Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 25, 2010

No, gracious lady, a most worthy opponent. We shall meet this morn on the greensward whilst I defend your honor.

Yes, he just stopped by to siege me.

Good ones, both of you!

No, he’s a traveling catapult salesman giving a curbside demo.

I always love the comments here. Always good!

I hope they have the right homeowner’s insurance.

To the battlements! Boil some oil, woman!

Great comic and comments… wahahahahahahahaha !

Looks like the ‘chainmail man’s’ on the porch…

Get out your trebuchet man and loft one back at em’..

Watch out for that Oldsmobile parked in the street..

Some homeowner’s associations are downright barbaric. That magenta porch is definitely a violation.

Four minutes.

Nice one. Are they on their way to a shotgun wedding or why are they all dressed up?

OK, give yourself a minute to take it all in. It seems that the Medieval Warfare Club has taken to the streets. Knight Errol has begun an assault on Knight Leon’s magenta fortress, and he has lots more ammunition! Will Knight Leon cut his rope? Stay tuned!!

Got seven real quick, will look for more in the AM after covfefe.

Sorry; I forgot to post the link to sherpa: http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwy&uc_full_date=20200425

Click it if you love Cleo!!!

Hiyo, Cleo pals and puzzle people!

Saturday again… and even caught in the midst of medieval warfare on Ballard Street…. we’re here to find nine differences between the two panels of

the April 25th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can do on Sherpa, of course… if you so desire…

Or go, as I usually recommend, straight to my side by side version:

I think Clara looks very nice….

I don’t question the fact that sometimes she likes to dress up.

Perhaps there are other visitors, and she wants to feel self confident….

Or maybe she dressed up, knowing she’d be in a puzzle, and carefully scrutinised.

Oftentimes the puzzles are made from older cartoons…. I’m sure sometimes she feels a bit ambushed.

She didn’t know, back in 2015 or 2016, when she went to the grocery store, or cooked dinner at home, that in 2020 we’d be examining her clothes!

& 

Anyway… love the “Push, Push Push” sign.

Does it look like he’s a friend of mine?

Should I stay or should I go?

Okay… back, as usual, way past a reasonable bedtime….

Gotta leave you with our kindly semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA’s animation solution…

so that you can see any differences you may have missed…

But ONLY, of course, after you’ve done your very best to find them.

The semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA is stel requesting that you give it a good try, so that she doesn’t feel as though she is helping you cheat.

Cheating is STEL not allowed!

That said…. here you go…. as I call it… “From Here to Maternity”…

Wrapping up a few loose ends…. staring with yesterday…

Nighthawks…

Hope you saw my late reply to your reply about animations… and Stel’s replies to me, as well.

And speaking of the replies to my post…

Montana Lady… I know. We could at least get to see stars like they promised!

OTOH… JP Steve… that might… um… well, maybe explain a few things…. :)

Lastly… for today… it’s not about Cleo, but….

There has never been any shortage of interest in and use of medieval weaponry and costuming on Ballard Street:

and

Just for example.

from here to maternity….good one!

“Real” weaponry is a lot more phun and dangerous than Role Playing board or computer games.

Good Morning Ballardeers! Rain and cold on Q-43… (as Eeyore) whoopy.

Y’all be safe out there.

hm……it appears that this hospital is inside the leaning tower of Pisa….any pushing to be done should be on that wall

“really folks, this is supposed to be funny?”

(that was MyFavoriteQuote™)

I didn’t even know Cleo was pregs!

I had to stop at 8. The first 7 were easy, and like Susan promised, # 8 was real subtle. The one I missed was durn easy. Harrumph!

And, Susan , thanks as always for the side-by-side. It’s a BIG help!

Got them all today!! I think I will go out and celebrate….or, I guess, just stay in and celebrate. Darn!!

Ah, there it is. Thanks Susan!

Eight and holding…

That’s an onager, not a trebuchet.

8

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

3 minutes wow, don’t believe it!
