Bad Dog!!!!

but clean Morning, Marge

If only my dog were this enthusiastic about taking a bath!

I wonder Why Dear…keep watching the TV…I’m sure its nothing….

Call him Archimedes. He’s made a new discovery about the displacement of floating ducks.

Well, at least he’s out of the closet.

Oh My Goodness !

Anatomically speaking…that dog is being drawn weirder and weirder…uhmm…more weird?

You think that’s weird, just wait until he unleashes the duck.

Isn’t that it’s tail?

Who knew a dog could enjoy a bath so much?

Get that dog a towel and a BIG bathrobe!

Oh Boy, just as I was preparing to crash, here is a puzzle:

Have fun!

Less than 3 minutes. Yes; all of the 10 differences today.

Welcome, Cleoites and People of the Puzzle…!

Saturday again…. and we’re here to search for differences…

between the two panels of the May 9th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Guess what! We have another bonus difference from our ever so generous cartoonist…. TEN again!

Use Dennis’ link to solve it on Sherpa… or Tigressy’s if she sneaks one in while I’m typing…

Or… as I always recommend…. go straight to my side-by-side version… which is called “nine differences” but a tenth one is included… gratis!… right HERE:

I’m having trouble with the site tonight… pages are slow, and I can’t seem to give likes… or open some replies…

and so far I haven’t gotten Sherpa to open.

But if Dennis saw a puzzle it must have been posted.

Usually after a while this stuff resolves itself.

I’ve got to go see whether the rest of my comics are opening…

then I’ll be back with the animation solution from our semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA…

who is stel kind enough to bring us her .gifT.

BTW there’s one tiny difference I came this close to missing…

and two that are kinda near each other… but still two.

I don’t think that’s a spoiler… just a heads up.

Just wait until the bath falls through the ceiling.

It alarms me that Cleo would need an alarm clock.

Ginger (up above) must be a retriever.

I can tell you one diff right off. Of the little portrait photos on the dresser, one is of Cleo and the other is of her sister Chloe.

I vote that Clara & Claude should buy Cleo her own big, comfy dog bed. It would look great in her M-1 Abrams tank!

OK, I’m back, as promised, with today’s animation solution….

Direct, well, I guess semi-direct, since I’m the middleman…. er… middlewoman….

from the semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA

She stel would like me to say, again, that you must try to solve the puzzle before you peek.

Also remember there are ten differences, so keep on looking after you find nine…

Then when you’re finished… or you absolutely MUST give up because people are yelling at you to come have breakfast,

or to get out of there, cos they want to use….. whatever…

you can look HERE:

and see all the differences leaping about, including the teeny one I almost couldn’t see.

Talking about “peeking” reminds me…

it’s a bit off topic, but when has that ever stopped me?

Yesterday I read an online article in a prestigious newspaper,

which I won’t name…. but it rhymes with… um…

“The True Fork Dimes”…

In which the author mentioned his curiosity being “peaked.”

NO NO NO.

Save that for your local Hick Gazette…

this is the Big Time, baby.

I don’t think it was a current article, so I couldn’t even write a concerned letter to the editor….

But I’m starting to think “piqued” is disappearing from the English language,

fueled by comment forums on the internet.

As I’ve said many times, I don’t care if commenters can’t spell…

I don’t even care if my friends can’t spell….

and I don’t correct fellow posters, cos it’s rude.

Some of the most brilliant people I’ve known were not perfect spellers….

and one of the best spellers I know, amazingly, is developmentally disabled.

But if you’re gonna write for the …. er…. the “Blue Dork Crimes”….

Buy a &%$@# dictionary…. or just visit Merriam Webster online… it’s free!

Good morning BALLARDEERS. Well at least for you. Still changing passwords… need to go to the bank and make sure my card is locked out and get a transaction back. yay for me Expecting a call from Amazon in the next few days to check if I’m okay. Fortunately, all of my purchases had gone through before I got the text warning and I shut it down.

Gotta get my kid to take me to the bank to get cash… Drive thru only is open. What pain in the @ss!

Good morning Balladeers, Plods and Miss Susan!

I can’t believe I only got 8! It sure was tricky, Mr. Nighthawks. But, I’m hungry, and need to start my day. Congratulations to all you clever folks who got all 10!

Why, thank you, MontanaLady! I got all 10. It’s a miracle, I tell ya! A miracle!! Now I can go get breakfast. I sure miss going out to breakfast…….someday, someday.

Stuck on nine here. I’ll give it a little longer…
