Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 03, 2008

In C&C I’m the blind guy on the left, squinting to try to find 9 differences.

Haarumph! says Neal. Was I ever married to a supermodel? Did I ever win a million, and blow it? I never skiied the Alps, dove in the Galapagos, nor hiked the Great Wall.

It’s interesting that I look at the first panel and wonder, "Where would I modify this if I were NightHawks? Well, you got a few the same. Obviously, I’m not up to the same caliber as NH. {^¿^}

Got 7 before being overwhelmed with desire for cherry pie. Fortunately I had some left over in the fridge. I will await Susan and X’s helpers.

One of these day Neal will realize that none of the photos are about him.

Hi, everybody….

in fact, I see some of you have already started…..

it’s in the Oct 30th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

which you’ll find on Sherpa

Since I’m a bit late….. I’ll get right to the side-by-side:

Let’s head on over to my pie shop…. there’s LOTS of cherry pie there, Dennis! My treat!

Plus coffee, tea, and all sorts of other baked goods….

not quite as wide a selection as my bakery… but more kinds of pie.

The strip above reminds me of “It’s a Wonderful Life”… (sorry, X) …

with Alice taking on the role assigned to Clarence.

Good is far from wonderful.

That diner looks a little lopsided.

Just for Dennis here’s a little Cherry Pie.

For everyone else here’s the solution to Saturday’s Cleo & Co. puzzle

Remember you can have all the Cherry Pie you want but no peeking.

Thanks, X…

Nice cherry pie….

And BTW…. some of you may recognise this puzzle….

and think you solved it last year…

But it’s not really a re-run….

It’s been re-worked, and the nine differences today are … well… different differences from the ten differences that were in that one.

The reason I mention it, other than to warn the usual suspects that re-posting last year’s solutions won’t work….

is that the 2017 version was StelBel’s work.

Nighthawks…. is this one yours or Stel’s?

Nice work, whichever of you did it…. I’d just like to put the credit where it’s due.

Not that you can buy a cup of coffee with it….

though if I save all my Cleo and Company wages for a few weeks I might have earned enough to buy you one….

as long as it’s regular coffee…. not one of those fancy mocha-frappa whatcha-call-it jobs.

Let’s see… at $00.00 a week… times six weeks…..

I had to get out the tablet and turn it side-ways. I’ve found 8 of them. Still looking.

I got 8 also! I’ll bet NH only did 8 today! Yeah, that’s it.

It still was fun. Love all those creepy crawly things. Maybe that’s why the blind guy can sit and read the newspaper while all that “stuff” is going on.

Yup, 8!!!

If I find nine, do I stop looking or are there more sneakeys this week?

That thumbnail, dammit!

NINE! —-there’s NINE!

It took me an inordinately long amount of time, over a couple of days an multiple rounds of scrutiny, but I found nine. NH was true to his word.
