Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 27, 2009

How OCD of him.

Actually, this looks like a lot of fun. I remember when I was quite young, lining up all the chairs and seeing if I could go anywhere in the house without touching the ground.

LOL chromosome, me too. The floor was hot lava.

Troy is overtly fond of his grass. I sympathize with ya, Troy.

I’m sure Troy has the best lawn in town! And Helen likes the extra clothesline space.

I fell asleep over my keyboard after 5. Nighthawks, you can be very annoying when you don’t make changes where I expect!

Pour some of that hot mud on him. He’ll move.

He must have smoked some of it.

Howdy, Cleo puzzle pals…

even any of you newcomers who don’t even know you’re about to be addicted….

There’s a new one to solve, today,

in the April 27th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Find it on Sherpa

Or use my side by side version….

In either case I always recommend copying and pasting the image into a simple image editing program like MS Paint,

so you can circle or otherwise mark the differences, to keep track.

Personally, I rounded-square them.

Why are Claude and Clara staring at Cleo?

I can’t remember, cos this sort of scene shows up in several similar strips.

(Whoa…. hope I don’t have to pay extra for overuse of "S"’s.)

We were supposed to go to Troy and Helen’s today to help them learn to find the differences….

But just yesterday, Troy got a rather late invitation to show pictures and talk about his lawn at today’s meeting of the North Side Pulley Club.

I think they already had a scheduled speaker…. Mr Allison, of Allison’s Wheel Grease ’N Stuff on Boynton… but he slipped and fell.

Anyway, I don’t blame Troy for wanting to do his presentation.

Hmmm… grease makes me think of Heidi’s Donuts and Donut Holes…. it’s on Stanton near Ballard Park.

Shall we meet there, today, for a change?

Before I go over to Troy’s to shoot some hoops I better post the solution to today’s Cleo & Co. puzzle.

Best part of hoops at Troy’s is there’s never a call for traveling because your feet never touch the ground.

It’s a trick! There are only seven today!

7 oh well better luck next week!!! That’s serious “keep off the grass”!

I even waited until we got back from town so I wouldn’t be rushed, and still only got 7. Harrumph!

It looks like a new strip today…….Star Trek clothes for Claude? Glad it wasn’t a red shirt.

one of the ones that is a real optical illusion (at least to me) was the oval rug.

even after I knew it was different , I had to look at it twice before I saw it……I must admit that there are a couple

subtle but distinct differences on a couple of them

how many differences are there?

to quote old Adolph in ‘Inglorious Basterds’: NEIN! NEIN! NEIN!

Had to use Susan’s side-by-side to find the differences today. When the image is that large, I can only see one at a time when they are positioned one on top of the other. The Star Fleet uni was a nice touch.
