The Saturday Picture Show, January 5, 2018

For all those who said it couldn't happen, the Baltimore Ravens won their division this year and cordially invite you to the playoffs!
Those were the days when the New Year was represented as a baby just born, and 1939 turned out to be quite a bad baby as it went along.
So this happened at the Cotton Bowl, before Notre Dame lost to Clemson...an eagle that was part of the pregame festivities decided to land on a Notre Dame fan. That was the highlight of the day for him!
What we can't tell from Prof. A. Barker's ad is whether the man shown here HAS or HAS NOT had his face improved.
Another New Year and another giant bird. Parents used to tell children that "the stork" brought them, while the mechanics of human reproduction would have been much easier for a child to understand than a lurid tale of birds picking up diapered babies in a cabbage patch and dropping them into the nurseries at their new homes.
I found this image somewhat disturbing; it looks like that traffic cop put Frosty The Snowman in jail.
Did anyone else look at this shower and wonder why these people had a pay phone in their bathroom?

Twelve years ago, NASA sent the New Horizons probe out into deep space, and here is the result: photographs of Ultima Thule, the most distant of the known objects in the solar system that look like potato chips. A theme song for the flyby project was written by Queen lead guitarist Roger May, who also composed "Fat Bottomed Girls" before he earned a doctorate in astrophysics. And every word of this is true!
