Nope.
I wanna go home now.
Seriously, that brings out the recluse/introvert in me so bad.
Like i said yesterday, i want to stand under breathing trees.
On several sites, it was offered for sale as a photo of a New York City subway car.
However, there were links to at least half a dozen very similar images that were labeled AI by their creators. Or “creators.”
Considering the regularity of the supposed grime and stains…. ie all the seats in the same black and orange stripes… and the colors of the graffiti.. plus the fact that the view into the next car looks like outdoors instead….
I call AI on this one too.
Besides, I’ve seen film and photos of real NYC subways, including short YouTube videos of a fellow who draws portraits of his fellow subway passengers, and they never looked like this.
My minister’s wife (in the 70s) told the story of her college roommate who was dating two guys. They each took her to see Lawrence of Arabia on the same day (matinee and evening).
Okay…. tracked it to a source, where it is called “AI modified, wallpaper, Digital Art design.”
My search showed many very similar designs, some probably human created, without the creepy artifacts.
Don’t forget, AI programs copy and store thousands of real artworks, and paste bits or try to replicate styles into whatever you’re trying to “create”, without any human understanding of what constitutes, for example, a real dog face.
One with three eyes or without a nose is all the same to AI.
Yes. The two stars you name are obvious, and I can’t see Tony Curtis either. I thought I knew one of the other young women, but I checked the cast list on IMDb and she’s not on it, so I must have been wrong.
Oh, and one
Did you know it was one of the only album covers ever to carry neither its title nor the name of the band on the front?
Their manager said he did it to show that they were so famous it was unnecessary.
Of course their human copydogs just had to do the same thing.

Paul says he was barefoot because it was hot, so his feet swelled a bit, and his new shoes hurt. This crossing was right outside their studio, so he left them behind.
Meanwhile, all the crazy theories had just started about Paul having died and being replaced. Some people insisted that his bare feet were a signal. Sigh….
…
Meanwhile…. Hope you’re finding all nine differences!
I have found a new comic. New to me. It was mentioned on the new comic on GoComics, Fur Babies. Keven & Kell. Its by Bill Holbrook. A name i know. So how did i miss a comic about bunnies and dogs? I’m so badly hooked that i have binged five years worth in about four days.
Did i mention the bunnies?
And i can call them dogs because they are domesticated.
Hall & Oates has got to be one of the most prolific artists i have ever heard.
And i don’t know anyone that has anything bad to say about them.
Good band. 🙂
I guess maybe no one says anything bad about them if you don’t count each other.
They rarely got along even in their heyday, known for squabbling and arriving separately at gigs, and now it pops up in my news feeds that one is suing the other…
I think it’s Hall suing Oates… for trying to sell his half of their rights without both signatures, which would be required under their contract.
I do like their music… instant earworms… but when I first heard it, in the days of hard edge rock and roll, and being a fan of the the Ramones and such, I called it teenybopper music.
Now “You’re a Rich Girl” or “Sara Smiles” is much more likely to be running through my mind than forgotten Ramones and Devo songs.

They look like toy doughnuts… so I’m hoping!
How could you not like this photo?

They’re shabby but they do get cleaned.
Ditto. My eyes also said something was off, though my brain doesn’t know why. Too… regular? A little too plastic-looking?

What is this cat supposed to be focused on, right in its face?
I think it’s a rodent.
Cat’s got a fiddle?
I can almost see that. It wouldn’t take much manipulating to make it even better.
Sorry, but rodent!
I’ve heard of snowcats, but this is ridiculous. No way does this thing clear a ski trail.
This is either:
a) ritual sacrifice.
b) the kinkiest thing I’ve ever seen.
c) what I call great dinner theater.
d) all of the above.

It’s a Disney Mickey Mouse cartoon: “The Whoopee Party” from from (as near as I can tell) 1932.

Okay, a lot of funky-looking dogs in there, a few cute ones, some random filler. Now what?
Some very creepily partial.
Makes me wonder whether AI isn’t involved.
Can you find the dog?
I looked for a cat. Nope.

Thanks… That was my autocorrect, between typing and posting.
Gotta see whether it’ll let me “uncorrect” it.
One of the hazards of using a virtual android keyboard.

Man, the birds really have it in for that guy.
You’ve heard of a perpetual motion machine? I give you, the eternally writhing snake.
Ouroboros?
If it has a head, and a tail to swallow, maybe.
Meanwhile the title of a memorable episode of Red Dwarf.

Same to you, buddy.
Giraffes spend a lot of time in the blazing sun.
They have prehensile tongues, up to nearly 2 feet long, and use them to reach overhead into tall trees to find food.
The tongue color is thought to be dark because the excess melanin helps to protect them from getting sunburned, high in the canopy overhead.
Why blue or purple instead of black or brown isn’t really known, or wasn’t last I heard.
Oh right.
It’s good to have a marketable skill.
And palms of steel.
I wonder if squeezing the lid breaks the seal, allowing it to be opened easier.
I think that’s the idea…
I do that sometimes by tapping with the handle of a table knife.
Pressure on the sides of the lid pops the seal.
The iconic cover of the Bassets’ “Doggy Road.”
Wow, that takes me back.

Eight. I guessed one wrong.
I feel reasonably sure i have found all nine differmints. We’ll see soon enough.

I have found a new comic. New to me.
It was mentioned on the new comic on GoComics, Fur Babies.
Keven & Kell. Its by Bill Holbrook. A name i know.
So how did i miss a comic about bunnies and dogs?
I’m so badly hooked that i have binged five years worth in about four days.
Did i mention the bunnies?
And i can call them dogs because they are domesticated.
What are you thinking about, baby?
I think he’s giving the side-eye to whoever gave him a little blanket printed with bunny predators.
Reminds me of Gary Larson – a nearly featherless bird and the owner puts a night-blanket like that over the cage…
I can’t find Keven & Kell on gocomics, I found it’s web page.
I went looking too.
The U,R.L. below will take you to today’s posting and the “Archive” link will give you everything back to the beginning.

It’s not on GoComics. Someone there mentioned it to me so i went looking.
Out of curiosity.
I fell down a rabbit hole.
Kevin and Kell is on King Features aka Comics Kingdom.
Because we can’t get the original Bassets, humans having no access to BassetTube…. all we can get is the human version….
They were about to break up, also tired of their old style, though that’s not the reason for the breakup…. arguing, writing songs separately…
Yet they still managed to help send the musical world in new directions…
Giving new meaning to the phrase “Taking the Hog for a ride.”

Except maybe this one…
