Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 20, 2009

I’ll take New Zealand.

Dibs on the Republic of Texas!

I’m not greedy. Just give me an island. Ibiza or Santorini. Someplace with warm sunny beaches and naked ladies sunbathing.

I would like to have Monaco.

Jamaica please. I need some warm weather man!

I am just dumb enough to ask ol’ Elliot, “What about Bolivia?” If he has actually taken the time to do some research and can tell me a little about it, I would consider that time well spent learning about some other place. If he chose it just because it sounded cool, or exotic, and he doesn’t know squat about Bolivia, then I’ve wasted my time.

Personally I like California. It has any kind of weather you might want and sometimes you only have wait 5 minutes for it to come to you.

The main reason to choose Bolivia? It rhymes with Olivia!

I seem to remember a musical number featuring the name Olivia. Can’t find it though.

Three minutes. Pretty sure that’s a new PB!

Eight is enough. I think I have heard that said.

What a flimsy building! A single layer of brick, no lath under the plaster? No wonder Super Duper Basset can just pop through.

Hello, puzzle fans….

Saturday again…. and we have a new puzzle to solve … and discuss, of course….

in the April 20th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

It’s Superbasset!

And it’s on Sherpa

Though if you like, you can just use my side by side version instead:

Superbasset didn’t wear that proud smile in the original animation!

Did he come back to Tweety’s house and pose like that especially for this puzzle?

I’m not one to criticise a wonderful, helpful hero like Superbasset….

I mean, even if he weren’t one of my idols, I wouldn’t do it, cos he’s got… you know… superpowers.

But really…. it’s getting harder and harder for him to claim he never saw that hole!

Is that Granny in the portrait?

Or did Nighthawks slip in a portrait … maybe his own grandma?

Anyhow…. solve away!

Bolivia, Olivia…. there must be some trivia…

I can’t find a slivia…. ok, that didn’t work at all…..

Meanwhile…. I’d take the US but I’m sure no one will let me…

Same with Canada…

and x_Tech already claimed California.

Can I have Pitcairn Island?

I’m sure nobody else wants that.

It’s always sounded romantic and exotic to me….

even though I’m told it’s actually anything but.

If you’re having trouble with the puzzle, well, it’s x_Tech to the rescue with the solution to today’s Cleo & Co. puzzle.

And if you you’re not, forget I said anything.

Settled is right.

Why can’t he use the front door like everyone else?

Superbasset better fix that hole in the wall or granny will make him sit in the corner and spell kryptonite 100 times. I also notice that Bork is back after 3 years. Maybe they’re getting ready to fix Sherpa, or probably not.

that’s like asking Santa Claus to come in through the door

I love today’s SuperBasset! Unfortunately our cleaning woman comes today, so we gotta leave. But, I’ll have time to peruse our cute hero later this afternoon.

I get to walk my granddaughter down the beach to give her away today.

I’m probably going to be a basket case.

Wish me luck.

I’m baaaacccckkkk. What a funny puzzle it was today! Unfortunately I missed one of the most obvious differences! I guess I need to work on my super powers of observation.
