Contest #4 WINNER!!!!

















It took blog reader "Marcello" seven minutes to post the first complete and correct list of differences between the two cartoons in this week's contest, thus navigating the treacherous gauntlet, conquering the labyrinth and snatching the prize from the gnarling mouth of the...I can't think of a graceful way to end this metaphor, so let's just say someone named Marcello won this week's contest.

Below is his/her (one never knows) correct list.












I should mention that there were three other correct entries coming in at under 10 minutes, then dozens more over the next hour or so, continuing on into the wee hours of the morning. Thanks to everyone for playing and for visiting the blog, I hope you'll visit often to partake in the daily shenanigans and monkey shines!

If anyone has any ideas for future contests or ways in which I can make this one more interesting, I'm all ears.

Your pal with so many ears that women gasp and children cry...

CONTEST #4














Today's contest is harder than ones in previous weeks. I think. I've warped the second image so they can't be overlayed and compared. Read the rules carefully, I'm hoping this one isn't solved within the first 60 seconds after posting, but if it is, so be it.

1. There are 15 differences between the two cartoons.
2. NONE of the differences have to do with the warped nature of the second image.
3. ALL of the differences are something missing, added, or moved, not just "bent" from the distortion.
4. First person to correctly list the 15 differences in the comments section of this post wins 5 packs of Bizarro Trading Cards, mailed by me personally from Bizarro International Headquarters in Brooklyn.
5. Put your email address on your comment so I can contact you if you win. I won't post it or keep it or file it or sell it or mount a Broadway musical about it.

Happy searching to all, and to all a happy search.

CONTEST LATER TODAY!


Thanks to the many commentators who alerted me to the fact that I typed the wrong date in the previous post (it has since been fixed.) So, yes, there will be a contest today at 6pm, NYC time and no, you won't need a time machine to enter it. : )

See you soon, I hope!!!
