They look at least 40 years old to me, none are familiar though as presumably all American, but the New Yorker magazine which I have read on occasions may be the source of one or two of the cartoons. I'd look for an American over 40 who reads a lot of magazines for the answers here.

#2 is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

#16 could be 13 steps to nowhere. It's a song by Pantera.

#20 looks like a caricature of Eleanor Roosevelt.

Eleanor Roosevelt....yes, you might be on to something here. I did a google search but could find a match, but I'll keep looking. Thanks.

#2 does look like some kind of CAD design/drawing of a 1/3 plane 1/3 electric train 1/3 bus. Do you have any ideas who or what this would be for?

And #19 looks like it's from a New Orleans cemetery.

So, you think #19 is a gravehouse? I've been searching on google images under grave houses. I even looked for dog houses and smallest churches / chapels. No luck yet. The style appears to be Rococo. Thanks again.

Specifically, it looks like on of the above-ground tombs used in the New Orleans "Cities of the Dead". Just a guess.

Did you see Anton's reply? I think he is correct with the "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" for #2. You know the movie with John Candy.

Hey Dave. I don't think this picture is in the movie itself, but I'll rent it to see if maybe it's in the extras (special features). It looks like a CAD software image. The theme appears to be Planes, Trains and Automobile but I need to figure out exactly what this image was used for...whether that was a movie poster, product advertisement, etc. Thanks for your effort here. I appreciate all the help.

Oh, okay I see. I didn't know you needed to find where the exact picture was from. I thought maybe it was just a riddle. Thanks for clearing it up. I'll see if I can find it somewhere.

I agree. Then maybe you would be able to help others with their questions?

I've been around for awhile and did create some quizzes for my favorite movies. They aren't active though (I'm not sure why).

You don't have any quizzes online or offline.
