It looks like a human arm coming out the ground and hugging the cat.

Really? Hey, are you prepared for our freezing weather next week? Going to get into the single digits ~ maybe even lower for you. I hope this is the last cold spell. I am SO ready for Spring and Summer.

Bimbo is best known as Betty Boop’s boyfriend and sometimes fiance in her early cartoons.

Some people wonder why a sexy movie star like Betty had a dog for a boyfriend….

but the truth is that at the time of this cartoon Bimbo was a star on his own, in the Fleischman studio.

Betty was brought in as his girlfriend… and in her first appearances, she was a French poodle!

She soon lost her long ears, and morphed into the human “Boop-boop-a-doop” girl we know.

She became the big star, and got her own cartoon series, but didn’t break up with her long time doggie boyfriend.

At least not till the Hays Office decided in 1934 that scenes of a sexy woman in a short, low cut dress kissing a dog were too risqué… LOL

They made the loyal pair break up (sniffle) and made Betty lose the garter, and cover up, in puffed sleeves and longer skirts.

She even had a human boyfriend for a while (poor Bimbo…)
And eventually a new little pet dog, with whom she was not in a love
relationship.

It confused me as a child, seeing the cartoons out of order.

Tonight’s puzzle is… Are the Cliffords walking right past that charming diner…

Or did they already eat there, and we see them on the way out?

….

No… I don’t mean “on the way out” due to the aftereffects of eating there…

Some places that look that funky actually have good food… once you get up the nerve to try it.

Of course, every now and then you find one that doesn’t…

But never mind…for now, we’ll assume our protagonists are just fine.

After all, I think Nighthawks would have told me if the strip were ending. Wouldn’t you, Nighthawks? I mean… For real.

Actually, I jest… You know as well as I do that we’re looking for nine differences between these panels.

We’re fairly predictable around here.

So give it a go… I think you can find them today….

then compare with what I found HERE!

Yup; the last one was a bit tricky – but I’ve got them all.

We’ve eaten in worse-looking places in South Korea – multiple times each; excellent food and service. No lack of regular patrons.

Me too… Not in Korea, but even in the US.

And places in Mexico, in the 60’s, that make this diner look like the Ritz.

A couple of overturned oil barrels on the sidewalk that served as grills and comals (a flat grill for tortillas), or they might have a ramshackle charcoal grill.

The food was great.

Soft tacos peddled from buckets on the platform outside the train windows when we stopped at a station.

I drew the line at fruit juice drinks ladled from an open bucket into a barely rinsed communal glass… But I watched dozens drink them.

I only got sick once…

But that was a doozy … I lost 20 pounds in 10 days and almost died, till somebody finally brought me antibiotics, which were then sold without prescription in Mexico.

Did it make me more careful? A little.

I did go back to the states then, and I think i only ate in restaurants, some still pretty casual, the next time I was south of the border.

These days in the US there’s much more supervision of food sellers.

And I’m under orders to be very careful, for medical reasons.

But sometimes I miss that carefree eating!

@ —comment image    Susan Sunshine

From yesterday.
Who the subject is, I do not know, but her nose, lips and chin are visible under the lamp shade, and her hair braid comes over her right shoulder.
There also appears to be decorative feathers in the back of her head.

Oh… I didn’t see it as a face, but now I can tell that it might be.

Maybe a portrait of a North American native woman.

Or maybe not.

When you said the subject could be identified, I thought you meant it was a recognizable work.

I guess that’s because the fellow seems to be watching a recognizable movie, not that it’s related.

Thanks for answering.

Speaking of answering…

There were a lot of later replies about what was possibly wrong in that painting, and also about the puzzle one, with the car.

Just saying, cos if you were involved you may have missed a reply or two.

..

And with absolutely no authority whatsoever, except for being somewhat loosely employed by Cleo and Company Productions,

I took it upon myself to award an unauthorized Cleo and Company prize to what I considered the most likely answer, or in this case, answers, to the car puzzle, since Nighthawks said he didn’t have the official solution.

It was split between two entrants, only one of whom, AFAIK, has discovered it.

Congratulations, PerkyCat!

The other winner has yet to claim his/her share.

How do I delete a comment once I make it?

If it is the one you made above, no need to delete ~ that’s how we all feel.
Anyway, go to the comment and in the right bottom of your comment, there is a little gear or wheel thing. Click on that and then click on ‘edit’. You can change it or backspace the whole thing.
Someone here may know a better way, but that is what I have done.

No, it was a different comment. The “gear wheel” only gave me the option of “Edit” with no delete. ((I used the edit option to erase the comment and replace it with the question.)

I definitely did not want to delete my reply to Happy’s sad news.

The way PerkyCat said works, if you want to make changes; in fact it’s my preferred way to edit…

But it won’t let you leave it totally blank, or remove it completely.

If you want to do that, you have to wait till you see “Click to Edit” at the bottom of your comment…
Sometimes you have to refresh the page to get it quickly.

Click on that, and one option is “Delete.”

But I agree with her about that particular comment.
