Hmmm…you could put together a story from this. A young lady, probably from a proper middle-class family based on her clothing and posture. Alone in the city. That looks like a menu, so likely in a small restaurant. It’s night time, so I hope she lives nearby. Is this her only chance to escape her small room and be with other people? Maybe she’s working in a store or an office. Does she have a chance for advancement or adventure?
What will happen outside of that window in a few seconds that will change the entire course of her life?
Chris VanAllsburg created a series of pencil illustrations that did not accompany a story. It seemed an invitation to create a story that fits with the
cryptic illustrations. like these:
it really was…and the personalities were so much more varied and human…
heck , I can’t even name more than two or three current day pro tennis players.
but when you had folks like Evert, Court, Billie Jean, Conners, Borg, McEnroe among many others, pro tennis was……just better
Hannibal Lecter: You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition’s given you some length of bone, but you’re not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?
PS… I wouldn’t let my kid sit there, just to get a “cute” picture to post on the Internet. Some kids would be traumatized if they saw that mouth.
I had nightmares about some fish with teeth I saw behind glass when I was about 4, cos someone teased that they were coming to eat me. Imagine a lion who really IS!
As I said, there appears to be a crack down on posting cartoons.
Where it’s coming from I don’t know, but what was once a relatively easy search and find is now more and more annoying.
The cartoon’s title is “Long-Haired Hare” from 1949 and it’s available at vimeo (surprisingly it did post as a video, they usually don’t).
I can rarely find any full cartoons posted to YouTube so I can’t just “Copy video URL” anymore.
She was already going with Sonny… he helped her get the gig.
Bonnie Jo Mason was never her name… It was made up for the record, sort of a trial stage name.
His idea was to make her a star, not them.
But she wanted him to sing with her, because she had terrible stage fright… She preferred looking at him to making eye contact with the audience.
BTW this is not an official video for the song… there isn’t one.
On YouTube it says fan video.
The person who uploaded it pieced clips together, from various times and places.
I read somewhere that some radio stations wouldn’t play the record because with her deep voice for a woman, they thought she was a gay man singing to Ringo.
11 years ago (!!) today…. a lazy, greedy, wise-cracking (in thought balloons), eventually-to-be upright-walking, vocal, and bazooka-toting, but somehow always lovable basset hound waddled onto Comics Sherpa, and into our hearts.
She’s now a famous basset movie star and diva, with her own site, where we come every day to pay tribute.
Thank you Nighthawks… And Happy Birthday Cleo and Company!

Get your head inside, please!
I know it’s hard.
I have to roll the window up above 35. Crazy girl would stick her head out the window at 55.
People think it’s cute, or the dog has a right to do it.
But it’s amazing how much stuff flies around on the road….
Low branches, kicked up gravel, yellowjackets…
Not to mention the crazy dogs who jump out after a rabbit.
Oh boy! Skunk!
Little Fawn is more interested in the open window than Buddy.
“What? A little rain never hurt anyone.”
So where are the nine differences?
And you beat me to this one!
(See Witchita Lineman..)

BTW … It’s not really a Hopper…. someone trying to recreate his style.
But it was a New Yorker cover, and we do those as puzzles too.

now let that imagination run wild
I was surprised when I read “continuously occupied” so I looked it up.
Apparently the tribal property consists of 95,000 acres, with a population of about 4500…
But about 150 of them currently live in the original adobe structure.
those New Mexico dwellings sure outlasted this New York building going up in 1965 or so…….of course nobody crashed jets into them either
Chris Evert
When tennis was a technical rather than a power game.
it really was…and the personalities were so much more varied and human…
heck , I can’t even name more than two or three current day pro tennis players.

But I’d still love to have you for dinner…
Somebody’s gotta post it….
Beat me to it!
Yikes!
I hope that’s glass!
Ok, I assume that’s glass.
I hope that baby doesn’t turn around!

I don’t want to tell you how long I looked at this seeing a dog playing with a rubber doll…
I wish!
That’s a good clip to show to anyone lamenting the public’s lack of proximity to the animals in zoos.
Oh my lord.

Got it.
Me too.
I’m posting a solution, in case you’d like to see where I found it.
It’s a fun puzzle, though… so I hope you’ll try searching first. I don’t want to tempt anybody to give up!
But when you’re ready to compare…..
BTW… Yesterday’s puzzle with the supposed star in the flowers was IMHO impossible to solve at that resolution, or maybe any resolution.
I just commented on it there.
Tricky! I found it easily yesterday, now today it’s vanished!
Same 🙂
Okay, I believe you…
Another one that im’ going to be looking at all day.
I think i got it, halfway through the day.

Car guys?
I’ve just gotta say, the 427 shoehorned into some of those Cobras was TOUGH to work on! But fun (I was more limber then).
Sonny does appear.
She released this as Bonnie Jo Mason (she would be 17 or 18 here / 78 now / time flies).
…and just because…(the voice of doom).
She was already going with Sonny… he helped her get the gig.

I thought it was kind of “jumpy,” but I was too lazy to do any more research. Thanks.

she STILL appears to have on have some million-year-old eyeliner

Thank you Nighthawks… And Happy Birthday Cleo and Company!
It’s my husband’s birthday, too.
Happy birthday to him, but I’ll bet he can’t match her ears. Or if he can, I’ll bet you make him tie them back at the dinner table. {^¿^}
…guess we’re going to a party party….
Cool! 🙂
Happy Birthday Tigressy & Cleo. You go together like cats & dogs.
I did forget!…..thanks, Susan…this is one birthday we just HAVE to recognize!
Happy birthday!
Wish I’d remembered earlier….
I would have posted it higher on the page.
Earlier still, I would have reminded you, too.
The thing is, I remembered in February to look up the date, but it slipped my mind again, till I was almost ready for bed.
I have got to get those holes repaired.
Congratulations (and thank you) for 11 years of Cleo.
Happy birthday to both “Cleo and Company” and Tigressy’s husband.
Cleo ! ! ! it’s ONE cake apiece.

Sorry… You give no description, and the link doesn’t work for me.
Could be because I’m not on Facebook, though it just says page not working, and that Facebook has been redirecting me too many times.
Facebook links often don’t work on other sites, because you need to log in to see a lot of the content.
I just clicked away the request to log in and had no problem watching the video.
