**this original post is from October of 2020, please go to page three for the current pics**

I am participating in the Worlds Largest Trivia Contest this weekend and part of the contest includes identifying these pictures.... http://90fmtrivia.org/Hour_ThirtyOne/Picture_page.pdf

Our team has already figured out 1, 6, 14, 21 and 23. Picture 24 is random business signs from the city that hosts the contest so I don't expect anyone to figure that one out.

The contest ends Sunday the 25th at midnight so time is of the essence!

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I think 14 is from Beetle Bailey?

#5 & #16 are vying to be the cover of my debut album....

9 is the album cover to Tightly Knit by the Climax Blues Band.

Number 16 isn't exactly, but it looks like an album cover that Jack Davis (of Mad Magazine) did back in the '60's for "Monster Rally".  The background is different, but the conductor is EXACTLY the same.

The cover to Flamin' Groovies by Fantastic Plastic.

That one was a bitch. The album cover was painted by somebody else as an homage to Jack Davis, which is what made it so hard to find.

The guys who run the contest are smart and tricky, that's why some of these are hard to find.

5 is a section of the back cover to The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart.

8 is Birch Bender's Paleo Toaster Waffels

I was thinking 13 is William Lee Golden, of the Oak Ridge Boys, but I don't think that's right.  I don't think it's Leon Russell, either.

You have a link to this, I feel they're going to ask for something more specific. Thanks.

You guys are all honorary members of team "#MarkIsOld" by the way.  :metal

Throwing out ideas in case it incites something with the others:

3.  Not Winnie The Pooh, but a bear with a honey jar.
10.  This one is driving me crazy; I was thinking 40's/50's cigarette ad (look at the gifts), then stewardess, then Oreo Cookie Tin (the commemorative ones).  Got nothing.   (Though I will say, the ads in the 50's and 60's, especially for things like cigarettes and air travel as SEXIST AF.)
11. Gondola from Venice, but is that a caricature of the Leaning Tower of Pisa?  Is that an ad for Italia?
13. Already said, I thought it was William Lee Golden but now don't think so. It's not Leon Russell either.   
15. No clue
18.  I thought it was an extreme closeup of a character of some kind; that being the smile and nose of a dog maybe?
20.  Smiling ear of corn.
22. Flame ball; the pixels could be a video game or just a low quality photo.  Heart burn ad?   Athlete's Foot?

Also not the logo for any brand of honey.

I'm was thinking pizzeria, just based on the style.  Also, boat moorings in Venice look like barber poles.

Quote18.  I thought it was an extreme closeup of a character of some kind; that being the smile and nose of a dog maybe?
Same thought here. First thing I thought of was Minnie Mouse.

Quote22. Flame ball; the pixels could be a video game or just a low quality photo.  Heart burn ad?   Athlete's Foot?
Low quality graphic from an ad, I think, though I did also consider video game character. Could be anything. My hunch is that it shows up on the back of a bag of chips or something.

Quote13. Already said, I thought it was William Lee Golden but now don't think so. It's not Leon Russell either. 
I'm somewhat confident it'll be an inset of a live album cover. Maybe a gatefold. And Leon Russell might be the guy. The problem is that it'll come from a much bigger picture. These guys have done a fairly good job of making sure they can't be image searched, and zooming in on tiny bits of big pictures is one of their tricks. Don't count on it being B&W, either.

My kid thought 18 could be from Goldfish crackers but I don't think so.
