This isn’t the first time I’ve run into this while searching for information.
Apparently this type of cat is called a Bombay Black.
The breed was developed by Nikki Horner ofLouisville, Kentucky, in 1965.
I went to my bookshelf and picked out my copy of Aesop’s Fables.
There are probably a myriad more that Pete Beard couldn’t include in such a short video, and while Glen Rounds does have a Wikipedia article, on a short perusal, there is no mention of his work with the J.B. Lippincott Company of Philadelphia, illustrating the translations of Thomas James and George Tyler Townsend.
I’ve always thought that Glen Rounds used chalk as his medium for his drawings; they have looked that way to me since I got the book as a present in April 1961.
There is no date of significance in April in my life, so it must have been an un-birthday present. My mother wrote my name in it and the month and year.
Arthur Rackham illustrated my copy of “The Wind in the Willows.”
Now I have to go read some fables.

I know what a prism is.
It’s where we put comvicts.
Upon reflection, it is crystal clear to me that Nighthawks is gonna be the one in prism,
when the pun police catch up with him!
He thinks he knows all the angles…
But he’s so transparent…
even trying to put his words into the mouth of a poor, helpless cartoon basset hound… (well, helpless except for possessing a few bazookas, tanks, guns, and maybe a missile or two…)
but we can see right through him, now that he has shown his true colors.
I take offence at that.
I was a Fuller Brush Man in my high school days. I and my coworkers were
nothing
like the majority of used car salesmen; or a measurable number of new car salesmen either.
Before anyone says I’m guilty of stereotyping myself, I used to have to deal with used car salesmen. There wasn’t a one of them I’d trust to return my wallet.
How can anyone dislike a black cat.
Just look at how dignified she/he looks. 🙂
i like the elegance, and the way her tail curls.
The Queen surveys her jungle surroundings.
Beautiful!

He’s in a bowling alley.
What do you expect – it’s a screenshot from “The Big Lebowski” after all…

And Paul’s face never did grow up!

Sorry, Nighthawks, but them’s the breaks.
Just a refraction.
Or an INfraction. 😃
@StelBel.. (or for that matter, anyone interested):
Yesterday afternoon, my time, which was perhaps a bit late for other places,
I left replies to several of your comments or replies about Salami…
About the dancer, herself, and her name, that 8-minute video, and, yes, about the tendency of her costumes to be… a bit unstable.
…
I don’t know whether anybody saw them, so i thought I’d mention it here.
I’m very glad if you enjoyed my original review.

I don’t think this has a title, but here is a link to the ARTIST who claims it as his.
You are getting sleepy………
Or dizzy.
Or sick…
Enjoy the mustard as long as there is some.
I didn’t know there was a shortage until you drew our attention to it. Here is a link to a CANADIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION article on it.
There’ll always be a Mustard
And Mustard shall be free
If Mustard means as much to you
As Mustard means to me
Bad harvests (three in a row) in France and also in Canada this time.
Hamburgers too, we can depend on you
Relish remains
These are the chains
Nothing can break
In the Library, with a paper plate….
eating hot dogs… What a mess.
Brought over from today’s “Ripley’s….”
