My dad was a US Merchant Marine sailor in WW2. He told me stories of the dangers of doing bow watch duty. Big Waves and being frozen to the deck by freezing spray.
Very glad none of those people on deck is me.
It must be an optical illusion of some sort, but to me it looks as if the hatch immediately behind the gun turret is swiveling or floating.
It does to me, too…. but so does everything else on that foredeck.
The gun itself is undulating, as is the forward edge of that low white structure… it’s as though it’s all seen through an underwater camera, even though it’s NOT underwater.
In fact, that maybe a hatch, but due to the water flowing around it, and the apparent motion of everything out there, it looks more like a floating pallet of white bags.
I very much doubt that.
There is absolutely no indication of an aircraft taking a video shot anywhere.
A camera’s stabilization programming would not take out the movement of the aircraft nor would post editing (the image would be very jerky).
The image is static with respect to horizontal movement of anything; therefore I still say “well done animation.”
It appears to me to be video from a larger, more stable ship (Aircraft carrier?). There is no visible horizon with which to determine the camera platform’s stability. I can only see that the camera is more steady than the destroyer. If the destroyer is alongside taking provisions, the carrier wake would be part of the sea swells deluging the smaller ship.
Let’s see – hmmmm – she protects the house and all who dwell within with armament sufficient to equip a platoon. Except she can’t keep the EWC out of Claude’s chair. She provides endless entertainment value. She sits patiently every time as Claude pushes the DO NOT PUSH button. She makes puns almost as often as Claude. Almost as bad too. This is not to say that she is getting a raw deal in any way. Quite the contrary. But to get negotiations started, it’s good to agree on some fundamentals ahead of time.
But I’m sure that if Cleo ever truly got her “due”, she might not be able to sit down for a week.
…
She’s very lucky to have indulgent and forgiving human “parents”, who never punish her for her wanton violence or destruction of property…
not to mention her direct attacks on small creatures.
….
She’s been bought all manner of food, toys, and weaponry, waited on hand and paw, and allowed to get away with literal murder, if you count cats and squirrels.
True, she earns large bags of kibble for her film roles…
but I doubt that can touch what she spends on ammo…. or what the Cliffords have to cover in damages from her actions.
You get two versions today.
The instructions are in the spoiler box because one set is very long and chatty.

1 veal knuckle
2 small onions

4 potatoes
1 bunch pot herbs (no, not that kind)

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 red pepper
1/2 pound beef suet

3 eggs
Flour to make soft paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
PEPPERPOTS’ INSTRUCTIONS
PHILADELPHIA PEPPERPOT
Wash tripe 3 times in ice water. Cover and boil slowly for a long time. The old
recipes said 6-8 hours, but about 4 will do. Cool, remove from water, and cut into
small pieces. Wash the veal, put in kettle, and cover with water, simmer slowly for
3 hours, skimming frequently. Remove from water, cut veal away from the bones
and into small pieces. Set aside. Strain the broth and return to the kettle. Add
chopped onion and bay leaf, simmer for another hour. Add the diced potatoes. Use
whatever pot herbs you prefer or, if you use dried herbs, tie them in a bag and
remove later. Add veal, tripe, and seasoning. Make dumplings by blending suet
(or same amount of butter) with the flour and adding a little salt. Add just enough
ice water to make a paste that can be rolled with floured fingers into balls the
size of walnuts. Handle the dumplings lightly, sprinkle with a little flour, and
drop into the bubbling soup. Simmer for 5 minutes, the kettle covered. Don’t peek.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve. Serves 6. (This was my grandmother’s recipe.)
Notes from me:
I have no idea what happened to the red pepper. I’d dice it and add it with the diced potatoes.
The soup was obviously brought back to a boil too. Boil or simmer until the potatoes are done, then do the dumplings.
DUTCH PEPPERPOT
Cube the beef and cook in water until nearly tender. Add chopped pepper, diced
onion, and diced raw potatoes. Season. Mix paste for noodles: (see ingredients list)
Beat the eggs, mx with the sifted flour and salt, blend together. Roll out lightly
on a floured board, until very thin. Cut in squares and let dry on a cloth for about
an hour.
Add noodles to the soup. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until noodles are thoroughly
cooked. Serves 4.
The first one looks like Swabian “Kutteln”.
Tried them; don’t like them.
Oh – and it’s no problem nowadays to get them fresh and precooked (in lieu to dog-food).
That reminds me: It’s been a while since I had “Saures LΓΌngerl” – soured calf’s lung.
I haven’t got that one. It just totally logs me out and I am a square, purple face. When I log back on, my password is fine.

I will join Cleo in that breakfast. I would prefer eggs over medium and raspberry jam on the toast, though. I’m sure I do more than Cleo.
We need to see tomorrow’s comic to see how that goes.
yes, that’s what I was going to say— the chances of C&C realizing Cleo’s been too spoiled are the same chances that that proverbial snowball lasting more than a second or two in the bowels of Hades
.
My dad was a US Merchant Marine sailor in WW2. He told me stories of the dangers of doing bow watch duty. Big Waves and being frozen to the deck by freezing spray.
What the hell are they doing out there? Swabbing the deck?
I very much hope that folks on that duty get wet weather gear & life jackets.
Good to see you, Vet.
Many thanks to your dad. The merchant marine sailors were incredible during the war.
Very glad none of those people on deck is me.

