Please tell me the make, model, and year for a point.

tonyola · March 25, 2012, 08:04:58 AM

Not a single Rookie has taken a shot. Let's see if the Experts can do better.

Tackitt · March 25, 2012, 09:31:36 AM

American?

tonyola · March 25, 2012, 01:49:25 PM

Yes, it's American.

Tackitt · March 25, 2012, 11:55:36 PM

Is this just a proposal or was this machine actually built?

tonyola · March 26, 2012, 06:30:38 AM

Neither, actually.

tonyola · April 04, 2012, 07:57:07 AM

So much for the Experts. Let's see what the Professionals can do.

Tackitt · April 04, 2012, 11:32:03 AM

This is not a Frank Reade machine, is it?

tonyola · April 04, 2012, 03:19:55 PM

No, it has nothing to do with Reade.

Tackitt · April 05, 2012, 02:53:25 AM

A Stan Mott creation perhaps?

tonyola · April 05, 2012, 08:46:45 AM

Not Stan Mott either.

Tackitt · April 07, 2012, 08:48:47 AM

Is this an illustration of a fictional account written in the Victorian era?

tonyola · April 07, 2012, 09:00:19 AM

Only in a very indirect way, and it's not really the Victorian era, either - it's a bit later. Is it time for me to drop a hint or two?

Otto Puzzell · April 07, 2012, 09:20:50 AM

By Bruce McCall?

tonyola · April 07, 2012, 09:22:40 AM

Uh-oh. Someone is closing in on the answer. Yes, this is a McCall creation.

tonyola · April 12, 2012, 09:38:56 AM

Are you Professionals going to let this puzzle slip into the Black Hole even when a major clue has already been successfully guessed? Don't disappoint this mere Expert.

Otto Puzzell · April 12, 2012, 10:52:48 AM

Ive searched and searched - I can't find this specific pic. Was it part of a New Yorker cartoon?

tonyola · April 12, 2012, 01:43:40 PM

No, it was from a humor magazine.

Otto Puzzell · April 12, 2012, 04:37:50 PM

National Lampoon?

tonyola · April 12, 2012, 06:06:53 PM

Yup, National Lampoon it is.

tonyola · May 05, 2012, 01:44:22 PM

This puzzle has languished at Professional level for a month now. The most important clues have already been guessed. Anyone care to take a shot over the next few days? Otherwise, it'll go into the Black Hole with me chuckling at my ability to confound everyone here.

D-type · September 29, 2013, 06:53:24 PM

Time to

Carnut · February 21, 2014, 07:36:07 AM

Tonyola has not been on the site since June 2012 so I'll moved this to the Black Hole.
