Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 18, 2010

Spunky’s gone mobile!

Spunky’s probably a whole lot better company than the dog!

The Spunkymobile.

Perhaps perpetual motion has been discovered?

Hello possums.

Perpetual motion is my wife’s mouth. “What Dear? Yes Dear. Coming Dear. You’re right Dear.”

clever, Jerry … wonder if it WOULD work with modifications?

Isnt that the way hybrids work?

Ted looks happy.

We wished we lived in that neighborhood. Lunch.

A pocket would be cheaper and bring them even closer.

Somehow, I can’t see this on the sidewalks of New York. There’s be a reversal of roles for sure.

Wow, 12 ten-year old comments.

I think Ted and Spunky have found a great way of bonding! And on rainy days, they can go back to the treadmill and the wheel.

Nighthawks? NIGHTHAWKS!! Wake up!

Hello, Cleo pals…..

We have another fine Saturday puzzle to solve… but I’m still seeing yesterday’s ’toon

Instead of the the Jan 18th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

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

I don’t know whether that’s because Nighthawks hasn’t posted, or, more likely, it’s another glitch…

But I’m going to go out on a limb and assume it’s on the way…

And let you start with my side by side version:

As soon as I got on the site tonight, right at the turn, it quit working for me….

I tried for 15 minutes to post a test comment.

When it all started working, I noticed that none of my non-Sherpa comics were updated.

They all just did, about 10 minutes ago.

In case it all stops again, I’m going to post this without further comment…. except for…

I’ll be back!

Well, I think I got them all, but I will wait for confirmation from our anonymous benefactor.

I was talking to a neighbor just the other day…

a young woman, who surely could use something like Ted has created for Spunky.

She was trying to walk a rather wild and very rambunctious little companion.

But …. sigh…. I suppose there’s some kind of law saying you can’t use it for human children.

Old strip – new comment: KATHUMPity thump, thump, KATHUMPity, thump, thump, look at Cleo go into the hills of snow.

They’re off to find Ted’s marbles, no doubt.

YES!

Less than 5 minutes – and that despite the fact I’d like Dr. Bones to move over a bit…

Feeling better now, but had somehow managed to give myself a bad stomach – and beyond…

After 4:30 am EST and still no update on Sherpa. Are we back in Glitch City?

It’s important to have quality time with your pets.

I thought a couple of today’s differences were a bit hard to spot…

Though I did find them all.

I really have no idea how long it took… I don’t time myself, and I tend to be interrupted.

But I maintain x_Tech’s rule for myself that I can’t look at the gif…. I mean, the animation solution… when the semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker-PERFECTIONISTA sends it to me, until I solve it.

One day I might be stuck, and have to break that rule, I suppose, in order to post the solution on time… but I’ll feel guilty…

and of course, I did fail to see the sky changing in last weeks puzzle.

BTW… I love the drawing of the beer can,

though I was thinking Indiana Bones would drink something stronger than Curs…

at least it’s not Curs Light!

But I picture him throwing back a shot of Jack Spaniels.

I know, I know…. I shouldn’t be promoting alcohol consumption….

But heck, pretty much the only place I have any alcohol, myself, in real life, is at the Tiki…

and Indy’s a hard driving, adventurous cartoon character.

Please don’t tell me the Tiki isn’t real life. It is too!

Oh…. were you looking for the…um…. animation solution?

Have you tried really hard to find all the differences?

You have?  Honest?

OK, then go here:

Only a couple reasons why today’s Cleo hasn’t been updated. She’s either still recovering from her head thump or she’s back on the ski slope. I just know it couldn’t be the ones who deleted the entire series. Naw, it couldn’t be that. Especially after they promised to fix Sherpa three years ago and still have done nothing.

Relax everybody; all is fine.

The first thing I thought of when I saw today’s Cleo and Co was a sentence after we need your help. The badge just kinda reminded me of the FBI Warnings.

“Someone copied a copyright protected video.”

I’ll go take my meds now.

I can dig it!

Wow! Is this a preview of the Indiana Bones series? In honor of that, I got all 9! WooHoo! Hooray! (and a little ole Fa La La).

Love Indiana Bones!

I got my usual 8.. I guess I need to spend more time on it.

First time for all 9. Now I wonder how old that beer is! It has the two church key punches instead of the pull tab! I guess it’s appropriate for an archaeologist.
