Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 10, 2009

Ted wishes that he would show his devotion some other way…

Looks like doggy insecurity.

Roll the newspaper, Ted.

Hey, I feel hot breath on my knee.

That is so sweet.

Hello Cleo pals and puzzle doers..

And wandering strangers we hope will become both.

Tonight, or today, depending on your time zone (and if all goes as planned), we’ll be solving and talking about a new “Find some number of differences (probably nine)” puzzle…

On the August 10th 2019 “Cleo and Company” strip…

Which by then should be available on Sherpa… (Nighthawks willin’ an’ the crick don’t rise.)

You might want to wait for my side by side version, though…

It’s a little easier to see that way.

I’m off for the county fair… the third-to-last day…

posting this early, because I’m about to leave, already quite late.

Though I’ll try to be on time, I could get home a bit after the turn…

And later still, a solution gif, if by then, our stel semi-anonymous gif-maker has responded to my plea.

Wow… here I am….

And here’s your side by side:

Enjoy!

Doesn’t seem like one of the most difficult ones.

A little later than I thought, too…. sorry… I ran into some friends as I was about to leave the fair

(yes, they’re OK now. I just know somebody was going to ask.)….

And then, because it was one of two free days for seniors…

the parking lot was so crowded it took 45 minutes to get let out onto to the street and then drive the first couple of blocks near the fairgrounds.

Still…. I thought somebody would have posted something by now….

Even if only about that sweet doggie, Bochamp….

and how much trouble Ted would be in (at least from me, if not you guys) if he dared follow Superfrog’s advice!

Rolled up newspaper my eye!

It’ll be on your behind, if you ever do that in front of me.

I may be old… even a bit feeble… but I’m very determined.

That is a peculiar name for a dog.

It popped in out of thin air.

Hi Susan. I’m not looking at the puzzle tonight, after having a long keyboard nap. I know that is not the best conditioning for puzzling. Thanks for posting the link.

I am having some problems with double vision, so I will have to find EIGHTEEN differences.

For all my precious puzzle pals….

I give you our gift gif…. courtesy of our gifted gifmaker….

who stel desires to remain anonymous…. which she… um… or he… Can do, if she… (or possibly he, of course,) so chooses.

No ice cream for you, if you look at it before you find all nine differences!

OK…. before I take another nap….

thanks, Susan!

Bochamp is goofy.

Those must be left over zoot suit pants.

I’ll just pop in and say a quick “Good Morning” to all our C&C Family. Today is cleaning lady day and we have to vacate the premises.

See ya later this afternoon.

That’s an ice mess you’ve got us into, Nighthawks…

I was enjoying the comic before I realized it is ‘find the differences’. Got them all today – too easy peasy.

I like easy peasy once in a while! Got ’em all. WooHoo!

Now I get to put all the food away. Lucky me.

I love Cleo’s little red bowtie.
