That's not nice Don.

... screw it. Let me add some emphasis to "not nice", courtesy of a recent challenge entry -->

... and toss in a LOL just to make it politically correct (or not). Your choice.

Never upgraded to sound projectors, eh? No wonder my great-grandparents moved to Brooklyn ... my mother knew Charlie Chaplin ... :-)

In retrospect, I do recognize the glasses / nose / mustache getup as a common costume item, but hadn't associated it with the Marx Brothers. Laurel & Hardy / Charlie Chaplin - familiar with them (a little). Buster Keaton ... nope.

Even the (former) communist states are familiar with this icon of entertainment if not economics ...

I really hope you're not talking about the Marx Brothers....

Why not? I'd have no idea what to shoot for this challenge (and I didn't). Homework would be required to know the subject. Why do so many assume that the 'Marx Brothers' are widely known?

Because they are widely known.

With all due respect Don, I disagree. Maybe 50, 60 years ago?

I was indeed talking about the Marx Brothers. And in the style of ...... And particular musical bodies of work. Challenge themes ought to be accessible to people of different cultures - without spending hours in research. Some of us have other things to do.

Here's the skinny, for those addicted to data:

This is a plot of the number of images in voting each week since January, 2002 and the average votes per image, again weekly and over the same timeframe.

ETA: One interesting thing to note, you can see the beginning of monthly free studies starting in January 2007. Those are the monthly spikes.

ETA: Updated image to include legend and axis labels; may have to CTRL+Refresh to see changes.
