This one is so obvious to me that I squinted at it to see if there was anything else.
If there is, I have to confess I missed it.

Another Oleg Shuplyak from Nighthawks ….

the same Hungarian artist who did a prior painting that Nighthawks posted and also that illusionistic “Van Gogh”.

And this is from Italian artist Guido Daniele

who likes to paint on living canvas:

I had never seen nor heard of “It Happens Every Spring” until yesterday.
Based on the mere humans’ poster, I wasn’t particularly interested in either the human or (even though superior to the human) basset movie
Until, that is, Susan’s intimation that Disney used it as a springboard for “Flubber.”
I went and found it online.
 
 
LINK TO: “IT HAPPENS EVERY SPRING”
 
 
It is officially listed as a comedy, but I would class it as a “dramedy” in today’s classifications.
It is an hour and a half well spent, regardless of how I classify it.
You’ll have to click “x” on one or more ads, but as long as you do, the film will be there in good order.
 
As side notes:
 
1) Disney’s citing of the spit ball in “How to Play Baseball,” posted by Old Phart Plods, says that what “Kelley” was doing in “It Happens Every Spring” likely wasn’t even illegal at that time.
2) Note that the U.S. flag in “How to Play Baseball” (1942) has only 48 stars.
Alaska wasn’t a state until Saturday, January 3, 1959 (49th;    ☃    BRRRR    ☃    ), and Hawaii joined the union on Friday, August 21, 1959 (50th and last state to the present   â€” Washington D.C? — and what will Olympia have to say?).

Si, senor. President Skroob popped one open after taking a call from a citizen.

As president of Planet Spaceball, I can assure both you and your viewers that there’s absolutely no air shortage whatsoever. Yes, of course. I’ve heard the same rumor myself. Yes, thanks for calling and not reversing the charges. Bye. [hangs up]

Oh great… just when I really have to go to bed…

PLEASE, guys… don’t post any visible spoilers!

In case you simply must give an answer or a hint…

if you haven’t tried it yet… this is easy:

Highlight the words you want to hide (mouse over them so they turn blue) ….

Click below on the [+] symbol…

and type “Spoiler” … or whatever you like… in the grey box that appears.

Click “Submit comment”.

We will see whatever words you typed in the grey box, but none that you highlighted, until we click there.

It’s comment magic!

THANK YOU!

As English is your second language, the term “spoiler” means someone is giving a solution to a puzzle, or the ending to a story away to someone else who wanted to solve the puzzle or read the story’s ending on their own.
The person giving the solution or ending away is not very much appreciated.
 
I’ve also added an attachment showing how to use the “Spoiler Title” box.
I hope I’ve made it clear enough.

“what are the common phrases?” is what I don’t understand.

I pretty darn well know what a spoiler is.
And how to use the “spoiler”-thingy (having used and explained it at the very dawn of this site).

Two things:
 
1) I’m guilty of not reading who you actually replied to which led to the rest. Apologies
 
2) Some examples of common English phrases of the type needed for the solutions in nighthawks’ posting….
 
a) You’re out of your tree.
b) Are you sure about that?
c) Garbage in; garbage out.
d) Pie in the sky.
e) Hedging your bets.

These are my answers …

I don’t know 4, 11, or 15, and I’m not totally convinced about 5.

If I have any guesses I gave them.

1.

I’m pretty sure.
A chicken in every pot

2.

Must be
Pace back and forth.

3.

I really think…
Son of a Gun

4. Don’t know. Had an idea but don’t think it’s correct.

5.

Probably.
Check three times.

6.

OK..
Pennies from heaven.

7.

Pretty obvious
Cross country

8.

yes.
A face in the crowd.

9.

Took me a bit.
Topless dancer.

10.

Pretty sure.
Deep sea fishing.

11. I don’t know.

12.

Obvious.
Take one before every meal.

13.

Gotta be.
Shrinking violet

14.

Funny.
Middle of the road.

15.

I don’t know but
maybe full of pep? I don’t really think so.

16.

Took me a while too.

Pretty much what I got. I thought #15 was pep rally, but I like yours better. # 11 is a mystery. I thought #4 was something about diagonal parking. #5 I thought was check and double check. Thanks for 16 ~ I couldn’t come close to that.

Indiana Bones… fastest and slowest explorer in history.

In today’s short animation, he has run partway through the ancient cave…. snared a stalactite with his bullwhip, swung across a dangerous chasm … and run some more.

But then…. his furious pace will be slowed by a one week interval before he takes another step.

Gasp.

What goes through his mind as he waits in that spooooky cave….

Will something jump out of the darkness to GRAB him when he’s frozen in place, unable to move a muscle until next Friday?

Nah… nothing will happen…

He and the scary, ancient cave denizens, if there are any such, will be in suspended animation.

At least in my town, the school food service came up huge by cranking out free take-out meals for anyone who needed one, no questions asked. They would even give you two meals to cover a breakfast & lunch. In at least some instances they handed out meals to get people through a weekend.
Several of the voc-tech high schools used aid to food banks and shelters as ways to engage their students. Meals were prepared, packaged, and delivered. One school had their carpentry & construction trades students build a dugout for a HS baseball field.
Kudos to all of them for finding a way to pitch in at a time of need around the country. It kept working people employed, hungry people fed, and HS students able to learn. Those kids got some valuable lessons about responsibility, maturity, and citizenship, along with their standard HS curriculum, that they will carry with them for their entire adult lifetimes.

Indy will not escape because the evil cat has planned all of it. Indy will be dragged back to the hole and dropped into the bottomless pit where Indy will be eaten by the live kibbles inside the jar.
