Thanks for converting nighthawks’ .tiff posting yesterday. Between your and StelBel’s comments I finally figured out that I should have been clearer about what I meant.
I put my revamped question, with an attachment, to nighthawks below.

As I said to Tigressy above, I should have been clearer in my question.
The attachment illustrates the change in the size of the axe handles in mid-flight. There are at least two different sizes, and possibly three if we accept the final axe handle in the credits size change is not due to perspective.
So my revamped question: Also, what happened to a portion of the length their handles in mid-flight?
whoopie, found all nine, is it just me or have we had this one before, it just looks familiar! It still took a while to find them all! not to be picky, but I think one of your squares should be bigger, it is not covering everything that is different, LOL
6, and that was after languishing at 3 for quite a while. I won’t say what I found (if anything) but I went cross-eyed staring at the bike spokes (you should be ashamed of yourself, NightHawks).
Just so you definitely have your daily dose of weird.
The attachment is to credit who I learned the existence of this from. It’s at “Andy Capp” today.
While it is true that Andy Capp is officially Andrew Capp, I have often wondered whether Reg Smythe used Andy Capp as a play on “handicap.”
Lyrics to ‘Yoda’
[Verse 1]
I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S-O-D-A, soda
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said, “Yoda”
Y-O-D-A, Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
[Chorus]
Well, I’ve been around, but I ain’t never seen
A guy who looks like a Muppet, but he’s wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
Well, I’m not dumb, but I can’t understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
[Post-Chorus]
Well I left home just a week before
And I’ve never, ever been a Jedi before
But Obi-Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, “Go to Yoda and he’ll show you the Force”
[Chorus]
Well I’m not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I’m gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
[Refrain]
Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
[Bridge]
So, I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won’t forget what Yoda said
[Verse 2]
He said, “Luke, stay away from the Darker Side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide”
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
“I know Darth Vader’s really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you’ll be unemployed”
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
[Chorus]
Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I’m gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess
But I know that I’ll be coming back someday
I’ll be playing this part till I’m old and grey
The long-term contract I had to sign
Says I’ll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda
I’ve always just assumed Andy Capp was meant to convey ” ‘andicap” in England, where comic characters representing the working class so often drop h’s, or “aitches”, as they say.
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the bumble bee animation (it might have been a screen-saver) from around the era of Windows 7?
It was in colour, and the bee was flying through the various rooms of a house on a loop.
I’ve looked under all the variations I can think of, and have come up with nothing even close.
I always considered it a fun thing to stare at while solving all the problems of the universe but one (that one being how do I get everyone to act upon my absolutely genius solutions).
Using my best economics-teacher voice: “Anyone?…..Anyone?”
I won’t take up any more space today.

Eight, as usual. I think the ninth is that Nighthawks swapped out the little guy in the cockpit of the red plane, but I can’t prove it.
.
Is that a “come-hither” look for a lady-basset?
What kind of place are you running here, girl?
I have a great desire to rub that belly.
That position does miracles for the back.
Drama queen.

A real torture chamber!!!
and the best part is that after the mad dentist releases you from ‘the chair’, you get to pay them for the torture

I’m sure it was a clean as a whistle
–but I believe I’d pass on the fruit
Yeccch!

Watch where you put that hand bub!
Sean Connery…….sigh!!!
He’s doing pretty well with his fore arm, the hand isn’t the only thing with ‘feeling’. 😉
When it comes to Ursula Andress, I think a paraphrase of a lyric from the theme song of “Goldfinger,” could be used.
This face is cold
this was the album cover for the soundtrack of the movie….played at 33 and a third
speed on our stereo record player.
The book was better — no bikini!

Perspective.
Not necessarily the way you’re thinking of that word.
I mean, Nighthawks’ perspective on how he thought the picture should look, as art, and to convey comic effect.
…
He does have an Artistic License, you know.
It conveys the right to distort and change physical properties in the service of humor, and to operate solely under the guidelines of comics physics.
yeah, except my artistic license expired years ago….I’m going to have to
get it renewed
Relativistic for-shorting?
The further out you go the faster the handle is moving. The outer length was simply moving faster than light, so you couldn’t see it.
uh….yeah! we’ll go with that

Whose fencing was so exceedingly brisk
So swift was his action

Reduced his rapier to a disk.” — James Coleman
Puzzle night, Cleofans and Puzzaholics!
Gitcher differences while they’re hot!
Nine per customer, only, please… No waiting.
No need for any shoving or pushing… we have plenty to give everybody nine differences, and after that, one solution.
….
Actually, I’m stopping off with the solution truck a bit early (for me)…. but I’ll leave it parked here while I go make dinner.
I’ll trust you all to try to solve the puzzle before you pick up a solution… and only one, please.
Cleo will be keeping an eye on it, anyway… and you KNOW she’s looking for a place to practice with those axes!
….
So when you’re honestly ready for the solution…
I’m not honestly ready for the solution, but I’m ready for bed. So I’ll stop at 8.
I got #9! WooHoo! I just needed a fresh pair of eyes.
I found eight. I may have found the ninth depending on how close it is to one of the other differences.
Hopefully not actually a spoiler…
Look only if you’ve done your best, but you still aren’t sure whether you’ve found all nine…
Here’s a bit of…
Some might want to count them as one but they are two different differences, so they count as two.
I really enjoy these puzzles more when I’m relaxed, like today. But I do much better with them when I’m keyed up and on edge.
Got the same nine.
I see a certain animated .gif coming up in the near future…
whoopie, found all nine, is it just me or have we had this one before, it just looks familiar! It still took a while to find them all! not to be picky, but I think one of your squares should be bigger, it is not covering everything that is different, LOL
Eight again @%#^!
Is that a magic carpet, Cleo? I have seven or eight, will check back in the AM.
LOL… for a minute or six, I thought you meant you had seven or eight magic carpets!
I wanted to ask for a ride!
…
But yeah… I thought that too.
She looks like she’s considering its flight-worthiness… and whether it’ll have enough lift for a basset hound when she gets it home.
Is there a single one of those kids doing the stroll that is having fun?
they do look rather grim, don’t they?
They’re probably scared witless because they’re on TV!
And trying to look cool.
I’ve been there!
I live there.
My wife thinks Hwy 18 at milepost 13 is like that.
Quite the combination. The mind boggles.
6, and that was after languishing at 3 for quite a while. I won’t say what I found (if anything) but I went cross-eyed staring at the bike spokes (you should be ashamed of yourself, NightHawks).
I wear my shame like a badge of honor
As an honorable badger should!
I take it the evil cat in the box is free.
Good morning Difference phinders! Nine of these things are not like the others…
Blonde brownies…contradiction of terms?
Y’all have a sweet day! (((((HuGz!)))))
Is the kid on the right of the “celebration of life” photo wearing a shirt that says “STAB”?
