You could strangle him with that tie. Your coworkers won’t say a word….

Wow - I know of someone like this (I don’t have to deal with him but my friend does); I was hoping there was only one!

I work with someone like that too! He actually admits to trying to annoy people and he’s in his early 40’s. His mental or emotional age seems to be stuck at 14.

I always did hate ties.

i see that neal wears a bow tie to avoid reprisals? or maybe because he’s the office clown.

Hi, everybody!

It’s Saturday on the comics… even though it’s still Friday night in my neighborhood…

which is just part of the puzzling turn of events we are encountering…

The other part is, of course, the actual puzzle….

in the Nov 9th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can see and solve on Sherpa

Or go straight to my side by side version…..

Right here:

Then, of course, you can head right back here to discuss it.

And a fine one it is, too…. with Robin Hound and his Merry Men…

Or at least… he hopes they’re his…. and I’m not sure exactly how merry they feel when it comes to this latest recruitment request.

But Robin repeats his pitch, as you can see…. to what looks like the same group…. but somewhere in there, there are changes.

Nine of them, actually…. waiting for YOU to find them.

Fetch!

Great for office productivity, I’m sure. To the Moon, Neal!

I always get taken by surprise by these puzzle nights. I will not stay up late working on it, but for those of you who will, here it is:

Arthur spends his days avoiding Neal…

He’s a serious person….

and he misses the days when work was work, and fun was something you occasionally had on the weekends….

if you weren’t busy with something else that you’d rather be doing.

And right now, he’s fit to be tied.

That tie is like the day is long.

All you got are legs!

Well…. it’s the wee hours of the morning….

I’m watching over the Tiki…. catching up on some paperwork while Fenton tends bar …

It’s never empty on a Friday night, but it’s not so busy that I can’t find time to post the solution gif for all my pals.

Our semi-anonymous gifmaker has come through for us again…

So IF and when you’ve given it your all….

or at least, all of your all you’re ever going to give it….

you can take a look.

But please… if you haven’t given it enough, and you just want to peek before you try any more…

give it one more try first!

For me, for Cleo, for the semi-anonymous gifmaker…

For Nighthawks, slaving away in his studio, making you puzzles….

You can do it!

But if not….

Yeahhh!!! I got all 9!!! must be an easy peasy puzzle today, thank you NH & StelBel!!! I hope everyone is happy & enjoying the changing season, some days iits hard to enjoy but we have to try!!!

Oh my Goodness! I got all 9 in about 3 minutes! I guess the secret is to do the puzzle ‘exhausted’ from buying out Costco and Walmart. At least I got tons of exercise.

Loved all the differences. Lots of fun. Thanks Nighthawks.