I believe that the turret has a cover over it, that is the part you see
βwaving (LOL) in the breezeβ…
A well done animation, but still an animation.
…from real-life footage.
I very much doubt that.
There is absolutely no indication of an aircraft taking a video shot anywhere.
A camera’s stabilization programming would not take out the movement of the aircraft nor would post editing (the image would be very jerky).
The image is static with respect to horizontal movement of anything; therefore I still say “well done animation.”
It is just possible (but I doubt it) the repeated shot where the camera gets splashed is real; otherwise, animation. Same reasons as previously given.
Now these, are real: LINK
(sigh) I assume you will doubt the moon-landing, too.
It appears to me to be video from a larger, more stable ship (Aircraft carrier?). There is no visible horizon with which to determine the camera platform’s stability. I can only see that the camera is more steady than the destroyer. If the destroyer is alongside taking provisions, the carrier wake would be part of the sea swells deluging the smaller ship.
Shouldn’t the gun be pointed the other way to avoid getting filled with water?
As though to fire at the crew??
..
Can you find the kitty?
There’s a kitty???
The question in my mind is “Can’t the ducklings find the kitty? Do they think she’s a huge mama duck?”
Must be one sweet-natured kittycat.
Nope, just full π
XD
“…one of these things is not like the others…”
~ B. Bird
“Can I count my chickens now?”
Yeah, I think they are all hatched.
Not until the cat is gone.
A new game.
“Duckling, Duckling, Duckling, Duckling, Ducklingβ¦ Cat !”
,
Not quite four feet tall (the “India Today” logo is a link) .
That’s the temple site with a huge statue – this is the statue you’re talking about:
On this one, I stand (even though I’m sitting down) corrected. π
Meanwhile, there are people walking on the pathway in front, no taller than one of Lord Shiva’s fingers.
I marked a few, but not all.
The statue itself looks to be give-or-take 100 feet tall.
A hard thing to steal, or hide.
(As ever, click to see it larger… if it’s on the post-image site, click again. It works differently for everybody.)
Haaa!!
Welcome, Vet!
How about a bowl of kibble and a couple of Milk-bones?
Come on June of 2022! ! !
That menu sounds good to Claude. If, in his dreams, Clara would fix it for him, he might toss a slice of bacon to Cleo.
Sam Cooke sends me, as always.
Lou Reed shows what can be accomplished with very few notes played.
And “Let’s Dance” is just a fun lineup of kids doing their moves!
Store brand dog food it is – just tell Cleo it’s her order, all mixed together.
Some breakfast songs; from cheerful to Tom Waits.
Loved Roy Rogers’ breakfast song!
Let’s see – hmmmm – she protects the house and all who dwell within with armament sufficient to equip a platoon. Except she can’t keep the EWC out of Claude’s chair. She provides endless entertainment value. She sits patiently every time as Claude pushes the DO NOT PUSH button. She makes puns almost as often as Claude. Almost as bad too. This is not to say that she is getting a raw deal in any way. Quite the contrary. But to get negotiations started, it’s good to agree on some fundamentals ahead of time.
you’ve been paying attention
I was going to say that I’d like to see a list of all the things she does. Thanks!
I’m no advocate of corporal punishment….
But I’m sure that if Cleo ever truly got her “due”, she might not be able to sit down for a week.
…
She’s very lucky to have indulgent and forgiving human “parents”, who never punish her for her wanton violence or destruction of property…
not to mention her direct attacks on small creatures.
….
She’s been bought all manner of food, toys, and weaponry, waited on hand and paw, and allowed to get away with literal murder, if you count cats and squirrels.
True, she earns large bags of kibble for her film roles…
but I doubt that can touch what she spends on ammo…. or what the Cliffords have to cover in damages from her actions.
…
If I were you, Cleo, I’d let it go.
Then again… I’m not, and you probably won’t.
no cats or squirrels were harmed in the making of this cartoon!

Would you like the freshly squeezed maple syrup or will bottled do?
Good morning Cleo phanatics!

It’s tick tock day…. no … not that one. This one
National Pepper Pot Day
Y’all check the time for soup. (((((HuGz)))))
I had to login again! I always check the remember me box, but it doesn’t. I need a simpler password that I don’t have to look up each time!!
Are you getting the notice I put in the attachment?
If someone knows how to fix it please tell me. Neither Google, or Microsoft are any help.
Suggestion for password:
Use someone’s middle name who is close to you. Not good enough for financial type accounts, but this is a comic site.

Do you think that Claude and Clara will finally realize that Cleo is a bit too spoiled?
Nope; not a chance.

That sounds like a breakfast fit for the VANQUISHER OF THE NEXT-DOOR CAT!
Cleo, you get the cat out of Claud’s chair, then talk food orders.
Cleo must be thrilled that you are not her negotiator
More than trilogy.
π Whoever put those together has/have one really great sense of humour. π
Laughed out loud at the monkey handing the officer a doughnut.
Very, very funny.π
