Remember, I get the comics first this time!

Last time, you tore “Fred Basset” before I saw it!

Why? BT has no copyright on the word “telephone”.

Meanwhile, I hope when Superman visits London he brings his umbrella.

Is it related to the lady wearing a dining table for a dress? Or the guy with a tricycle stuck in the wall?

Why does the harness go over one front leg?

A) She’s clueless on how to put it on.
B) Someone was so excited for a walk he wouldn’t stand still.

I’m leaning towards B).

Weird, at a quick glance the snail’s reflection looks like a hand at the end of a dark sleeve.

The computer operator may have his mouse on the left side (like I do.) The photographer doesn’t get any choice — all the buttons are backwards! Everyone else is a northpaw!

I never thought about this till I just tried it….

But I discovered that….

… if you mime sweeping with a broom, I think you’ll see, too, that you automatically use your weaker hand to hold the stick at the top, loosely enough to let your other hand move it, and your stronger hand to guide and put downward pressure on it in the middle.

I actually can’t make myself do it the other way.

The camera is a big heavy one… I think you hold it in your stronger hand.

So if it’s only one person, I think the fellow in the red apron, using the broom, is the left handed one.

I’m right-handed…

But….
I would use a broom with my stronger hand at the top, just like using a shovel

Though tbh, due to the work I used to do, I would use either hand to do most jobs.

Just of curiosity… Did you actually try it?

I did…
I basically forced myself to hold the top with my right hand, but I just can’t put proper pressure on the broom or guide it with my left hand in the middle.

You must be a little more ambidextrous than I am. 🙂

Spoiler
I tried it too — left hand on top. Very awkward to try the other way round.

Having read NAR, I know that it is
the waitress. Wait staff serve with their dominant hand, thus carrying the tray with their other hand.

Sorry… what is red NAR?

Anyway…

it’s confusing.
I think you’re correct if that’s a tray she’s carrying with the dishes on it.

But i thought she was going to set that whole thing down in front of the customer, using, as you say, her dominant hand.

The artist certainly didn’t make it clear.

Ok… I did some searching, and found one site that gives the answer.

It’s an Indian newspaper and it doesn’t sound like they originated the puzzle.

It does say

that
it’s the server who’s left handed.

Yet

I see that…
there are at least three of us here whose experience says it’s the person sweeping 🧹.

I think there’s a possibility that the puzzle designer didn’t realize the differences in how people sweep, or designed the image wrong…

Who knows, maybe it was even flipped in the printing.

So I’m going to assert that there are TWO lefties in the image!

Here I come with the solution…. are you ready?

Be sure you’ve given it your best shot… Wait, let me rephrase that!

You don’t want to make any trouble when Sam Basset is on the job.
No pulling out any weapons… and I would include figurative ones.

Just do your best, and don’t peek!

If you do take even the slightest glance…. don’t leave any clues for our super sleuth. That’s difficult, so it’s best not to try.

Just follow Sam’s lead… And solve this case on your own.

Then you can come back and

compare solutions HERE!

Nine for me too. After checking Susan’s answers I don’t feel too bad about the one I missed.

You can’t go wrong with hamburgers… Or pasta sauce, or meat loaf .

It’s about 103° F (39 °C) here right now… But I have figured out how to make the last two in the microwave

Not quite as good but OK.
Buddy won’t mind at all.

For fried chicken, there’s always …
