Like I can see what’s supposed to be the old woman but its never been much of a trick unless you think old people look like Yubaba from spirited away.
I don’t think it works well here because the art styles don’t match and the way the bar keeper is drawn looks nothing like the old woman.
Yeah it certainly doesn’t help but even with the original I’ve always thought this.
If you look at the barkeep the other way he looks like an angry mole crawling out of the wall :3
The barkeep/comic setting is a later addition.
I had to read your comment to understand what I was supposed to be looking at
I really like this
I don’t get it :(
It still took me forever so I found a guide
I still only see the young lady…
On the young lady, the choker and the neck line is the narrow mouth and chin on the old woman.
Thank you. I’m all the years I’ve never seen the old lady without this
That episode was awesome.
Wait a minute, Dogs don’t talk!
Can’t see anything but a turned head, even with this guide
This helps but I still don’t see it in the original image
I only see a young woman’s head turned and looking at the window
Edit: squinting makes me see it, I guess my mind doesn’t register the old woman until I see less detail but I still don’t see it in the original image op posted
I don’t think the original image in this post has enough detail to create the illusion
I can see it but it’s tough. Could only see it at first because I knew to look for something. It doesn’t help that the first thing you see is such a small pretty face, then when you have to look for the old woman you need to look for enormous somewhat grotesque features.
This actually helped!
Doing the Lord’s work @brbposting@sh.itjust.works. Thank you!

Cover the left outer eyelash and imagine the word “Babushka”
Physically covering the left side with a finger and I can now see the old woman. Fucking finally. Thank you!
You’re welcome.
Maybe you’re doing it wrong. Turn your phone upside down and hop on one leg.
Thank you, geez, that took me forever.
Do you see a young woman or an old lady?
Oh, I got them mixed up. I thought the guy on the left looked simultaneously 12 and middle-aged.

The bar patron is a classic optical illusion.
In my late teens I had a similar poster in my room with double meaning.
Warning, a bit NSFW
That’s pretty cool! I love pictures like that. My grandfather, who was a really good artist, liked to draw faces for me that would change into a different face if you turned it upside-down. Sadly, I only have one left and it’s only a xerox.
I like that. Accurate in my teens and well beyond.
This one is better than the op
Older people tend to like getting ID’ed. Just go for it either way.
It’s very subjective. My wife kinda hates it. She’s a good looking woman, but she certainly doesn’t look like she’s 20. She often doesn’t carry a wallet - so if she’s ID’d it can actually be annoying.
If she has a case on her phone could she put the id between case and back of the phone.
I was speaking more about people over 40. Some places require ID regardless of age and older people often find it amusing or flattering.
My wife is over 40 fwiw. She doesn’t particularly like being carded. She may have liked it in her late 20s or early 30s but not anymore.
Just pointing out that it’s subjective.
I teach an underwater photography class at a university. We were going to have a night dive one evening and a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to cancel, so we decided to go to a local pub that has great food.
There’s a bouncer at the door, and he’s checking all my student’s IDs super close. He’s bending them, shining a light through them, etc making absolutely sure nobody underage gets through.
I walk up behind my students with my ID out and he just nods and says “you’re good man.”
I never felt so old.
My ID picture is still the same one I took in my early 20s (almost 40 now), and even when I do get carded, 75% of the time they make a comment about how my “picture is really old,” “I look really young,” etc, etc which is always a punch to the gut.
I’m always relieved since I carry my wallet less and less. I’ve learned to keep it on me right after a haircut though.

Nah, I don’t want to be lied to
You’re fat.
😭
At least you killed Adam?
I don’t get the reference, what?
Hazbin Hotel
As a kid I could see both instantly but today it took me several minutes
The proportion of the bartender and the woman makes it as the young woman is the main one.
That’s a really good point, in fact now that you said this I can easily see the old woman face lol
I can’t see it in the comic posted by op but I can see it in other comments posting the original optical illusion image
I had to originally squint at the original optical illusion image to get my mind to register it
I only see a young woman looking away, none of these comments help…
Perspective is wrong since we should be seeing the nose and mouth from the side (and only a little of one eye), but maybe this helps?
It’s perfect. I have no idea what this is supposed to help with but it’s perfect.
She has… your eyes.
The chin/jaw line of the young woman is the nose of the old woman, the ear is the eye, there is a horizontal line of the young woman’s neck that is the mouth of the old woman.
At first I only saw the young woman too.
So as the old woman, does she kind of look like a cartoon turtle?
I don’t necessarily see turtle but it’s a more cartoonish depiction than the younger woman.
Oh yeah, definitely
That only barely looks like a face of an older woman.
“can I see your ID? Wait I mean” (prolonged screaming) “…hh oh wait can I see your ID again?”
Is it one of those pictures where you flip it to see young girl turn into an elderly woman?
Not flip but kind of. Other comments have already explained it if you haven’t seen them yet
I couldnt recognize anything except for a human like blob wearing a fur coat.
I think it does not matter if the woman in the picture is young or old. Maybe the artist is trying to tell, that early young adult women are not easy to detect ? like ages 18+ ?
My question is different: what kinda psycho abbreviates “id” as I.D.? And then followup, who collapses the period into it to make “I.D?”
Id is identification, that’s one word. This isn’t an acronym. So arguably if anything if would be abbreviated with an apostrophe or maaaybe a single period at the end. Anyway English is weird
Isn’t ID “identification document”?
It’s actually “Idaho.”
Cambridge dictionary for “id”:
abbreviation for identification: any official card or document with your name and photograph or other information on it that you use to prove who you are:
Do you have any ID? A driver’s license or check card will do.
ID is short of “identity document”. The Chicago Manual of Style agrees with your second point though, keeping both punctuations.
You pronounce the abbreviated form as “Eye Dee” so you abbreviate it as ID. No, it is not consistent with other instances of abbreviation in English, but half of English isn’t consistent with the other half anyway.
Also, id is an actual word, so that could cause confusion. The earliest uses of the term ‘ID’ or ‘I.D.’ are also from the US military, which absolutely loves abbreviating things and making acronyms for the sake of brevity, even if the shortening doesn’t follow the usual rules.
I abbreviate id as I.D. for the same reason I abbreviate ego as E.G.O.
