Maybe it was that giant spot on Jupiter…

Hi, OldTurtle…. looks like you got here waaaay first….

And welcome to outer space, everybody!

At least, Wilbur has invited us to outer space….

where there’s plenty of room to discuss

the June 16th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY” 

Read it on Sherpa… in web space….

You know, Francine is a bit embarrassed, worrying that we’ll all think Wilbur is actually crazy….

cos he likes to tell visitors that his little solar system is the real one.

I’ve reassured her that we get the joke…I see the twinkle in his eye.

But now he’s gone and put Jupiter in underpants.

Not only that, they’re too big.

So of course we can conclude that they’re actually Wilbur’s underpants….

and we’ll all know he wears saggy briefs.

Oh, the mortification!

He thinks it’s funny…. she wants to hide in the basement.

Come on Francine….

we’re comics fans…. here to discuss a comic.

We’re not here to judge a huge planet’s choice of underwear….

or even the maker of said planet’s sanity.

Of course, I can’t speak for everybody in the group….

but what would most of us know about sanity?

I notice he has not put any clothing on Venus.

Personally, I would vote for putting pants on Uranus. But that’s such an old, immature joke, I will not suggest it.

Sheesh, I only have six so far. Must be bed time.

I once rented an apartment to Ms Cleo. She scammed herself into a job at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute in Seattle. She scammed me into renting to her. Then she scammed everybody with a fake cancer story, and left owing everybody money. Then, voila, there she is on TV with a Jamaican accent. I have heard that she died. But that could perhaps be another scam. This is admittedly a rehash of a comment posted when this comic first appeared. But if Nighthawks and Stel can post repeats, why shouldn’t I?

Wait, Dennis!

Puff puff….. whew….

Here’s your side-by-side!

And yeah… I posted a partial rerun the other night of my original comment on Frankenbasset.

If you think of good stuff the first time, seems a shame to waste it… right?

I think you posted that when this one ran as a comic, before it got… um… puzzle-ated.

I hadn’t known till then that there was a “real” Miss Cleo.

Gazing into my crystal ball, I see the solution to today’s Cleo & Co. puzzle.

And remember no peeking or gazing lesin’ you’ve paid the twenty bucks.

Do I have to actually eat some kibble in order to get a kibble bowl reading, or can I just move it around with my nose?

But will Miss Cleo tell Al?

He must be from Mars.

This is one of my favorite Cleo impersonations! And the puzzle wasn’t so bad, either. Unfortunately, I only got 8. And, of course, the one I missed was so easy! Bummer.

Hey, NH…….where’s Madame Cleo’s purplie eyeshadow?

WOW! I got them all today. The planets must be aligned just right…….of course, it could have been the cup of coffee I just finished.

Got nine two weeks in a row! I must be on a roll! (or at least some Melba toast…)
