The face doesn’t look photoshopped at all….

But I had to take a second look to figure out where his belly and haunches went.

I can just picture what my Mom would have said…

You think she’d say “Oh, how beautiful!” “Thank you for all that work!”??
Not a chance.

She’d say “Pull down my skirt! Everyone can see my underwear!!”

Comparing it to the identification chart I posted yesterday, I’d say that this is a bird!

I couldn’t figure out which it was supposed to be… But it was on the sea floor, and a fantasy, so I went with octopus.

Interesting… I just had to look this up.

Bray was one of the very earliest silent animation studios, starting with cartoons in 2012, and moving into live action two reelers, WWI government training films, and eventually, a couple of sound cartoons. It closed in 1929.

A lot of famous names started with them… like the Fleischer brothers, who started Out Of The Inkwell there… and later, on their own, created Popeye and Betty Boop.

Walter Lanz directed this short, in 1927, but in his own studio later created Woody Woodpecker. And Clyde Geronomi, whose signature is on this, became a famous Disney animator.

The anonymous cat looks like both Krazy Kat, who had already left Bray, and Felix, who was never a Bray property. But with rivalries rampant in the industry, and artists, animators and directors changing studios and re-forming partnerships, everybody copied the trends.

Where does a puppy get a jar of jam at what looks like an optometrist’s office?

And how would he open it?

I hope no one was foolish enough to give it to him!

Just a couple of years before One Times Square was built… You can see the spot just waiting for it.

I thought it would be possible to see a building or two from 1900 still standing in the 2021 shot… but I can’t make one out.

I think even if there are any, they’ve changed facades by now.

We did this one, quite a while back….

Hint…

I had found the daisy shape (it’s pretty obvious) but rejected it as the answer because it doesn’t look like an actual flower. Then it turned out to be the official solution.

Solution…

It’s what looks like six round cookies, sitting on a plate, almost in the lower right corner.

I can’t figure out what was she trying to do….

I don’t recognize the powder she’s pouring into the Coke… it’s quite possibly in another country, so the packaging might just be unfamiliar.

But she puts on the cap and shakes the bottle, standing back as much as she can… So she must know it’s going to explode.

What is it?

Dunno… But they’re usually not so powdery… or they weren’t back in ancient days when i had any.

That’s what I thought, but the bag doesn’t look like a package for that.

Probably a powder form of Mentos, or what makes them up. Mentos into coke/diet coke (can’t remember which) causes this effect.

But in that case that affect is instantaneous. No time to screw on a top.

And Mentos, like Pop Rocks, are candy… I don’t know why either would come as a big bag of powder.

In the frame I isolated, it looks like the bag might say “SHO… something”.

I was thinking baking soda and vinegar, but the reaction is too slow. I do know that when the internal pressure hits about, what, thirty PSI, the top will unscrew itself. I have built toy rockets using this principal. I used a latching mechanism to pump more pressure in.

Here it is with sound (and a bunch of other stuff too).
You’ll have to start the sound.

Oh my …

Here it comes again….

Every few years, I blush to see my childhood movie… the one I never knew StelBel would immortalize with a poster….

And I’d be on it!

(blush)

….

I was very little… trying to be an actress.

I was cast as a basset puppy, because I speak basset. But it’s a small, hot, itchy costume…. and the legs were short.

I did get to wear my Merkeley Brontessori T-shirt, at least.

And anyway, it was fun learning to be a princess…. I guess I’ve never forgotten how.

Seems kind of a strange photo for publicizing an intense, ultimately very sad movie that was shocking for its time.

It involves a lying, manipulative child making accusations of lesbianism that completely ruined the two woman’s lives, which probably wouldn’t happen today… but some theaters wouldn’t show it back then.

Haven’t seen the film, or read the synopsis (until now), but I thought it was a good profile photo of the three stars.

The attachment is from today’s London “Daily Mail” (which is the reason for the video / if I’ve heard it before today, I’ve forgotten when).
