Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 28, 2011

Maybe you can convince him you’re moored at a dessert island.

Good evening/morning/whenever you get here, People of Cleo, and Puzzle Pals…

I have been informed that the new, daily edition of “Cleo and Company” will NOT air on Sherpa for the last two days of that site…

 

The Find the Differences Puzzle… ie, the Feb 27th, 2021 “Cleo and Company” is NOT posted on Sherpa.

You will find it on https://cleoandcompany.net (the link to bookmark) by clicking on today’s date…

or to go straight there tonight, visit

https://cleoandcompany.net/february-27-2021/

 

Or… if you like, go straight to my side by side version….

Come back here to comment…

But check out the new site later to see some other pictures and posts.

You can leave a comment there too, of course, if you like.

My head is spinning.

Too many cats for me to deal with tonight. Susan, I was hoping Nighthawks would be able to post side by side in the new format, and you would not have to leap in.

I like this couple in Ballard Street, cooperatively navigating the rough seas of the back porch.

I’ve got only 8 so far…

I really like this puzzle!But I have to go to bed soon, so I’m going to go ahead and trust you all not to peek, if I post the solution now.

If you don’t want all these cats showing up on your doorstep… you’d better be GOOD!

Um… if you DO want all these cats showing up on your doorstep… you’d better be good anyway…. and you’re nuts.

 

When you’ve done your best, though… go ahead and check your solution here:

Meanwhile… does everybody recognise all the kitties?

I think I know all but one, and he looks awfully familiar, but I can’t place him.

That’s the one whose head is leaning on the arm of the couch next to the lampshade.

I mean this guy:

Anybody know him?

 

There’s another one I’m not really sure of, but I think I’ve guessed right.

That’s the black one on the TOP of the couch, at the same end, spitting a disgusting hairball.

 

It’s like a whole second puzzle, figuring them out!

I know… I’ll label the picture (minus the one cat above that I don’t know) … and you can compare your answers to mine.

Hang on while I do that…..

 

That didn’t take very long, did it?

You should probably solve the real puzzle first, just so you don’t notice anything that could be any sort of spoiler…

Then when you’re ready, go here:

Let me know if I got anybody wrong, OK?

This is your pilot speaking. Stuff it!

I got all of them. Took a while. Only one more day to go till the entire website is gone.

Tom without Jerry is like Stimpy without Ren and Sylvester without Tweety.

I got my 2nd inoculation yesterday.

I didn’t get any skin discoloration, but i have plenty of site discomfort to make up for it.

The worst for me was/is a killer headache and chills. I had a hard time sleeping because i’d wake up sweating and freezing.

I also have a bit of fatigue.

I get my 2nd dose on 3-17 and leave for St. Thomas on 3-18. What could possibly go wrong?

Good Morning, Cleoites?, Company Peeps? Fans Formerly Known as Ballardeers? Youse Guys? NH – Help me out here

Q Date: 351.98758.29 National Kahlua, Polar Bear, Retro, Strawberry, Anosmia Awareness Day. (whew)

They need to move the party to the car so he can use auto pilot.

Always struggle with find the differences. I eventually get em after my first 3 cups of coffee. Right now? < 1/2 cup

Y’all wrestle that old polar bear’s Coke from him, make a Colorado Bulldog, dip some strawberries in chocolate and relax…. Your sense of smell may be back someday.

(((((HUGS FOR ALL!)))))

Got them all today. My mind(?) must like the new site. Couldn’t find the bowling ball, though……is there a bowling ball??

I got all 9!

I got all 9!!!!

I thought it was extra hard because it was soooooooooo busy!! Good choice for our last Sherpa puzzle.

All through the puzzle, one song attached itself via ear worm: We are Siamese if you please….

I’ve been stuck on seven for a couple of hours now…

I think a couple are pretty subtle.

I managed to find them… But still…

Shoot! – No ladder here. Minus the donut.

Cleo should have dunked the people who are deleting Sherpa tomorrow. At least I saved the page so I can look for the old comics somewhere else.

Cleo doesn’t believe in doing things the easy way.

A sad/happy day… as we bid goodbye to Sherpa…

home of “Cleo and Company” for almost-exactly-but-not-quite seven years…. .

 

Not counting an intro strip on March 16th, the first actual Cleo comic, on March 19th, 2014, was about cops and doughnuts…

(Those links may or may not open anything by later this morning.)

Today’s Feb 28th, 2021 “Cleo and Company” is about a doughnut too…

but it’s not on Sherpa… it’s on her shiny new site.

I can’t claim that it’s some amazing coincidence because she’s been on her new site instead of Sherpa for three days now.

 

Speaking of the new site, it appears to be a slam dunk just like Cleo’s doughnut move….

A surprising number of Cleoites are already commenting there, though I thought the migration would be slower.

I put my puzzle side-by-side and solution here on Ballard Street, and I’m commenting here now, because that was what Nighthawks announced that we were doing…

Next week I’ll post them in both places.

 

Do most of you want to move the bulk of our commenting over there?

What about some of you who seldom comment here, but often lurk…

you’re readers too.. I mean Catstaff, Roaming, DeeCeeWye, Peam… and any others I haven’t seen for a while…

are you still reading “Cleo”… and will you please come and play on https://CleoandCompany.net ??

 

We hate to lose anybody….

Eventually, we may not be able to stay here anyway,

but for now, I’d love to see you all in whichever spot you prefer.

My Favorite Part™ was Thumbs up!

Cleo channeling her inner Dr. J!

Good morning Ballardeers! Q Date: 351.9870.96 National Rare Disease Day

There are 4 others, but I’m going with this one for personal reasons. If you want to see the others, I use this site: https://nationaldaycalendar.com/what-day-is-it/

I love a good Dunkin’ Donut. Creativity and imagination always makes it taste better.

Y’all have a great day and keep the Rare Disease peeps in your thoughts.

(((((HUGS for everyone!)))))

I just wanted to stop in here and offer my fervent and eternal gratitude to all you guys who have stuck by CleoandCompany here
