Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 29, 2010

Never doubt Ned, Charles…

Parlor games aren’t supposed to wreck the parlor, ya know.

oooooooh……. fun !

ejcapulet said, Parlor games aren’t supposed to wreck the parlor, ya know.

He’s just house-roughing.

So they each have one of those yellow tools, somehow associated with the balls dropping on the keypad. OK Ned, a little more explanation, and another drink, please. Or just the drink would suffice.

Of course we have Sam Basset for tonight’s puzzle. I don’t usually do them till the morning with Susan’s side by side, but I already saw 7 without hardly trying.Thanks for throwing us an easy one from time to time, Mr. Hawks.

Which one is the cue ball?

Good evening, all…. Or morning, or afternoon….

whenever you arrive, prepared to be puzzled…

It’s Saturday Puzzleday in the August 29th 2020 “Cleo and Company”…. on Sherpa.

And yes… It’s Sam Basset, P.I. ….

hard at work, solving some puzzles of his own.

Corned beef or pastrami for lunch? Where did i put my keys?

Was that dame yesterday pretty enough to put up with her lying?

What would Dick Tracy do?

Is that guy out in the halfway here to kill me?

And just think…. all YOU have to do is find 9 little differences.

Do it vertically on Sherpa if you like… Dennis says it’s easy….

So you may not even (sniffle..) need this side by side version…

But here…. I made it for you anyway. (Snif…. ):

The only fitting puzzle for the ongoing series! An oldie but goodie. Dig in!

@Susan Still or yet awake? – Anyhow: I’ll gladly use your side-by-side.

OK – 5 minutes. Got them all. Almost forgot to look at… (spoiler)

Sam had better build himsef a mouse trap.

Never kid a kidder.

Good Morning Ballardeers and frogapplause! Qdate: 169.98259.93 and a cooler day.

Two "Charles’ " from Ballard Street in one day. We’re blessed.

Speaking of blessed… another Maltese Basset excerpt in the form of the Nine Differences .

Y’all keep yourselves calm. (((((HUGS!)))))

OK puzzle folks…

I may have strayed to other strips in the interim…

(Yes, there are other strips in the interim, in case you’re the type who needs to ask… or would that only be me?)

And I may have just maybe doz… I mean… nodded… er… rested my eyes for a bit…

But I would not disappear without delivering the semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA’s animation solution…

As long as she stel provides this gifT© to us, I will pass it to you, my puzzle people.

She gets quite animated, herself, if she thinks I am derelict in my duties… she Can bi quite protective of her work on the animation solution, as is only right.

I hope you have all worked as diligently as she has… and tried your best…

while steering clear of all the gun-play and cigarette smoke in this arc, as reflected in the puzzle.

When you’re ready, you can check her animation solution here…

And don’t worry, Happy³ …

I will never abandon making the side by side…

not as long as I can still use a computer, and any of my puzzle people still need it.

Thank you for your support.

uh oh…..I see ten….

I better change the title to accommodate that

Gee, Nighthawks….is that the first time that YOU were the one to spot the extra difference ???

[snerk]

LOL

WooHoo!!! I got all 10!!! It’s so nice to get them all for a change. Thanks for making it so easy today, NH. And I didn’t even have to count the windows and floor boards this time.

An easy “find the differences”, you say? So Nighthawks is throwing us a bone? {snerk}

Just posing a question: Do you think it’s fair to call Sam Basset “hard bitten”?

Sniffle… Finally found all nine and then you tell me there’s a tenth??!!

(I found number ten too though — nyah, nyah!)

I like that Sam has a picture of Dick Tracy on the wall!

I finally found all of them. My laptop is going out. It goes from a red screen or a green screen or a whit screen and either shuts off or does nothing and I have to shut it off and then turn it back on. I hate having to use the cell phone to type with. Maybe I can find a cheap laptop somewhere. Only 4 more months to go till they don’t fix Sherpa again.

Nine! In less than four minutes! Woo Hoo!

No! No! No! I FOUND NINE! (sobbing)

ten

Good late evening Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan!
