On first scrolling down to this photo, I thought at first that it was some leathery face on a ski lift of some sort. Maybe that’s not such a bad metaphor after all.
As a model, the big error is how close the towers are together. Towers are expensive, so in real life they put them as far apart as the design of the line/structure allows. In the UK, 400kV transmission towers are 450m (Approx 1/4 mile) apart on a straight run on flat(ish) ground.
Another one where it’s impossible to tell what’s supposed to be a mistake and what’s artistic license, or simply unintentional poor drawing, like parts of the ottoman being at odd angles.
One that I do consider a “mistake”
is this:
The face of the clock… For one thing, it’s divided in 8 parts, not 12. So the marks are 7½ minutes apart instead of five.
Plus the hour hand is at about 11:45, so the minute hand shouldn’t be at 12:07, or whatever time it shows.
I don’t know whether that’s one mistake or two.
Maybe one cos the artist didn’t even think about the badly spaced minutes.
Some other possibilities:
Very odd portrait on the wall. Is it supposed to look like an old picture of royalty on a throne, in which case it’s not fancy enough, and there’s no crown, or just a relative on a strangely huge chair?
In either case the chair arms don’t match. A design element or a mistake?
Are the pages falling out of the book the young lady is reading?
Is the ocean rising against the window?
Plus there’s the guitar… But maybe he plays better that way.
The incongruent positions of the clock hands (funny that I missed it’s in eighths); The two string guitar (four if you assume the end ones line up with the sides of the neck); and the odd view out the window.
I’ll post without the spoiler box because this one is so bad anyway.
The hands on the clock indicating that it’s mid day, but the sun is rising/setting.
Yes… I noticed both things separately but didn’t put them together.
I don’t know any place or date where the sun rises or sets at 11 am or pm … except the Arctic circle for a short time near midwinter or midsummer, and it would be a stretch to consider that “normal”.
But still, we’re watching Perro™, displaying his heroism, and his amazing skill with the sword…. and with the whip(finally).
….
He didn’t even need to ride in order to advance the storyline tonight!
We take up right where we left off Friday…. three whole days for us… but through the magic of cartooning…. and the delays of publishing…
only a moment for Perro™…. and for the evil henchmen of the even eviller Comandante Slurez.
…
A difficult moment, indeed, for evil henchmen… as their ill-gotten gains are snatched from their fingers by a fancy turn of Perro™‘s bullwhip…
Not that the loot wouldn’t have been snatched from their fingers anyway, by Slurez himself.
…
Who can say what will happen to them when they report to the commandante now….
IIl-gotten-gain-less… and bearing, instead of bags of pesos, a direct threat from the mysterious swordsman who carved P‘s … we assume… in their pantalones.
…
I am unclear as to whether those P‘s are more than pantalones deep… methinks they’d be more memorable, if the sword-tip grazed a mere modicum of…. you know…
But even if not, surely the memory is deeply carved, anyway.
Perro™ is making sure that final word balloon contains the truth.

A look that states “I am sizing you up right now.”
You look MUCH tastier than a rabbit!
and slower
I think that’s what my little (12″ tall 14 lb) schipperke believed she looked like.
In reality…. this one is not mine but looks a lot like her when she was young:
Glacier National park-1913

This looks more elaborate than yesterday’s stepwells.
But decidedly funkier… More worn and repaired.
Nope. Not on those steps.
Not without some railings. Even with railings, I’m iffy on that bridge.
They grow up using them till it’s second nature, I’m told.
Not sure how that works, cos I was already afraid of heights as a child.
At any moment I expect to hear “He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy”
So do you jump from the stairs to the doorways?
I was wondering about the layout, too.
Some bits seem unreachable.
Maybe there are unseen routes inside the walls.
Windows?
It’s dug deep into the ground, so there are no outside walls.
I’m thinking those little holes admit light from inside the well… But there wouldn’t be windows to the outside.
Unless you’re talking about openings between the rooms, which is part of what I meant by inside routes.
,,
Makes you wonder what is going through the minds of those two at this moment. A Vulcan mind meld?
I got nothin.
Nighthawks is testing us.
This is another Twilight Zone image.
And no, I didn’t recognize it… But I have the power of The Google at my fingertips.
It’s about a woman in the hospital having nightmares about the hospital morgue.
I won’t spoil it… But the episode title is “22”.
These look like very shady characters to me. I think they are conducting some sort of transaction involving illicit substances.
This looked like another Twilight Zone at first, but it’s older.
Search says it’s a classic photo of Grand Central Station, in 1941.
I agree… It does look a bit suspicious that the older lady seems to be getting something out of her purse for the man with the briefcase.
The young woman in the pretty dress on the right has a big hole through her. Or something.
No, Godzilla-dude, you gotta hit the wires right here to set off all the pyrotechnics.
Those guys must be really tall!

I kinda thought the big error was the giant gorilla.
…lizard…
Thank you!
What the heck was happening in my mind?
Are you saying Jimmy Hendrix was a mistake?
I got one.

Yeah,
Actually her right forearm and hand are also weirdly elongated. She’s kinda creepy.
😁
I LOVED that show. At all of about 7 years old, I had such a crush on Mortisha (Carolyn Jones).
Before looking at any spoilers
LOL…. I read your first phrase as meaning you were posting before looking at any spoilers…
But you magically knew what I said in mine.
I need more coffee.
Anyway….
I thought there were three, the white lines, and it doesn’t look like any connect with the pegs, but I don’t know guitars very well.
He’s playing it left handed and I thought upside down, like Jimi Hendrix (as Arfside notes) … But which may be intended as a mistake in this puzzle.)
I’ll post without the spoiler box because this one is so bad anyway.
The hands on the clock indicating that it’s mid day, but the sun is rising/setting.
Depends on the location and the date.
Yes… I noticed both things separately but didn’t put them together.
I don’t know any place or date where the sun rises or sets at 11 am or pm … except the Arctic circle for a short time near midwinter or midsummer, and it would be a stretch to consider that “normal”.
I hope the aliens don’t have a thing against Chevys.
That depends. Have they owned one?
…
I’m sure glad I don’t have to shovel that!
Yeah, like in 18976 BC.
That woulda been rough!
How long ago did the land bridge between Asia and North America melt?
It didn’t melt; it was land.
Tons and tons of glaciers and ice fields melted at the end of the last ice age..
A lot of land became ocean. Mountains became beachfront property. And the land bridge got swamped too.
AFAIK it’s still there, but a few hundred feet underwater, at the bottom of the Bering Strait.
….
When the ice age ended, the earth warmed up and humans started farming…
That was about 10,000 BC… so the land bridge must have disappeared during the thousand years or so before that.
Thanks!
It just popped up in my YouTube feed.
I thought that someone would like it. 🙂
¡Mis Cleomigas y Cleomigos!
How lucky are we, to be watching history unfold!
Okay, yes, it’s a recreation, by Nighthawks…
But still, we’re watching Perro™, displaying his heroism, and his amazing skill with the sword…. and with the whip(finally).
