Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 23, 2009

Alice must hide that head gear under the couch.

Smart…

I like it.

Whatever floats your boat, Alice & Todd. Just stay happy to be together.

Greetings, Cleo gang!

Time to solve and discuss another Saturday puzzle….

from the Feb 23rd  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Happy solving, and may th differences be with you!

I’d like to say one thing to Nighthawks, in regards to this puzzle….

and that is… "Thank you thank you thank you….

for not using a later frame of this strip.

I really appreciate it."

Speaking of saying things to you, Nighthawks…

too close to the turn, I replied to you and Montana Lady,

about those old animal pelt “scarves” you were discussing.

And speaking of discussing…

(I’m so proud of my segues…. )

Todd is asleep, and Alice seems engrossed in her book, not to mention her handsome companion.

She invited us for today…. but she never called me back with the details.

So shall we just head for the Tiki?

I didn’t reserve a room… but I’ll give Fenton a call.

If by any chance there isn’t an empty one, we can all sit by the fireplace in the main bar, OK?

I’m heading there now, so I’ll know by the time you arrive.

My, my, Alice. Only a tiny bit unfaithful in your mind, and who could blame you? Very sharp look, even your dressing gown has a pocket handkerchief. I am sure your secret gentleman will notice.

TODD! WAKE UP, comb your hair and smile! You can be the man of her dreams again!

Got ’em!

Before I nod off like Todd I’d better post the solution to today’s Cleo & Co. puzzle.

And if you peek Cleo may swat you and I don’t mean with a fly swatter. She’s likely to send a SWAT team.

They’re both rather strange if you ask me.

Once again, send in the fleas.

My winning streak is broken. Sob! Once again, the one I missed is so obvious. I’ll go drown my sorrow with that piece of MarionBerry Pie!

I only got 8 and the one I missed was not obvious. Thanks once again, x_Tech.
