Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 09, 2008

I haven’t enjoyed a strip this much since “The Far Side” went away!

Hello again, everybody… even Bineaux!

I’m very glad you enjoyed this strip ten years ago, Bineaux…. but I see by your profile that you’ve never been back.

You seem to be the silent type….

Maybe you’d like to join us…. we’re here to post our comments on

the June 9th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can read, along with us, on Sherpa

Look….. there’s Carl, in front of the Lacey’s house, riding his horse, Old Mahogany.

He’s only about two doors from home.

Oh, dear…. he seems to be having a problem.

Hi Carl!

Would you like some help carrying him home?

There are half a dozen people coming along soon….

we can each take a cha….. I mean, a leg, or um…. some other part….

and after he’s safely home, you can come with us to my salon,

and have some little sandwiches and a piece of apple pie, and talk about Cleo.

Maybe Montana Lady will even make cookies (hint).

Oh, I see.

Well, sure … I understand if you’d rather wait for the… um… the vet…

is he a regular vet, if you don’t mind my asking?

Or a … a wooden horse vet?

Oh…. Madeline Lacey is calling one for you?

That’s nice of her, isn’t it…..

I’ll just mosey along then…..

Good luck!

Hope Old Mahogany will be OK….

and we see you back on the trail soon.

Only found 8. Help, Susan and X!

Bineaux, come back!

Never fear, Dennis!

Help is on the way….

Here’s your side by side (well, you do have to share it with the others… Hope that’s ok):

Happy solving!

But no peeking. Remember Cleo has her paws on the plunger.

I got 9!!!

I got 9!!! Woo Hoo!

This certainly doesn’t happen all that often for me. (I’m sure it was Cleo’s inspiration……she was holding that plunger as X pointed out.)

I’ve been through the desert with a horse that folded.

Don’t touch that plunger. Cleo will be right back.

8 for me – I missed an easy one. I’ve even had my first cup of coffee.

Okay, how many are there really? I found nine in under five minutes. Based on previous experience that means there must be at least twenty differences this week!

Only got 8, I missed the plunger box wires!
