1) The alligator in panel one has heard that lion tail is an aphrodisiac.
2) The monkey in panel one stole the rope from some nearby hippie hemp aficionados. The monkey in panel two stole the rope from a production of Tarzan.
3) The lion in panel two is a lifelong fan of the Beach Boys, and as such can always be seen sporting a bushy bushy blonde hairdo.
4) The sun in panel one was drawn with a compass. The sun in panel two was drawn by this guy.
5) Though the stars may indicate that the bite in panel one hurts twice as much as the bite in panel two, it's really more like 1.65 times as much.
6) The snake in panel two just got unintentionally goatsed.

What's up with the occasional Seven Differences? I've noted at least two of them recently, the latest was in this morning's paper, 12.7.11 (Tony's Pizza): the little girl's sweater. Was Mr. Weber smokin' something when these panels were drawn? Things like this really get my day off to a bad start -- can't we believe in anything any more?? Hoping you can shed some light on this...

Very strange -- I don't have a six differences puzzle on the site I'm looking at Slylock Fox on. Today it's a bunch of animals, a fish skeleton and a shoe being blown above the rooftops by forceful tornado winds, and there's a question about which country has the most powerful tornadoes. Which paper do you get?
However, I have indeed noticed that sometimes there are more than six differences. This was most recently apparent to me when I was playing the wonderful Six Differences app that Bob Weber Jr. put out. (I hope he does an update soon with more puzzles.) There's an underwater scene with a snorkeler and a mermaid, and in one picture the mermaid has a bracelet that is missing in the other picture. There are, however, six other differences, and if you tap the mermaid's wrist, it won't count as a difference.
I'm sorry you felt this got your day off to a bad start, but if I were you, I wouldn't even look at it like that. Think of it as an Easter egg for some of Slylock Fox's more observant fans. Well done, aristata!
As to what Mr. Weber smokes, I believe is a secret blend of ground Necco wafers, nougat, and (depending on the season) candy corn, Cadbury egg or candy cane. I have it on good authority that there's a faint aroma of smoky peppermint emanating from the Weber household these days.
