Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 09, 2009

D@rn good, Sparky. I’ll bid $100.

Whoa! Sparky’s protraits are better than the version of reality he lives in!

Sure beats Warhol.

better than Kerry Waghorn’s!!

He doggedly pursues his craft. So, this is where Chuck Close gets his inspiration from.

Yoo hoo!

Calling all Cleo puzzlers and visitors …

It’s Saturday, and we have a new Find-The-9-Differences puzzle from Nighthawks….

Let’s solve it, and then discuss it at my pie shop!

You can find it in the

Or use my side-by-side version:

I’m trying to remember this strip, and why Clara and Claude are talking about Cleo, and why she’s asleep on the kitchen floor…..

But it doesn’t look familiar.

is it a harbinger of a new strip… or is my memory just… well, you know….

Dennis? Liverlips? You guys usually beat me here…. sometimes Farside99, and Grog, too.

Oh well….. I guess I don’t need to ask anybody what kind of pie to bring…

cos all kinds are available at the pie shop…. and sandwiches, too.

See you there?

BTW…. anybody recognise Sparky’s work?

I believe I displayed it recently on Ballard St. 2019.

I got 9 out of 9! And I triple checked this time to be sure, lol :-)

Didn’t feel very energetic tonight so I let Sparky create the solution to today’s Cleo & Co. puzzle.

Good? They’re great!

Snoring in stereo.

Got ‘em in ten minutes and didn’t even have to resort to the side-by-side. Very proud of myself cause I don’t usually find them all.

Well, I’m back to my old tricks. I only got 8 this time. But, it was still fun. Thanks, Susan and X for your very valuable assistance.

yes, thanks Susan and X!…….and xTech, I hope you regain your energy soon….real soon.

just in case, I’m sending you energy from the flyover states; we have too much energy here the way it is.

Got all nine, but there were times I was resorting to weights and measures to see if my eyeballs were playing tricks on me!

Good heavens!!! I got 9, is it REALLY easy today or am I getting better??? It took me about 30 seconds. I can hardly believe it, why cant I put a smiley on here!!!

Only got 8. That last one was a little sneaky. Thanks x_Tech.
