Today’s puzzle is, of course, derived by changing a few things to make differences in the famous 1945 Norbasset Dogwell painting of Thanksgiving dinner..
Do you know the original so well you can see them instantly?
No… me neither.
I do love to see the Basset family all dressed up for the holiday…. suits and ties, lipstick and jewelry.
Pups today show up in jeans and flip-flops.
I meant to say in my first post that there’s a barely perceptible stray line in one panel, which I doubt anyone would think is an intended difference….
But if it’s late, and you’re tired…. and you’ve only found 8 … I suppose it could be tempting.
So I’ll tell you….and it’s not a spoiler cos it’s not a hint about anything that does count as a difference….
In the bottom (or right-hand) panel… there’s a faint reddish-brown line, running diagonally under the eye and across the muzzle of the dog facing us in the lower right corner.
It’s NOT a difference… so if it’s one of your nine… keep looking!
What I’d like to know is why, on such a pleasant holiday, with plenty to eat and drink, no presents to buy, no, or at least not many, conflicts over beliefs….
why do the young dogs all look so distressed?
Is it because they were looking forward to a real turkey, and Grandma pulled a fast one….
shaping a bag of kibble into a roast?
Is it because the shape looks … gasp! …more like a cat than a turkey?
Or is it maybe just because they’re hungry dogs, having to do a loooong, obedient “sit-stay” for Mr. Dogwell, when they’re dying to tear into that food?
