Those dolls do look like they've set their motherfuckers to receive some tea

Good god, I didn't even notice the tea. Hmm ... there are three dolls, and the third result when I search for "tea" on IMDb is Team America: World Police! Finally, Kim Jong-il enters the Collection!

One of the dolls is mouthing the words, "oh pass um, please."

It's a release of Arrested Development the complete series. It's definitely a drawing of the scene where George Bluth has a tea party in the attic.

Actually, what I meant was two clues for the same film. First clue in NYD Wacky drawing and then repeated in the Newsletter.

To this day I still can't get over the fact that when we finally got a legit double clue (Ride the Pink Horse and The Black Stallion) all of completely missed the Black Stallion part of the clue.

Is it a grill, or one of those old roll top desks?

Obviously a box set of the teenage mutant ninja turtles films. That vanilla ice phantom page wasn't for nothing

It looks like a roll top desk, though his legs sticking out are making it confusing

I think it's hinting at King Hu's Dragon Inn. Unless there's some Turtle in a Desk movie I don't know about.

I don't know if that's supposed to be a dinosaur, a lizard or a turtle, but presumably that's a desk. The only vaguely connected thing I can think of is Turtle Diary, which is hardly worth bothering about.

Morgan Creek got it right. It's His Girl Friday. In the film, the condemned man hides in a desk just like that, and Cary Grant says, "Come out of there you Mock Turtle."

Edit: Swo beat me!

Nope.
Dino = Dean Martin
Roll (top desk)= of dice, as in gambling

Oh yeah. I'd forgotten about that line, which played on the fact that Cary Grant played the Mock Turtle in Alice in Wonderland.

Perhaps a possum that's both ill and sore?
