GRAILS GAME

[Transplant]

Very well done

I could not locate a gallery for Princip for probably 15-25 minutes, but then I figured out how I was searching wrong on CAF. Once I did that, it all fell into place.

I read too much of the wiki on The Little Prince!!

 

[MetalPSI]

Gavrilo Princip was a Bosnian Serb revolutionary who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914, precipitating the First World

 

 

Where does 19074 fit in?

F you guys, I was still looking for more serial numbers until PSI published it.

 

I immediately recognized the sig, but thought there was more to it.

 

Kudos, bud.

19074 was the serial number of the Browning he used to shoot the Archduke

AH, haven't read that far

 

Nice

I remember watching the cartoon in French when I was little

My biggest problem is jumping to Charlie conclusions. I was pretty sure the number referred to a Camillus machete.

I must have stared at that CAF machete pic for 15 mins looking for a correlation

[MetalPSI]

Conclusion : Fingh is on crack, search "Grails"

[seanfingh]

I needed a team-up.

[MetalPSI]

I connected the name, but there was no way I was solving that sig.

 

Closest I got was Anthony de garblegook

[seanfingh]

You are probably too young. Everyone my vintage had the book.

Yes, the cartoon was old my time, around the same time as Astro Boy, and Hercules?

GAME OVER!

 

Congratulations, please lay out how you solved it and which prize you will claim.

 

I'm ashamed to admit that it was a little bit of brute force Google'ing. That said, I knew your hint was written the way it was for a reason. Clearly the number 19074 was important. I wasted time trying to search it even more like Metalpsi, gallery names, views, items, etc. I looked for members here with that id #, but it is a coinee who has never posted. Then, it occurred to me that the item and the # must be linked. Ultimately I landed on a search for "number 19074". One of the links mentioned the serial # of a Browning pistol used to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand.

 

The man who fired the shot? Gavrilo Princip. I was flustered for a while because I was searching CAF for Princip in a way that did not lead to "his" gallery. But I finally found a way to do it correctly. When I did, it led to here. http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1359790

 

This is a signature image and the rules of the game ask that you determine whose signature it is and post an image of the title character of his most famous book, The Little Prince. I confess, I tried to eyeball the signature for some time and then saved the image and ran a reverse image search on Google. It was very quick after that.

I need to learn how to do that

Charlie: I will take the Batman Europa piece by Jim Lee. It looks like a very cool cityscape. I suppose I need to pick up the book. Is it good?

 

Thank you once again. You are overly generous to the boards with these games. It was loads of fun for almost an hour. Thanks.

[MetalPSI]

My first time. Was a lot of fun, thanks Grails! Look forward to the next one
