Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 01, 2010

At least it gets them out of the house!

More fun this way, Ma!

Smile when you say that, Pardner.

Looks like he blew up one of the pistols. Those old Colts would do that because the ammo was inconsistent.

Also, it looks like Sparky is the sheriff. I love his stance.

Very shortly, Sparky is gonna discover he doesn’t have any opposable thumbs to carry this thing thru…..

She doesn’t understand male bonding.

Sure they will walk. First they stand back to back and then they will walk ten paces before turning to fire.

Today’s comic really hits home as the Rodeo is pulling out of town today… La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros what a fun weekend ! Living out West is still fun !

Sparky can ‘fan’ six shots in the blink of an eye! No need for a thumb.

Is that a leash hanging from the trigger guard of Sparky’s pistol?

“High Noon” in the backyard.

Moseyyyys!

What’s with the broken gun in the grass?

ANNOUNCEMENT

(Posting it a bit ahead of time, just in case site problems or anything else delay me at the proper time.)

 

This is the March 1st Ballard Street strip….

where we’ll comment on the MARCH FIRST, 2020, “Cleo and Company” …

… a new “Find the Nine Differences” puzzle, on Sherpa.

 

If you’re here to comment on the February 29th, ie, Leap Year Day strip… that’s great, but…

Please go back and add it to yesterday’s (February 28th’s) forum…

 

There was no February 29th in 2010…. so we’re doubling up on the 28th….

to keep March 2010 in sync with our March 2020 comments.

Thanks!

Well gee. Just going for walks wouldn’t be as much fun, now would it!

OK! Welcome, everybody!

I hope the plan works, and everybody shows up to solve the puzzle!

I’ve got your side by side right here…

the link is above, in my announcement post, or what the heck… here it is again:

http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwy

in case you’d actually rather solve it vertically.

 

I shall be back with the animation solution from our semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA, of course.

Got them all; the last one took a while. – No, any puns would spoil that. Maybe later.

How much fun is that?

“Uh-Oh!” is not quite the word I’d use in that situation.

I still love the smell of caps after they’ve fired. Brings back lots of good memories with a Fanner 50 and other cap guns.

Allen@home… did you reply to my above post, and then delete it?

Cos I replied to YOU… but GoComics wouldn’t let me submit it… and now your comment is gone!

Maybe the link started working?

 

Anyway… I keep forgetting to welcome you to Cleo… sorry!

Welcome!

I’ve only seen you here fairly recently… but I wondered… have we known you previously by another name?

(Of course you don’t have to tell. It’s just nice to know if I’m talking to someone I’ve already met.)

 

Everybody… Allen said (I think!) that he was having trouble seeing my side-by-side….

so in case that’s happening for others…

PostImage does occasionally have glitches, which usually don’t last long.

You might want to just try again a few minutes later..

 

Another trick I’ve learned which ha helped with my recent problems on THIS site, and could also help there:

Try holding down the shift key when you click the link… depending on what browser you use that clears the cache (mostly useless temp files) or temporarily disables add-ons that could be interfering.

 

But then if there are still problems with my link, let me know, please, so I can try a new upload.

Don’t let him get the drop on you, Sparky. Use your speed, run around behind him, and he won’t stand a chance.

I think I got all of them this time. And Rotifer, I’m not mysterious. I just have two jobs that keep me pretty busy. I don’t have much time for anything else. I’m just getting ready for when everything falls apart, which might not be very much longer. Solar panels and a bunch of downloaded TV shows and movies and other stuff will keep me occupied for a while. Just getting ready to survive.

Time to go to bed… well, past that, but as close as I’m going to get, because I can’t go backwards…. or I’d go to bed two hours ago.

Anyway, I’m going to trust you all with the semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA’s animation solution…

with which she stel entrusts me, to pass on to you….

on the condition, of course, that you DON’T PEEK!

Hope you did well….

I found this one easier than some others lately…

but who knows… I think sometimes it’s just how tired you are, or distracted, or rushed… any number of factors that affect how well you catch little differences in a picture.

I do know there’s one that made me giggle in the animation solution.

 

G’night….

Good morning, those who are about to get up…

Sweet dreams, those who are already sleeping, and anybody who is still up, or just going to bed, like me… if anybody is. Maybe in Hawaii.

I got all 9! I got all 9! I got all 9

WooHoo!

Yippee!

(Susan, it really must be easy if I got them all.)

Not only did I find my usual 8, it took me awhile to find the 9th one in the solution. Maybe I should go back to bed. Always love Cleo in her bumper car!

I missed one, kicked myself when I saw the solution.

Man, this is too much pressure, seemed to take longer than usual, found them, I was beginning to think it was not that easy! LOL

Eight again.
