Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 23, 2010

Scary!

Morning, Marg!

‘Morning, EJ! At least they’re keeping their natures clothed….

a little fettering would not hurt these two.

We have to believe in free will. We have no choice.

Liberal libertarians.

I thought he same thing margueritem !

They’re in unfine unfetter.

I endorse the sentiment. But are they anti-vaxers?

Puzzle night! I will probably take a look tomorrow, I would like to get a good night’s sleep tonight.

She has to knock you senseless and drag you all the way home.

Naturally nuts with no additives.

Dennis is right, Cleo Fans and Puzzle-doers…

Saturday night and we have a new puzzle, on Sherpa…

in the May 23rd  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

Once again… you can do it there, with just your eyes and brain…

or you can download that version and paste it into Paint….

even print it… so you can mark the differences as you go.

But I suggest you use my side by side version instead….

Voila:

Sorry, Dennis… perhaps you might have stayed up had I gotten this to you sooner…

Then again, maybe you didn’t want to anyway.

Sleep is overrated, though…

I seem to be doing fine on almost n…………..zzzzzzzz

OH!!!

I just woke up…. er… I mean I stopped resting my eyes….

to tell you that, the title notwithstanding, there are TEN differences again this week.

Gosh… we’re going to get spoiled if Nighthawks keeps giving us bonuses.

 

Also… I did get a new animation solution from our kindly, semi-anonymous, animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA.

I’ll post it a bit later.

This week you won’t have to suffer with an amateur one from me….

but one of these days, I’ll be able to post my own.

I know how difficult it Can bi for the semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA to have to make one every week, so I hope to at least share the burden.

Meanwhile, she is stel doing them.

Thanks, semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA.

 

Meanwhile…. wow… TWO Claudes.

It takes TWICE as much willpower to avoid blowing up a building, or sinking into the Earth….

or maybe getting stuck in prehistoric times.

(Say… how did they get back…?)

 

Twice as much exasperation for poor Clara…

and at least twice as many eye rolls for Cleo.

Watch out, Cleo…. you keep doing that… and as my mother always said…

they might STAY that way!

Gosh… attendance is a bit underwhelming so far tonight….

I made two comments, three hours ago…. after Dennis and Grog… Hi guys!

I just refreshed the page, and so far, I’ve had no replies, and no “likes” …

and there are no newer posts at all.

Where are you, Liverlips, and Farside? Plods?

 

I know when I wake up, more of you will be here,

The ladies usually arrive more toward morning…

G’morning, Perkycat and Montana Lady… and eventually Dry.

JP Steve, Happy Happy Happy and Jay Rieder all usually show up kinda late on puzzle days, to compare notes.

And all you others… I can’t list everybody every time…. but welcome.

 

I’ll go ahead leave you the animation solution, before I go to bed.

You who are still to arrive can monitor each other for peeking….

though I’m sure none of you would do that anyway.

Right?

 

Here you go….

I’ll try to come back when I smell the coffee and waffles…

or … sigh… maybe a little later….

Happy solving.

GOOD MORNING BALLARDEERS! DAY 70345 OF SELF QUARANTINE!

As much as I love my family in the house and on line, I miss face to face people.

Looks like a good day. Sun and warm. Found my SPF 50 sun screen and just got an SPF 50 hoodie. They call it a fishing shirt. Stupid meds. Not only am I a “ghost” outside of the house I actually look like one now.

Be good to yourselves! MEGA (((((HUGS)))))

Smart kid on Bob’s Your Uncle today.

I only got 7 today. And the 3 I missed were easy, too. Who can I blame it on?

I only got 9 today. There are only supposed to be nine!! Most of the time I would be a winner with 9. Grrrrr!! Push that button, Claude!

NINE! There are only nine! Nine are all there is!

http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwy&uc_full_date=20200523

OK – 4 minutes for the first 9, 4 more for the extra.

I am under the weather today – heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon; I was terribly sick because of that

Good afternoon Balladeers, Plods and Miss Susan. Warm and sunny here. Time for me to get my summer clothes out, but “dang it”! I don’t feel like doing “squat”! Darn pandemic, sure is depressing ! :-(I guess I will try to plant some flowers today though.

Not counting the two little glitches in the lettering that Jay Rieder found…

There are TEN.

 

But I’m thinking a lot of people may have missed the same one…

I almost did, cos it’s very teeny, and rather faint….

while my computer is a small laptop (14") with underwhelming resolution.

You may not even notice it in the gif, at first

But it’s there.

 

If anybody wants a bigger hint…

reply and I’ll post one later

I planted some of my flowers today! It felt good to do that! :-D And it was a nice sunny, warm day! :-)

As long as their free will is ALL they allow to go unfettered, I’m fine with it.
