Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 21, 2010

Everyone needs at least one hobby.

Alliteration can be oh so much fun!

Well done, Saul. Better take it easy now and try some “C” words tomorrow.

No, he’s just been trying to remember the title of a Silver Age Batman comic. Unsuccessfully.

Howdy-hi, Cleo puzzlers and fans….

Saturday again, time for our favorite hobby… OK, one of our favorite hobbies….

finding nine (almost always these days) differences between two panels, starring (usually) our doggie heroine.

 

That would be in the March 21st  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

Which you can find on Sherpa

But as it’s puzzle day, you might want to go straight to the side by side version, right here:

Cleo was so cute, in yesterday’s animation…

I was surprised that her ever-so-indulgent pet-parents didn’t seem inclined to watch her.

But when I saw the way she’s acting in this puzzle….

well…. it’s the next day’s strip… but maybe this had actually happened before little miss prima donna skateboarded right in front of the TV.

 

Happy puzzling… I’ll be right back.

OH… and please excuse my putting yesterday’s date on my side by side… sometimes I just can’t keep up!

Returning from dog school there? – And flunked “obedience” – again.

OK – 8 minutes, but got them all.

I got 9 very quickly tonight, even though it is 1 AM. Must be in the zone. or imagining difffs that are not there.

Hullo again….

I know this is not what you would probably call “right back” … sigh….

Sorry… GoComics had other ideas… and then… well, you know how it goes.

 

Not many here tonight… especially for a puzzle night…. hopefully more will show up as the day arrives.

Anybody know why Liverlips hasn’t been dropping by?

He’s been a regular here for so long.

Really glad to see all the relatively new faces, though, and some old faces returning! Wait… let me rephrase that….

 

I’m dozing off, but of course, I couldn’t go to bed without bringing you our weekly .gift from the semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA…

who stel labors mightily to create the animation solution…

just so that Dennis and others can make sure the differences they see are NOT in their imaginations.

And that there really are nine, even if it seems unlikely.

 

Check your solution… but … promise me… not before you have a solution… right here….

Which reminds me… what is the likelihood that Claude will tell Cleo to check her attitude?

Right.

But at least, she takes it out on door frames and squirrels… maybe a few cats, when she finds any that don’t terrify her… maybe blows up a wall, or a tree, or a shooting range here and there.

Those of you who read tonight’s current Ballard Street saw a dog with a lot less power, but a worse attitude.

Made me appreciate Cleo.

 

Speaking of Ballard St… here I am at 4 in the morning (PDT) still putting words together, like Saul.

Time to stop and go to bed!

Brazen and bold? No.

Sleepy and silly, maybe.

 

Bring it on yourself…and close that door!

I would have said bold and brazen.

GOOD MORNING BALLARDEERS!

Late late late…. Trying to figure out what can and can’t be done with IL “lockdown”. What a pain in the butt this crap is.

Any hoover, ya’ll stay safe out there. I’ll be in here.

So I just tried to get through the “whereas” “wherefore” “including but not only…” bull crap.

All I want is a freakin list of where and what we can and can’t do not a bunch of legal speak that is confusing as all get out!

Everything points to the executive order. To see a list… 45 paragraphs later

WHERE IS THE FREAKING LIST??!!

sigh

Good puzzle today, but I’m not so good — only got seven. Boo Hoo!

I did Dennis and Steve’s trick ….. going away for a while, but it didn’t work today. Like Perky, I only got 7.

I guess my lucky streak is broken. :((

Seven. Poop!

Today’s Ballard Street is a nice puzzle, too…

Good evening Balladeers, Plods and Miss Susan! Ya’ all STAY SAFE, YA’ HEAR!!??
