It seems to be true.

Jigsaw puzzle companies tend to use the same cut patterns for multiple puzzles. This makes the pieces interchangeable. As a result, I sometimes find that I can combine portions from two or more puzzles to make a surreal picture that the publisher never imagined. I take great pleasure in “discovering” such bizarre images lying latent, sometimes for decades, within the pieces of ordinary mass-produced puzzles. As I shift the pieces back and forth, trying different combinations, I feel like an archaeologist unearthing a hidden artifact.

For context, this is the current design, the Grumman LLV:

And this is the new 2024 redesign, the Oshkosh NGDV:

As a kid, I was obsessed with the Captain Underpants book series, so you could imagine my excitement when Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie came out 7 years ago(!). “Dog Man” takes place in the Captain Underpants universe (it’s one of the comics that George and Harold create), though as I’ve gotten older I haven’t been able to keep up with the Dog Man books.

Long story short, if this is anything like Captain Underpants, I’ll be first in line to see this.

So what do you think? Did we dodge a bullet or miss an opportunity?

(I have no idea what big penny means.)

It’s a reference to how expensive it will be to repair the trucks.

Krusty: So he’s proactive, huh?

Network Executive Lady: Oh, God, yes. We’re talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.

Writer: Excuse me, but “proactive” and “paradigm”? Aren’t these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I’m accusing you of anything like that… [pause] …I’m fired, aren’t I?

Roger Meyers, Jr.: Oh, yes. [gets up to leave] The rest of you writers start thinking up a name for this funky dog - I don’t know, something along the lines of, say, “Poochie”, only more proactive!

Krusty: Yeah!

It’s the YouTube link posted in the body.

Always a pleasure to see this posted every Friday.

And the production music gives a nice Friday vibe.

Okay, thanks!

Who is the original artist?

For this movie, no it isn’t. Joker (2019) opened at $96 million, and critical response was stellar. It also had a budget of only $55 million, so it didn’t need much to make a profit.

This one has a budget of $200 million, so it will need to make at least $500 million at the box office to break even. But compared to the first movie, the reviews aren’t looking so good.

Every day we stray further from a Shang-Chi sequel.
