Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 09, 2009

Ginny, you knew that when you married him.

Like that knife action.

Ted thinks he’s karate chopping.

Ted promised Ginny a fancy dinner, so she dressed up to go out on the town. Once again, Ted has let her down.

Hi again, all!

Roaming, you’re awfully early, again… it’s that 17 or 18 hour head start, isn’t it.

Anyhow… another Saturday, another batch of puzzle fun….

on the Feb 9th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can find on Sherpa

Solve it and comment right here….

Feel free to use my side-by-side version…

So…. anyway… I think I recently used the phrase “Watch this space”, myself, right here on Cleo, when I posted my link but the strip wasn’t up yet.

It always makes me wonder…. um…. what is that space going to do?

Turn upside down? Tap dance? Cook dinner?

Whatever it is, this time, it hasn’t done it by the second panel, so presumably that’s not one of the differences.

Sorry if that’s a spoiler, but you can tell anyway, by the fact that the sign is still on the window in Panel 2.

Speaking of spoilers…. a refresher, or for those who haven’t heard….

Please … we don’t mention or even give clues to any actual differences we find, until the latecomers get a chance to solve it on their own.

x_Tech posts the solution .gif as a link, not visibly….

As long as you don’t click it, or on NeilWick’s GCLinks, till you’re ready, it won’t spoil your fun.

And Rotifer’s lists generally contain no real clues…. except hints about his ..um… unusual mode of thinking….

Meanwhile… I’m feeling a bit roughly chopped myself, the last few days….

but Spring is coming!

And in spite of the cold and rain… it was light till 5:40 tonight!

I’m not going to take sides between Ginny and Ted….

but I do think it’s nice that he’s helping.

They’re making us a big tuna salad, and other sandwich “fixings” …

And we still have brownies and cookies from yesterday…. thanks, ML!

Ginny is envious of Ted’s technique. Not exactly the French chopping style, but it gets the job done.

These Ballard guys even have pockets on their aprons! But what – Ho…Empty pockets! What gives?

Only found my usual seven differences so far, I’ll keep looking.

If you have been watching this space, waiting for the solution to today’s Cleo & Co. puzzle, good news, It’s here!

And as always no peeking.

It’s a good way to end up with finger food.

Why? Does it do tricks?

I love how Claude is “watching” this space! A real treasure. And how sweet of Cleo not saying anything.

I did it again! 4th week in a row getting all 9! WooHoo! It took me a lot longer than Alexi, though. Thanks for the fun, Nighthawks. And to Susan and X for helping us with the solutions!

Six minutes for me. Does he who gets it in the shortest time get a prize??

Okay, I found nine. Now how many do you really want us to find? Eleven? Thirteen…?
