Whoo hoo…. The gang’s all here….

You probably know

that this is…
the cast of the original Star Wars movie:
Harrison Ford (Han Solo), David Prowse (Darth Vader), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia Organa), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Kenny Baker (R2D2).

Wait…. Where’s C3PO? I guess not all here.

I only recognized
Mark

And I didn’t realize
Carrie

was so short.

She was also only 19 years old.

Ok, I just checked… she was 5’1″.

The fellow closest to us,
Harrison Ford,
with whom she had an on-screen, and later revealed an off-screen, romance, was 33, and he’s 6’1″.

Okay, but they don’t look like bluebirds to me.

Forget Bluebirds, keep an eye out for Gulls!

Haven’t heard of that happening, doesn’t mean it doesn’t though. There will usually be an onshore wind, so that would complicate matters once the ‘chute has been deployed.

If there is an updraft an ultralight would be better.

Yes, Hang Glider/Microlight/Ultralight would work around there. Plus, less chance of getting your feet wet.

I remember this from another post quite a while back… So long ago it might even have been on GoComics, not Cleo.

I know I looked it up. It’s not as old as it looks…. or all that old, as collectibles go… the 70s I think.

Meant as a joke, and sold in novelty shops, for adults, not in toy stores…. It has a battery, and gives a mild shock to your curious friends if they pick it up.

It was already going for a couple hundred dollars on eBay.

She looks a bit – shall we say “long in the tooth?” – to be bottle feeding.

I didn’t notice the stripes till i searched this.

But look closer… according to several websites, this is a liger, named Hercules, the offspring of a male lion and a tigress. (Offspring of a lioness and a tiger are called tigons).

He’s 10 feet long, and weighs 922 pounds, and was in the 2014 Guinness Book of Records as the largest feline in the world.

He was living at Myrtle Beach Safari Wildlife preserve in South Carolina… in the preserve’s area called TIGER, which stands for The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species.
I didn’t see an update anywhere.

I also didn’t see anything saying this photo was doctored, and there was another one with the same woman in it, where a man was giving Hercules a bottle.

I also read that lions and tigers don’t need help to mate and reproduce, but nonetheless, don’t mate in the wild, mostly because those cats don’t share habitat.

In captivity, which is the only place they exist, ligers can grow to double the size of their parents and weigh 100 times more than the average pet cat.

They’re sterile, though. Tigons are somewhat smaller, and can reproduce, but their babies seldom survive.

LOL… You know, you can say anything you like.

It’s a free country. Well… yours is. Not sure about mine, at the moment.

But as for the photo… I dunno.
I saw a bunch, and this seems as real as the rest.

I think the beast being so huge makes it look less real.

Same goes for snowy owls – we’ve seen them at our local zoo but not instantly because they are that huge!
Next time, we didn’t see them either – because the cage was empty…

I was somewhat surprised to find that this logo was done in 1992.

The model, chosen by the artist, is Jenny Joseph, a 28-year-old staffer at the Times-Picayune newspaper.

His painting was animated afterward to have lighting effects, and AFAIK is still in use.

There is no single classic Columbia logo… There have been many versions.

The earliest were usually shown black and white, but full color versions exist, usually for advertisement, like the one below.

They were first draped in the American flag, but by the 1960s it was realized that it was counter to flag code, so the practice was stopped.

There’s a very popular YouTuber whose funny, short videos I watch… (He’s very tall, and the only non dwarf in his close family… The rest all have dwarfism.)

A while back he showed off his new place, in the Hollywood hills, where he keeps some things very low for when his mother visits.

Looking out his window, the Hollywood sign looks very close.

He’s not a multimillionaire. I can’t figure out from this where he could possibly live. It doesn’t look like there’d be small houses in that little area above it… and everything else looks like it’s way below.

Oh… I couldn’t find the video I wanted but here’s a quick bit from Instagram.

I don’t have an IG account, but it played for me… Hope it works here.

I believe I’ve found all ten. They’re small. That is, if I’m right. We shall see.

And I’m wrong. One “difference” I thought I saw was nothing, and I missed an easy one. D’oh!

It took me a bit longer than usual, and I kept thinking I found things, then enlarged and they were nothing.

OTOH one actual difference took me a few minutes to convince myself was real, even though now it looks obvious to me.

Hello Cleo pals and puzzledoers….

Here I am with today’s solution…

But can we take a moment to admire the lovely selection of cakes?

And the polite behavior of the canine guests… That is, I presume they’re guests, since it would be cruel to invite all those sweet doggies to a party for humans, and tell them not to touch.

I wouldn’t mind a piece of cake, though, if they’re willing to share.

Not, of course, if they’re made with ingredients especially for dogs, and not what they look like to me. I don’t think I’d like beef frosting, liver paste flowers or chicken cake. Well, maybe…. but probably not.

OTOH, cake full of sugar and chocolate isn’t good for dogs… So I hope they won’t be turned loose with permission to devour it all.

Maybe the whole thing is a doggie fantasy, painted by a canine artist.

Whoever did it…. There are TEN differences between the panels…

I found it a bit difficult this week… But I did find them, and I’m convinced you can too!

My finds….

Eight, but it took far too long to find them. The two I failed to see are, in retrospect, quite clear after looking at the solution.

I searched better than I counted. I came down here with the woeful total of 7 and checked your solution, but could only find one that I missed, recounted, and I actually got 9. The one I missed I kept looking at, but couldn’t see the difference until you pointed it out.

A diabolic and a quite busy scene, that!
Got nine, totally missed the last one. Thanks for the solution, Susan, I doubt I would have gotten the final one…

An ostrich carriage being stopped by the police for crossing the speed limit, Los Angeles, ca 1930’s.

The motorcycle will be an Indian, they were used by the police as the twistgrip throttle is on the left hand instead of the more conventional right. This allowed the police to draw their firearm whilst riding if they need to.
