Make a funny with an archival photo
The City of Toronto Archives are a gold mine of fascinating snapshots from our city's past and thanks to the online search facility many of images are easy to access. A fun quirk of the system is the website's tendency to include anomalous pictures with no apparent connection to one's search terms among the results.

Or just marvel at what passed for Photoshop-style trickery back in the day.
