I want to yell “Get back! Go back to safety!”

But I can’t see where that would even be!

No elevators in those days, even if it’s AI. That’s a lot of climbing! Made it! Where’s the privy? Wait, WHERE???

Not AI, if my sources are correct… and I have no reason to think they’re not, especially as they agree.

This is a copper-plate etching by French printmaker Gérard Trignac… his work is said to be in numerous museums.

Want to guess when it was done?

In the year…..
2000.
I was surprised to read that he was born in 1955.
He started out studying architecture, but then switched to art.
Each detailed plate takes him months to etch.

Not my grandparents. They were standing in line for “The Great Train Robbery…”

My grandparents too… though my Dad’s parents were adolescents in 1903, and probably hadn’t met yet.

My mom’s mother was probably still on her first husband, unless the rumors are true… already in the US but I don’t know whether she spoke English yet. But I think so.

It may not have been the big premiere, but we had a nice, full-sized cinema nearby.
No big crowds, but the blockbusters were there rather fast!
Not to mention the matinees (well; in the early afternoon) on weekends – cheap with movies for the younger audience.

And, other than a few snippets of it in commercials and such, I have never watched it.

Your second pick is correct.

But remember… he was one pretty big dude.

That fellow who is even taller and broader-shouldered

is…
6’6 Clint Walker…. he previously played TV’s Western hero, Cheyenne… but here, Ali is visiting the cast….

on the set of….
The Dirty Dozen

I read that both sides of Velcro are woven with strong nylon loops…. One side softer and fluffier, the other a regular pattern of stiff, upright ones that are cut to make hooks.

So I assume somebody had to go around with teensy tiny scissors and snip all those transparent red ones.

Like lots of stars, she’s not in it.

And no, to the left of Alf

is ..

Lisa Whelchel, next to Nancy Mckeon, both from Facts of Life. The other two girls, Tootie Field and Mindy Cohen, are just below.

I can get almost all…. There are a couple of newer shows I might have mixed up with others, cos all I see of them is very short YouTube clips….

I mean ….
I think that’s the couple from Black-ish, right below Jerry Seinfeld, and the Asian family at the very left, about in the middle, next to the Friends cast, is from Fresh Off the Boat. From the clips I’ve seen, both funny shows.

I don’t know who the fellow is, at lower left in the black sweater, or whether it’s the person or the caricature I don’t recognize. Or the guy diagonally in between Barbara Eden and Will Smith.

The latter is Alfonso Ribeiro who played Will’s cousin Carlton Banks in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.

I figured he might be from that show, cos he’s standing so close.

It’s one of the only shows here that i don’t think I ever watched, so I don’t know all the characters.

Our carrion crow had those, too – and was really grateful when I gently scratched them during molt.

I remember a couple of these in the entrance to the toy department of Woodward’s department store. (ca. 1960) I think they were showing Popeye cartoons.

I love those machines!

There used to be a museum downstairs at the Cliff House in San Francisco, and another on the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, both full of wonderful old machines… flipcard viewers like this one, often showing bits of silent films, like the gunfight from a Western…

Gypsy Fortune Tellers that moved slightly, and dispensed your fortune on a little card, or a picture of your future husband (looking suspiciously like Rudolf Valentino or Tom Mix)…. “love testers”, where squeezing a grip made a pointer show the strength of your love … all kinds of machines.

You paid a little bit of admission, so many of them still operated for the original penny or nickel. The cards dispensed were reprints, but not modernized.

But you can see that this one’s a girlie show. Forerunner of later peep shows…. now YouTube videos.

There aren’t a lot of ways to embarrass a shameless basset, who steals, tries to dynamite squirrels, and defies other social conventions at every opportunity….

But I think Claude has found one!
Well, of course, it was Nighthawks who gave him the idea.
That’s only cos Nighthawks gives him pretty much all his ideas, whether he knows it or not

Anyway… time for you to get the idea that you can find nine things different between these two panels… but don’t worry… Cleo’s embarrassed in both of them.

Check out what I found at the check-out….

Right HERE!

We can post a lot more stuff here.. videos, images, interesting (or not😁) memories and stories, without being told it’s not relevant…. all thanks to Nighthawks.

And if you haven’t read Cleo and Company….. it’s a great strip!
