I read part of that last night, to check my facts, though I quit when it got way too detailed about who bought and sold and renamed which of the restaurants when…
cos who cares, really, especially as they’re mostly demolished now anyway.
That stuff isn’t what Happy³ asked.. and I didn’t reply because I hadn’t seen the answer.
I just skimmed the whole thing again now… And I still don’t think it answers the question of what happened to Bob.
…
Depending on which Bob, of course.
The image in the logo is still being used for the signage and menus at the few remaining Bob’s Big Boys…
The original, living, Bob, the founder, is gone, unless he’s well over 100 years old.
….
But I was assuming we were talking about the giant Bobs that stood outside the Big Boy restaurants.
I think a few are still employed…
The others have probably gone on to that great, giant-mascot gathering place beyond the rainbow…
…
There, they drink coffee with all the 22 foot cowboys and loggers, laugh with the Jack in the Box clowns, and toss balls for the weird looking Doggie Diner dachshunds.
They probably milk the giant fiberglass cows, and give them treats made of fiberglass hay.
…
I hope all the tall floppy inflatable guys go there too…the ones with vacuum cleaners blowing air inside, so they dance all day outside big car sales and furniture store openings.
I’m sure it’s very tiring… They deserve some coffee too.
Do you mean that fine white squiggle… kind of S-shaped… but it looks almost like two hooks… on the purple building, just past BatBasset’s ear?
I’m sure that’s a glitch…. accidental damage to the image from a stray movement.
But you’re right, in some puzzles in the past it would have been almost enough to qualify as a difference… though probably an actual difference still wouldn’t look so random.
I didn’t even notice it. And probably Nighthawks didn’t either.
Good eyes!
….
To my mind (but I don’t know about Nighthawks) you did find nine, if that made you stop looking.
Alexi too, if that was it.
….
Since its notreally a difference, I guess you don’t need a spoiler tag to answer.
I looked at this last night and got all nine. Checked again this morning and still got the nine. Checked Susan’s solution and, yep, got them all. YAY!!

They are a product of engineers at NASA.

As maneuverable as they were western fighters could out climb it.
I don’t remember who said it but new pilots in the pacific were told not to fight Zeros. You climbed above them and attacked from above.
sweet and sour chicken
I may have to make that next week.
Me too!
Mine’s a little less sugary, and not deep fried… But it’s good.
Or I’ll cheat and get the candy kind at Panda Express. Hey, I’m not perfect.
you just gave me the answer to the age-old question……what’s for dinner tonight!

A family portrait for StelBel?
Oh, wait… her feathers are just a costume.
But this guy looks like somebody’s aristocratic Grandpa.
From yesterday.
“What happened to Bob?”
You got me wondering… LINK

There’s one outside a museum in Hillsboro, OR.
I just found the other two.
For a moment I thought you meant the “other two” giant Bobs.
LOL.
What a nice looking puzzle tonight!
Great colors, and I absolutely love the BatBasset signal!
….
You may have to look a wee bit harder than last week… After all, it’s nighttime. But I assure you, the differences are all in plain sight.
Have fun… And when you’ve found them all, or done your very best… and remember, BatBasset knows….
Dang, I am stuck at 8. Will check again in the AM.
One IS pretty small… But when you see it, you go “of course!”
Of Course!
I got seven right off the bat.
Pun intended.
I just found the other two.
I managed to find all nine, took me three tries though. I was blind to one of them due to another being next to it.
I missed an official one, but when I found nine clear differences, I stopped looking.
If it’s a glitch, it’s a big one.
Since you know how to do a spoiler… where do you see the 10th difference?
I can’t find a teeny one, so far, much less a big one.
I agree, if you are talking about those white lines, yes, I quit looking also!
Aha!
I’m sure that’s a glitch…. accidental damage to the image from a stray movement.
But you’re right, in some puzzles in the past it would have been almost enough to qualify as a difference… though probably an actual difference still wouldn’t look so random.
I didn’t even notice it. And probably Nighthawks didn’t either.
Good eyes!
….
To my mind (but I don’t know about Nighthawks) you did find nine, if that made you stop looking.
Alexi too, if that was it.
….
Since its not really a difference, I guess you don’t need a spoiler tag to answer.
Thanks, it’s been so many hours since the puzzle I figured no point in trying the spoiler alert, lol, so we get credit for nine, wow hoo!
Well… That’s from me.
I don’t know the “official” Nighthawks count…
Or StelBel, either.
I THINK they’d say OK….
But … LOL… even though I get a seven figure salary here ($0000.000 a year!) I don’t get to hand out the ribbons.
But you are in upper management! Lol
The lines are indeed what I saw as a difference.
I looked at this last night and got all nine. Checked again this morning and still got the nine. Checked Susan’s solution and, yep, got them all. YAY!!
i found 8 last night, and just got up to find #9 just staring at me. it felt great finding them all!
I got eight. I’m good with that! 😀
What a timely FTND tonight.

Good What’s the Diff? Saturday Morning!
Y’all get away and splurge on yourselves. (((((HuGz!)))))

Brought over from today’s “The Comic Strip…”
I gotta go steal that for a text a friend that thinks that fishing is stupid and boring. 😀
I will tell that to my sister tomorrow.
Cherish is the word I use to describe, my appreciation for the efforts of Stel & Nighthawks.
wish I could like that more than just once
thank you!
Well that’s one smile, me to you. But there have been many more smiles, snickers, and guffaws you’ve given me.
Agreed!
Quick, nimble, highly maneuverable , it was the scourge of the pacific skies early on
in WW2.

He who fights and runs away,
lives to fight another day.
that was early on….by 1943-4 the new allied airplanes made the zero obsolete
I just saw this.How timely.
The very real deaths chronicled on the film footage from both sides; and the human race is still doing it worldwide today.
I give you Buffy Sainte-Marie. The opening monologue by her in answer to a question we do not hear is stunning.
The eleven foot eight plus eight bridge get’s a new victim!
And, if you listen real well, you can hear his reaction. 😀
Happy, what does the plus 8 mean?
They lifted the bridge and lowered the road so it’s now actually 12 feet and 4 inches.
