!
Four are together. That only leaves one obvious one of the 5.
There’s also one hiding, and one I can barely make out that might not be a cat but I think it is.
(I just don’t know whether Nighthawks would want me to tell more. Then again, I guess that wouldn’t be part of the puzzle… I’ll ask him.)
If you’re thinking the dark thing under the table near the boy is a cat, it isn’t. It’s his shoe.
Oh… OK.
I think you’re right.
Thanks.
cat in window pain
That hurts…
Sorry, I can’t see a cat in any of the windowpanes.
I see a person outdoors, and what I think Happy³ meant was another person.
I thought so too, but now I think maybe it’s a bird flying close to the window.
There might also be two people, probably children, too far away to make out.
But the only cats I see are indoors, and not near the windows.
Am I missing it?
What is in the top left window pain, it is something,
If you mean the left hand window, in the top row, past the very left pane, which is covered by a curtain…
the next three all show little branches of the same tall, leafless tree, which must be near the window.
….
In the smaller, right-hand window, the top left pane looks out on a big evergreen tree.
There are a couple of strange shapes in the foliage…
They look almost like unattached ears from a toy rabbit…But they’re way too big, and not lined up.
And there’s no room for a huge rabbit body.
I think is just the artist’s strange way of drawing conifer branches, but the resolution isn’t good enough to tell.
If I have correctly deduced the images to which you refer, I think it is simply frost on the windows.
There is only white frost ON the windowpanes, but bambushie was asking about something IN one of them, that looked to him like a cat.
I was just guessing that his “in the top left window pain” includes what you see looking OUT of that pane… cos none of the frost looked feline to me.
I can’t see a cat outside, either, so I was taking a stab at interpreting what I thought he might be looking at…..
though only my guesses, of course.
Or are you saying even the trees I see outside look like frost to you?
Thanks but still looks like something on the window, may not be a cat, if it is just frost, it still looks like something
Nope. Yours are difficult enough for my bad eyes and pickled grey matter.
You don’t even have to ask ME.
You know I’ll do it!
Five people.
Are you counting one on a card?
Cos if so there are 3 dogs.
Out the window. Two more people.
OK… I see the second one now.
I was only seeing one before, and one on the card.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!
nothing ambiguous about THAT opinion!
There’s a dog outside by the gas pump!
The red thing? It’s a gas pump?
I can’t make it what’s on top of it, so I thought it was a mail box of some sort.
But I don’t see a dog, only sections of a low, snow-capped brick wall.
It’s almost Christmas ~ i”m batty enough right now!
You trying to claim Christmas has something to do with that?
LOL… 😆
Worse yet, it could have been the King of Id.
Cos the King is a fink?
The King is a Fink!
That’s what I was thinking, too.
I’ve always liked this song by the Fleetwoods, the voices blend so well.

Good thing I didn’t blink or I’d have missed a spot.

Sciencey stuff!
Would it be sciencey or scienceie ?
My spell check dislikes both. 😀
Surpise me…
It’s not a real word, so spell Czech probably won’t like any spelling of it… but if someone said it anyway, I’d vote for science-y.
If it’s in that video, I won’t be able to stay awake for an almost 20 minute science-y one right now to find out.
Too scientific-ish. Scientificness is soporific at 1am.
AAaargg. I can’t listen to her pronunciation of methane any longer !
But she’s so cute!
I agree! MEE-thane?
That’s how they say it in England.
Mee-thane is the correct pronunciation in the UK.
More JWST stuff!
chocolate dipped bananas
chocolate-dipped strawberries
“Strawberries? At this time of year?!?”
Guess the comic!
Cleo and Company!
Close, but no cigar. 😉
.
That’s what bananas need – more sweetness and sugar. /s
There are bananas out there that are non-sweet at all.
But not the ones above; I agree…
my favorite part of today’s CLEO is her HALO!
thanks, Tigressy! (he said sarcastically)—all morning I’ve been singing in a loud booming voice:
“Everybody’s doin’ the Michigan Raaa-ag!”
My apologies…to your neighbors.
frog songs…… like nighthawks, i’m gonna hear them ALL day!
I love today’s animation! Hysterical!
cool! I just need a few more hundred thousand folks like you
Cleo, you better go look for that halo….and maybe an extra. The watchers are watching you. And you better watch out!
