Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 18, 2009

Every penny counts.

The portfolio is picking up.

Gotta love optimists!

Confound it!

Darn it X-Tech, I’m beginning to see these panels with the differences blinking in and out before I see your anigif’s! Well done. It’s a good thing you don’t ring a bell at the same time, or I’d be slobbering as badly as Cleo.

Calling all Cleo puzzlers….

whether you do ‘em every week or haven’t tried ’em yet.

Today’s the day!

The Saturday “Find the Differences” puzzle is in

the May 18th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

on Sherpa:

Or use my side by side version:

As ever, I recommend copying or downloading it and opening it in MS Paint or similar, and marking the differences as you go….

but if you prefer the mental challenge of keeping track …. solve it online.

As long as you come back here to discuss it with us.

 

I’ll reserve the Cleo Room for us at the Tiki…. or at least, I hope it’s back to the Cleo Room for now.

Last week it was the Hippo Room….and might still be.

I don’t think that’s a good name for a room in a restaurant, do you?

 

Oh… that reminds me….

Great to see you here, Monkey!

Welcome to Cleo & Company!

 

And of course, glad to see all of you coming back, including a few of you new regulars here….

Talkin’ to you, Dry, and Bri-No-Mite…

Time to try a Cleo puzzle….

Just a word, though, to all…

PLEASE … no hints or spoilers in your comments.

Save the discussion about what you found or missed until everybody has a chance to work on it.

 

x_Tech will no doubt post a link to his .gif of the solution, but you don’t have to look before you’re ready.

If you usually used Neil Wick’s “GC LINKS” to view all the images at once….

don’t click it till you’re finished solving!

 

I’m sure Wilbur is a respected businessman and all….

probably on his lunch break.

So why does he remind me of Mr. Micawber, as played by W.C. Fields?

I had eight when I fell asleep. I think I dreamed the ninth one. Anyway, bed calls.

Let’s see. Dennis is asleep, maybe Susan too, and Farside is probably resting his eyes, so I guess I can sneak in here and post the solution to today’s Cleo & Co. puzzle.

So when y’all wake up and get your eyes straight and have found all the differences feel free to click GC Links.

Somehow it doesn’t make up for all the stock market losses.

Think of it as a refreshment cart.

I can only find 8 of them. That last one is in there some place. Anything on if this strip is going to restart or should I just keep reading Ballard Street month to month on the archives?

In the top panel the mai-tai was made with Captain Morgan and in the bottom, Sailor Jerry.

OMG! I got all 9 right away! That will never happen again in a kazillion years! Hooray! WooHoo! (and a little ole tra-la-la)

Cleo’s outfit is so outlandish! Why do all the golfers wear such funny uniforms? You can certainly see her coming (and going).

This puzzle seems ear, nose and throatily familiar…

I found all nine right away, too. It’s going to be a good day. Love Cleo’s outfit!

“See a penny, pick it up. All the day you’ll have good luck”.

Happy Saturday Balladeers and Miss Susan!

I did that and threw my back out
