Another strange body impression

The Pula mega track site

A peculiar case of the probable reptilian body print from EK mega track site in Pula. Candidates: croc, gator, monitor lizard, chamsposaurid. Seemingly very large oval scales on the belly. It appears it had 5 toes on legs - (croc has 4)

Clint Eastwood and Jerry Spring

 

A peculiar case of Clint Eastwood and Jerry Spring

Belgian comic book artist Joseph Gillain, better known by his pen name Jijé; 13 January 1914 – 19 June 1980, has started creating his Jerry Spring strip series in 1954. Strangely how this character reminded me of Clint Eastwood, whose first Western roles started in 1956. Here is Jerry spring in his first episode and Clint in his early career years.
