Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 21, 2011

The steaks are about to get high.

It looks like Smitty is making a meatza pizza.

At this market you can “beat” our prices,but…

you can’t “beat” our meat!…

Oh my, I think this was immediately prior to Smitty’s asking Mrs. Higglepooder if she wanted to see his “swinging steak.” Apparently he didn’t care what her answer was. He showed her anyway.

Puzzle night at Cleo’s.

I think I got em all but I want to see Susan’s side by side to check. There are two that could be just one.

Nine! There are only nine! If there were ten, I would have seen them!

Mrs. Higglepooder asked for that steak cut “just so”. There was nothing like that in the case, and Smitty had to butcher a whole side of beef to get “just that one” that she wanted. Then Mrs. Higglepooder started talking to Agnes and told Smitty, “Oh, never mind, I’ll just take something from the case.”

Here I am, Cleo pals!

Bringing the puzzle to the people…. as fast as I can!

From the Feb 20th, 2021 “Cleo and Company” …on Sherpa….

My side by side version is right here:

Dennis I don’t think I saw two that could be one… but everybody’s viewpoint is different.

And sorry, Charlie… I mean, Farside.

I name the files “Nine Differences” to keep them in order in my directory… I mean, folder…

But this one has ten, as the title states…. and my solution will show.

Smitty meats unemployment.

Of course, Claude loves his kibble.

What – no El Perro?

Gotcha!

I found all ten differences. The tenth one is obvious even though it isn’t in the two panels. People have already commented about it that the instructions say to find, well, I won’t say what that instruction is. Only 8 more days to go till Sherpa disappears. I wish I had downloaded all the gigabytes of comics to read later, but I got quite a few of the entire comic series downloaded. It’s such a waste to get rid of all those comics. It would be just as easy to transfer all of them to the “updated anytime” section on the main page.

Time for a late-night/early-morning snack….

a double serving of hearty kibble pizza.

And this time it’s solved.

No early peeking… but when you’re ready…

bring it right to your table, and check your results:

G’night for now… and good morning!

Saturday “T Minus 8 Days & Counting” Non Solution

   1.  Top panel: Cleo is using the “finger gun” to subtly express her disgust with left-wing woke snowflake culture that considers it a triggering gesture. Bottom Panel: Cleo is wishing she had a middle finger so she could tell GoComics how she really feels.

   2.  Top: Indotherms above pizza box show cartoonist is familiar with The Lexicon of Comicana. Bottom: Maybe those aren’t indotherms above pizza box but ancient hieroglyphic symbols drawn on the wall by previous owners to predict future doomsday event on March 1, 2021.

   3.  Top: Claude is drinking a decaf skinny Starbucks latte. Bottom: Hahaha – penny pinching C&C producers would never spring for Starbucks.

   4.  Top: Evergreen tree in background was not painted by Edward Hopper. Bottom: Evergreen tree put in cartoon so Ted Cruz could have something to hide behind

   5.  Top: Claude’s eyewear courtesy of My Funny Glasses in Noblesville, Indiana (BOGO!). Bottom: Cheapskate cartoonist grows tired of searching junk yards every week – he permanently welds rearview mirror stolen last week from ’57 Studebaker to Claude’s face.

   6-9.   This week the infamous 6-9 section is dedicated to the memory of Spicy. R.I.P. Spicy

Number 10: BoJo has lost his mojo a loooooooooong time ago.

Good morning, Ballardeers! Q Date: 344.98738.92 National Cherry Pie, Love Your Pet, Muffin, and Comfy Day.

Smitty goes for it, and it was worth it.

Kibble pizza. Must be an off menu item.

Y’all get comfy on the couch with your cherry pie muffin and cuddle with your pet.

Breaking News!! I got all ten! I almost gave up on the tenth one, but then it jumped out at me…….that was scary!

I just had a chance to do the puzzle. I got them all very easily. Then stopped, checked the solution and found I was wrong (again). I counted something, and didn’t even see the – - – - – – that was real easy, too! Harrumph!

I got nine. Now you want me to find another one? Not fair, not fair!!

Ask a Cat is now being deleted on Monday. What’s next, we pay to read the comics?

Nine! I won!

Hey, I’d be happy to see the running of the bassets. Sounds like a good time could be had by all.

Get ’im, Cleo! Cover ’im in slobber!

Just running scared.

Run like the wind!

Cleo would love to go to Spain for this event. Of course she covers more miles in her dreams than she could on the ground. She’s no spring chicken, you know?

Maybe this time she won’t come in last like she did the last time. Only 6 days to go till you get to have your own site.

I am amazed at how that Z stood still while the rest of Cleo’s body was moving.

(I am so amazed that in fact it was my Favorite Part™).

Good morning, Ballardeers and JP! Q Date: 345.98741.88 National Grain Free, Sticky Bun Day!

That dream would be a nightmare for me. All those flappin lips and ears chasing me? yeow

Y’all keep your buns sticky. (((((Hugs)))))

Every time I see this, I’m reminded of the Northern Exposure episode of the Running of the Bulls. The guys look just like these guys, except these guys are wearing clothes!

Oh… * … << pop! >>* … um…. yawn …

Are we there yet?
