I’ve set this to start at the San Francisco trolley scene in Buster Keaton’s “Daydreams.” This is the closest to the full movie as I can find on short notice. The full scene is quite a good bit of slapstick.
Again, this early movie set the bar for the stunts of today.
righto….Last night it looked like Surgal.. I didn’t do a very good search for the
artist’s name except from the painting itself.
Palette knife painting is such a cool, loose and free way of expression

Brought over from today’s “The Comic Strip… .” .
An amusing golf joke to include in your morning, if you wish.

Surgal
From looking for a description…… I believe it’s Eurgal… Christian Eurgal.

Yeah… I should have said I was looking for a description because I liked it.
Some palette knife painting just looks lazy, to me… a way to churn out mediocre work quickly.
But Eurgal seems to have a masterful hand with it… precise outlines and surprising details in those simple strokes.
…
And wow, it’s tiny… 20×20 cm is just under 8″ square.
He must use a really small palette knife.
Title:
Cabanes à huitres (Oyster huts / full size 20 × 20 centimetres)
Looks like some old shacks in the desert.

Phantom of the Dog Opera??
I see it!
Revere Beach, Massachusetts – 1905
Scroll down at this LINK and you’ll get a modern day perspective courtesy of Google Street View (usual Street View rules apply).
And this is it for me, today.
The Eighth Wonder of the World!
What is that moving thing in he lower right corner?
I wondered too.
I cropped it out, and made it huge….
Maybe a rock that keeps turning into a Golden Retriever?
Looks like a young woman to me.
I agree. Definitely his tiny lady love!
I can’t see it.
Oh… or are we looking at the top of her head?
Is she lifting her head up, and her right arm, then dropping them to her chest?
…
What do I know, anyway…
To me, it looks like Kong has a high chest pocket with a folded white hanky in it….
And I’m pretty sure that’s not true.
Then, what is the larger thing to the left of her?
Are there TWO ladies?
Not sure which way you mean by the left of her.
In my cropped image, IF I’m seeing it correctly, she’s lying on the ground, on her left side.
Her folded knees and her right arm extend in front of her, which means to our left, and there’s no room for something else.
…
In the original, full image, I don’t see anything more to her left except clumps of dirt and weeds (?).
Behind her back, to our right, there’s a strange, squiggly movement in the grass…
Could be the wind or a snake?
Above her, to our eyes, but actually lying on the ground behind her, is a massive tree root, or maybe a log,
and rising above that, the fallen, scaly beast that Kong has apparently slain.
…
Yes, I’m seeing it a bit more clearly, in the light of day…
But I still can’t explain Kong’s pocket hanky.
She, is Cardston’s most famous citizen. Cardston is a really nice little town.
Too, (as far as I know / it still was around 2012 when last I was there) it’s dry in the alcoholic sense.
The Cardston Mormon Temple (oldest temple outside the United States)
He appears to have just vanquished another gigantic creature.
A T-rex (start clip at the beginning for battle).
Here I am, Puzzle Pals and Cleo Friends… and any Solution Seekers amongst ye.
I’ve always felt sorry for poor old King Hound.
He didn’t have any idea that what he did was wrong…. and next thing you know, he’s in an environment he never could have imagined,
surrounded by two legged creatures, fumes, hard stone caves…. and strangely shiny beasts that aim projectiles in his direction.
…
The image I’m posting will show you whether you’ve found the correct differences between these two panels..
but, sadly, it won’t provide much of a solution for King Hound.
Excelsior!
I have seven so far for tonight. I’ll look tomorrow before I surrender.
I tried and tried, but still only saw 8.
There’s always next week.
Same here!
eight!
still can’t get spoiler to work
yea, it worked!
…six…
I looked last night.
I looked this morning.
I looked this afternoon. (and just now)
six
Seven here, and it took me five days to do it!
Ok; got all nine.
“88th”? Not “56th”?

Well, LOL! Loved #3! I was wondering how you were going to work in the 57 Studebaker.
Thanks for all the laughs. I’ve missed these. Very topical today! Thank the heavens for Snoopy!
the only place safe from Russian air attacks is downtown Mara Lago
Funny! And I’m sure you are right.
every time I try to book a time travel machine, the cost is way WAY more than paying those tight-ass script writers for an extra exclamation point….
and, you just wait until WordPress finds out you said ‘phallic’—
then you’ll be in BIG trouble, you old scalawag!
WordPress is anti-phallic or just tight-assed?
yes

Love the artwork. I got 8.
8 for me, too. I don’t feel bad about the one I missed.
The poor thing… lying there all alone and unchosen..
I guess that the three i missed are better off? They have company.
Oh, well!
