Original by Norman Rockwell?

It’s signed near the lower left corner.

I had trouble making out the name to search, but after a couple of tries I finally figured out it’s Luke Radl.

He’s a contemporary, freelance, comic and graphic artist.

This is labeled on a couple of sites “a Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post homage with Spider-Man and Green Goblin.”

I’ve not found a date but it appears on a Pinterest page, and elsewhere, illustrating an interview, both from 2012.

The little boy looks very Rockwell-ish…. But to me, the counter person’s face looks more modern.

And forgive me for noticing, but the drawing of “Spiderman”s body, especially his…um .. plump nether parts, doesn’t look Rockwellian at all.

It looks a lot better than what I’d expect from the era. I’m surprised by the railing on top.

Might be a bit safer than the way they would have done it by ‘A-Framing’ two ladders, and it’s probably cheaper in the long run as you only need one person and can get to the lamps faster!

Then they thought of the two-man team with one madcap driver and the other hanging on for dear life!

Yet another

very spoiler-ish hint….
Not a scary ghost.

To me, he looks more like a vanilla coated ice cream bar with a cute face.

It doesn’t give it totally away but don’t look unless you’re close to giving up anyway.

Spotted it straight off. I was thinking to myself, “What would the ghost look like,” and as I thought it, I spotted it.

Like a lot of these sorts of puzzles, you either spot it straight away, or spend ages searching.

Depends on whether the “target” looks like what you were expecting or not.

I didn’t think I had a ghost of chance. Once I decided to try I thought that’s the spirit. I wondered, if it was a chicken’s ghost, what poultry guise would it take? Just when I thought “sheet, I’ll never find it”, there it was.

“The most fun (I’ll) ever have being scared” is a very low bar.

I have NO fun being scared… it would be totally easy to be more fun than no fun at all.

Even so, i don’t plan to test it with this movie, which looks like less fun than I’m having without it. ..

Have some extra kibblecorn for me…

I’m be right here, if you need me.
