A publicity still of Guy Williams as Zorro and Annette Funicello for what is an edited together movie from the television series titled: “The Sign of Zorro”.
Annette Funicello’s character’s name, Anita Cabrillo, (from the television episodes the character appeared in) was apparently edited out in the movie; that is if she appeared in it at all, the cast list on the IMDB site doesn’t list her as a member of the edited product.
None of my comics-reading sites have it either (somebody wants $270.00 for their copy).

I looked that up too, but I was.. um.. resting my eyes when you commented.

According to what I found, all the footage in the movie was clipped from scenes in the television show, and it sure didn’t look like they included any bits with Annette.

She’d wanted to be in the TV show. Walt Disney supposedly gave her a role as a 16th birthday present.

However, in 1955, when she was already becoming enormously popular, she had signed a seven year contract with Disney.

The Mickey Mouse Club ended in 1958, and Disney did give her movie roles.

She wasn’t included in this pastiche of a movie, but her face could sell tickets, and Disney could still pretty much do what they wanted with her image.

What often strikes me, seeing these big city images, is not how different everyday life appeared to be over 100 years ago…

But how similar.

The commissioning party only paid for 1/2 a portrait, didn’t he?

I just learned some of these (this one among them) are made out of sugar and given as gifts to children for them to enjoy.

The ones for children are usually pretty simple, and quite edible, depending on your tolerance for the crunchy white sugar you can see that they’re made of.

It’s exactly like eating those fancy sugar cubes they used to sell for tea parties, with hard icing flowers on them.

Ones like this, that are painted and dyed, and thus inedible, aren’t given to children… that would be dangerous and wasteful.

They’re placed on the offrenda, a small home altar or shrine dedicated to deceased family members for Day of the Dead… El Dia de los Muertos.

They’re gifts to them in the afterlife…

They can’t eat, but they can see all the work that was done on their behalf, and know that their living family still loves and has not forgotten them.

Thanks for the clarification.
This one is made of sugar by my research; but I should have listened to my cynicism meter regarding the gifting.
I didn’t.

Isn’t that generally a good thing? When you get home after a hard day, the last thing you want is something jumping out at you right away.

It did jump out at me, cos it looks like several stylized panda logos, including those of the World Wildlife Federation and

Panda Express.

OMG!

Hot Tuna is Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, two original members of Jefferson Airplane.

Taking on a few people the Airplane basically split into Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna.

IIRC, they’re a little older than baby boomers, but not a lot.

I know we’re all aging, but somehow this startles me.

Today’s Songs:
‘Stuck In The Middle With You,’ ‘Sukiyaki’ ( in translation, the actual title is ‘I Look Up As I Walk’),’ ‘Summer in the City,’ and ‘Sugar, Sugar,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe ‘Bountiful Banaa Bread.’
I just learned they were a Scottish band.
It’s a lament, the poor guy got dumped (in-spirit translated lyrics accompany the video / 1961 over 13,000,000 singles sold worldwide).
The two founders met at the New York City apartment of Ellen Naomi Cohen (you might know her better by her stage name; Mama Cass Elliot) on the night in 1964 when ‘The Beatles’ played on Ed Sullivan.
…….Aaaaaand some catchy bubblegum pop to end today’s selections ( MontanaLady’s earworm? )..
I haven’t made banana bread in years. I’ll try this recipe in December too. I like my mother’s recipe, but this one uses butter and brown sugar, my mother’s uses lard or vegetable shortening and white sugar; she never added raisins either.

Summer in the City is an old favorite that has been played out. The rest are still great to hear. I saw “Archie”, Ron Dante, filling in for one of the two remaining Turtles. It was a great performance but sad at the same time. I’m drawing a blank on the names of the two who went as “Flo & Eddie” for a while, but one was sick (replaced by Dante) and the other had dementia. He could sing very well and remembered all the lyrics, but required guidance around the stage.

True that this iteration of the Do Not Touch button doesn’t seem as dangerous as the ones that transported Claude to outer space or some prehistoric epoch…

But he’s now marked as a patsy in indelible yellow, and will be noticed, and then sought, called, spammed and pounced upon by every con artist in Cleveland, and probably on the whole internet.

Don’t open those emails, Claude.

Walk right past that guy with the “great deal” for you.

They may eventually forget about you, in a hundred years o4 so.

In keeping with nighthawks’ answer to me     HERE,     … I’ve put the notification of GoComics’ “great-fall-enhancement” (my designation) of Friday, December 29, 2022 in the spoiler box.
There have been no updates that I can find in its blog, “X” account, or Facebook account.
Either Instagram has no “public” setting, or it was never posted to (I’m not joining if it’s the former).
Anyway, all that appears to have happened thus far in the great-fall-enhancement is the barring of posting U.R.L.s.
The banning of commenters for no discernible reason seems to have tapered off a bit as well, but there’s still tomorrow for that to get back on track.
They still have until 22:27 hrs. Eastern Standard Time Thursday, December 21, 2023 for the g.f.e. to come to fruition.
 

The notice written December 5 posted December 9, 2022.

Put chicken or chicken-parts into a pot
Add onions to taste (ginger too if you wish)
Add a pinch of salt
Just cover with water
Cover the pot
Bring to a boil
Let it simmer for 15 minutes
Turn off the heat
Let it sit as is for half an hour (or longer)
Take out the chicken and bone it – it’s fully cooked, but still juicy, use it in ragout or with any condiments or for sandwiches or add noodles
The soup is delicious as is, but you may add some pumpkin, cut in bite-sized pieces, and some freshly ground black pepper
You may use the bones to make soup, too – collect them in a bag in the freezer.
