What the candy manufacturers call “fun sized…”

A calico pup!

Did you know that over 99% of calico cats are female… but not calico dogs?

And that probably nobody but me calls dogs calico anyway?
Why not?

I consider it torture.

Cruel and unusual punishment.

You know, I hate to start feeling suspicious of every vintage photograph…

But this street is, like, one car wide… I don’t see any dresses, but the cars still somehow look older than the clothes…

And those giant floating trees…..

I mean??

Agreed. What I first noticed was despite the large crowd, no one is facing us.

The Soviet/Russian AN-2. In WWII this plane was to the Soviets what the C-47 was to the US. It was still in production all the way up to 2001.

Probably you all know….

This is….
James Arness and Amanda Blake…. as Matt Dillon and Miss Kitty, on Gunsmoke.

What I want to know is what the heck she is wearing.

Did somebody just stop colorizing her right arm and neck, or paint her picture partly white, or is she bandaged?

And why is the thick bodice of her dress folded up in front of her like some kind of screen?

LOL, my thoughts too (what is she wearing). But I needed your spoiler to know who they are and in what they appeared. Thank you.

The white is caused by overexposure of the film. The camera guy should have caught it, if nothing else than by taking different shots with different (in this case, shorter) exposure times.

The outfit? Just made that way, I guess.

So they’re not talking about the mouse in my hand. Darn, I thought I set a record for finding it.

I’m guessing he was born at a very young age, but I can’t be certain of that.

OH! ¡Mira, Cleomigos!

Perro™… er..rides? Um… well, he must have ridden…right?

Even if we didn’t see him ride?

Cos I doubt the hacienda of his father is within walking distance of the mayor’s residence….

so he’d have to ride… especially if he’s going to threaten the mayor at sword-point and need to make a swift getaway!

So, if you don’t mind… let’s just say Perro™ rides!

And now he will send the mayor to Spain.

Which makes me think… I have assumed that Mayor Asesinato is a Spanish alcade… and that Slurez and his henchmen were working for the Spanish crown.

But perhaps they are independent criminales…. villanos…. that the Spanish Crown… la corona de españa…. would just as soon be rid of as well.

Could Perro™ be shipping their sorry P-marked posteriors one by one to foreign shores, somewhere across the ocean…

Shores that el alcade, er…the Mayor… has never seen…. but apparently has suddenly always longed for?

Extra, extra ‼
From today’s “Lio” at Gocomics I learned that Walt Disney was also born on December 5, albeit in 1901.

Earned it, Hell yeah, we both have :: for moi, same job from August 1971 to April 2009, 37-1/2 years, progressing through the ranks from apprentice to Estimator Management and Workscope builder. I had built a fairly good DB pension within the Company and the Mergers (grandfathered in), I didn’t want to leave but I knew pending health issue were close on the horizon, and when my Boss made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, well, the rest is history.
But, Jean-Luc Pecard said it best, unfortunately, in the first episode of Star Trek: Picard.
But I have no regrets. Nor should you. Nor should anybody.

Some people are just stupid (or as they would say when they look it up in the dictionary: “I can’t be stupid, I don’t have a bent back.”)
As usual, turn off your speakers.

It looked like he was wanting to get rear-ended. I wonder why.
And I wonder how it all went when the truck’s insurance company viewed the recording…
