    I love the look on the dog’s face and his wife is casually drinking her tea. LOL

    I love the variety of Cleo’s poses. Very athletic and graceful.

    It may simply be my bad eyesight, but it seemed to me as if the animation was more smooth when going left to right than it was right to left. Don’t know why.

    Interesting, too, are the parallels between this strip and the one ten years hence. Just like yesterday, I might add.

    He sounds like Archy Bell and the Drells.

    Welcome, all, to the comments for the March 8th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

     

    Normally, Cleo is on Sherpa… at

    http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwy

    But today, instead, the link to a great new Cleo animation is in Nighthawk’s post, above.

     

    And wow!

    Look at her go. Great trick riding…. and great animation!

    Of course, riding a scooter through the living room…

    and right in front of people trying to watch TV…

    would surely be frowned upon by less indulgent “parents.”

     

    But Clara and Claude, being older, and childless, let their little baby get away with…. well…. maybe not literally murder…. but almost.

    Ok… maybe literally…. depending on what she accomplishes with her assorted weaponry.

    Then again…how many people have a movie star, who earns her own kibble, and hopefully helps with the household expenses?

    All right…. but at least you could say “Excuse me”, Cleo.

     

    Farside… it’s all about, not “memory,” but file size.

    Every time anything moves, another drawing, or “layer”, is added to the gif, to show it in the new position.

    Cleo’s fancy tricks required a lot of layers.

    I see that today’s animation is 2.5 Mb.

    AFAIK, Sherpa allows only 1  Mb…. so she wouldn’t be able to show off so much there.

     

    Dennis… I didn’t get back in time to answer..

    Off the top of my head, besides Sheriff Monkeyblues, and Alexikakos,

    we have my friend Dogsniff, and Mudd, from whose profile Happyx3 reports… Bruno Ziegerts…

    I know there are others… some innocent, some who …sorry… earned their banishment.

    I won’t rat out those here under new names, their original ones still banned.

    The thing is, it’s arbitrary, unexplained, and not done to some who deserve it.

     

    Montana Lady… hope you’re both OK.

    What a terrific new animation, NH and SB!!!! Love Cleo’s poses, especially the reclining one. What a crack up!

    As far as MMM goes, he is progressing, slowly. He may be able to go home tomorrow!! And then, it’ll be months before his lungs clear. I’ll keep y’all posted.

    Baby steps!

    xoxo

    After sitting at home all day watching yesteday’s inclement (one might almost say incontinent) weather, I can sympathize with Cleo’s “cabin fever!”
