Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 01, 2009

Oh, I bet he’s real popular in the office.

I do hope that he saves his bouts of creativity for home use only….

Provocative.

What does it do?

RE;J.A.D. when you toot your own horn the only one listening is you!

That’s the absurdist lamp I’ve seen.

They are indeed sudden. And they are bursts. I’m not sure “creativity” would be the first word I’d use to describe it.

Claude is so shamelessly playing the straight man for Cleo’s zingers that I wonder if the two of them set it up in advance. His glow-in-the-dark pocket protector? Please.

Darrick is quite pleased with his artistic creation. But Darla wants to get some light to finish reading her newspaper.

Back in Cleveland, Claude would seem to fit right in with the Ballard Street guys.

Ikea.

Eh, what a maroon!

It’s getting dorkier for Cleo, but it’s getting brighter for us. In just one month, two things will happen. We get to click on 2010 instead of 2009. And, the much better thing. They will change the fix-it date on Sherpa to 2020. So, we get 2 Christmas presents.

Yup…. we’re talking, of course, about the December 1st  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”….

which you can find by following the Sherpa links above.

And as I think I said, the first time this ran…

“Better to light up one little pocket protector, than curse the dorkiness.”

(Aw, c’mon…. we all know the Sunday strips are “Golden Oldies” … but it’s a nice trip down Memory Lane…)

Jay Reider, from yesterday….

I thought that too, at first …but if you watch closely, you can see in the .gif that the cloud doesn’t change…

it just gets partly covered and uncovered.

Dry … You found me… three times! LOL

I answered you on Doonesbury…. (oh! maybe that’s why you came to Cleo.)

And I saw your comment here yesterday… and I got your e-mail. Wow. Thanks. And you’re welcome.

Liverlips… I have thoroughly debated the question of the side by side with myself….

and we have decided….

It’s not cheating in any way, if that’s what you mean…. because it doesn’t change anything or give any hints.

It’s the same two panels, in a different position….

which is how Nighthawks once said he meant it to be, but Sherpa doesn’t allow enough width.

That’s why I started posting it that way in the forum.

Recalling differences from a previous posting is also perfectly legit, IMHO… you’re using your own brain.

Going back to look at a previous solution gif… not so much.

Well done

again

as usual

2 snerks up.

Cleo! You’re such a clever girl! What a sweet puppy. xoxo.

Is that what he calls it?

Claude is the master of Dork Shadows.

Pocket protector Oh well, I am one of the dorkier among us, I didn’t know what it was, I do believe this is an old one, I didn’t know back then either!!!
