I am 99% sure we have seen this FTND image before. I don’t save them, so there’s the other 1%. And I certainly don’t remember the solution, so it’s as good as new from that standpoint.
Unless there’s an exception I don’t remember, all the New Yorker cover puzzles were created by StelBel, so, yes, we’ve done them all before…
But as Stel has done no new work for almost exactly 11 months, and these particular puzzles stretch back to I believe February of 2023, the likelihood of the solutions being completely familiar is very low.
…
They took hours to create… It would seem a waste for them to be solved by a dozen people and never seen again.
Like a fine jigsaw puzzle, they’re stored until they’re sufficiently forgotten to enjoy solving again, and their artistry can be appreciated another time.
A lot of the Cleo puzzles are reruns as well, generally at least a year old, and hopefully older.
…
I solve each one anew, when Nighthawks decides to run it. What I post is my current attempt.
Every few puzzles, I might find myself remembering one difference before I find it again… though I sometimes do recognise a couple more as I circle them.
But I spend longer with them than most of you because of the time it takes to make and post the solutions.
My thought is that if I’ve forgotten where the differences are, probably everybody else will have, as well.
I’m still short of my goal in my campaign. Next week is the inspections and i have enough for the house inspection, but i’m still short for the septic inspection. It’s going to be pumped before i move in, but the inspection is still a good idea. You can find my campaign at GoFundMe by looking for the campaign name;

Sit down. It’s time for your performance review…

Not duck!
I vote “mashed potatoes.”
You mean “who”.

My guess too.
The actors, in real life, were old enough to be Dennis’ grandparents but too young in most cases to be retired.
She was in her late 50s, he was in his late 40s through early 50s, and passed away during the run of the show at 52.
He was briefly replaced by Gale Gordon before the show was cancelled.
Though he looks pretty happy in this publicity shot, the young
He later helped form an organization for troubled former child actors.
He has sad eyes.

That’s one creepy carrot!
It sure looks like someone “helped” those fingernails… unless AI knows how to create a… Oh gosh never mind.

It would be beautiful if it were real.
Actually it is real. I’ve been there: Casa Batlló by Antoni Gaudí
Wow… I thought it was a Gaudi building but the regularity of the windows made me think it wasn’t really his work.
Especially because I’d seen an article, and photos, months ago, when searching for another photo here, about an AI program that emulates his designs.
I’m very glad it’s real!
I love Gaudi buildings… Walking into one would be a thrill.
And quite crowded! A timed entry was required.
Was it worth going in? I’d love to see the exterior.
Um……
When I could clearly read “Barcelona” on the window I knew it was Gaudi.
I wish I’d noticed it!
can you find an acorn?
Yup!
Ditto.
OK, me too
,,.,
Whoo dat?
Excuse me while I run away now…..
This is great! Now show us those caterpillars that look like bird poop!
You mean the larvae of some hoverflies?
There are quite a few poop mimics. Caterpillars are most common…
“The precious!”
If that one nose the other day reminded people of Montana Lady….
This puzzle is practically a tribute!
Wish she could see it.
Meanwhile… not to be nosy…
Can you find nine differences in our poochy pals?
I’m not at home… I’ll be there before too long.
But just in case anybody actually tries it before that… I’m posting the solution now.
No sticking your nose in there before you give it your best!
After that, you can take a look
WOO HOO
Only eight.
Me too.
