If you are a Godzilla fan or King Kong fan, do not, do not, do not, waste a single quatloo on 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong” (I found it online for free and in an attempt to salvage some value of the time I spent with it I’m writing this warning).
It is even worse than the 1998 abomination.
I watched the opening 5 minutes (where Kong was basically characterized as a human with human movement and expression; badly), got disgusted, and started moving ahead more or less randomly.
It never got any better, and the and the actors whose characters the audience is supposed to sympathise with act so badly you just don’t care what happens to them. The CGI is terrible, and while they were pretty much forced to make Godzilla Godzilla, the side monsters look like someone added wings and a head to an Indiana Jones whip.
Basset Bros. would set the EWC on any “producer” that dared present such a piece of garbage to them (and they’d probably sue for misuse of Indiana Bones’ whip.)
Yeah, I worked it out after I read further, but I couldn’t resist the Terry Pratchett reference!

Frankly, I’m amazed that Cleo ever thought that ruse would work on the EWC.

That’s what Cleo gets for teasing the evil cat next door. I wonder if the evil cat got video and is going to show around the neighborhood? Cleo won’t be able to outside at all.
A sentiment the world could make good use of today; in all places.

“The Ballad of East and West” By, Rudyard Kipling
“Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face though they come from the ends of the earth!”
A farmer was having trouble with one of his horses. This horse had a very long mane and birds would build nests in it then lay eggs and hatch baby birds. The farmer called the vet and asked what he should do.
The vet recommended that the farmer put yeast in the horse’s mane to keep the birds out. The farmer was skeptical, but thought it was worth a try. Lo and behold it worked! The farmer called the vet back and asked how that could possibly work.
The vet answered. “Yeast is yeast and nest is nest and never the mane shall tweet.”
My log in is still a bit wonky as well.
It may be a carryover from the trouble on Friday, where the whole site was down for some hours.
Susan’s explanation about the crash is at this…
There may be some pictures where it causes direct posting problems, but this is 1,001 x 1,001 at its original site.
Playing around with it on this site by (moving the margins) WordPress programming changes its size in proportionately. So I’m guessing it will do the same with others as well.
Incidentally, I’ve just discovered that the size of this image here as posted is 608 x 608 as a maximum size, not 500 x 500, so there’s a higher priority programming statement somewhere up above nighthawks’.
That bad old puddy tat proves her point.
Every one needs somebody to love…You…me..them…Everybody! Everybody!
You guy sure drank a lot of beer.
Someone else has trouble with bad ol’ puddy tats too.
I am probably one of the few who remember that song….
Nope! I remember it clear as day! LOL
Welcome to the site
Thank you! Love the cartoons!
indeed, welcome welcome WELcome!
Thank you! Love your work!
OMG! Cleo has been disarmed!
I am waiting to hear from Katina on this one.
Maybe Perro could handle that cat!

or was it Indiana Bones?

The EWC? Is that like an Ook?
Evil White Cat.
Somehow that became a thing.

A picture of a spider.
Bah hahahaha!
Oh… So it had to do with the needle going to the center…
I’ve never heard of one of those being called a “spider” … Maybe it’s a Canadianism… or just regional.
It should have a nickname, cos I never know what to call them…. just “those plastic center thingies for playing 45’s”.
…
In some parts of the US there are two other things called “spiders”, both cast iron.
I think both usages might be outdated though.
One is a big cast iron frying pan… no idea why.
I had an old cookbook with recipes for “spider cornbread” and “spider pineapple upside down cake.
Didn’t like the way that sounded!
…
And some people say “spider” for the cast iron thingy on a gas stove, that sits over the burner to hold the pan.
At least that’s more understandable, cos it has legs.
Spiders are also Chinese utensils – they look like a web and are used for straining foods out of liquids or oil.
Good morning, Cleophanatics!
When will she ever learn? When will she eevver, learn?
EC takes another one…
Y’all hug your pets. (((((HUGz)))))
My late wife’s parents had one of those and it worked too!

the real reason the twain shall never meet is because they’re on different twacks
No mattew how hawd they twy.

National Pet Parents Day –
Sorry about the fuzz. I suck at taking pictures.
My first thought on reading your line about “the fuzz”…
You’re so bad at taking pictures the police are coming??!
Old slang dies hard.
….sigh….
..
BAH HAHAHAhahahahahah
Did something happen to the site overnight? I had to re log in and I am not getting notified from the ones I follow and had to refollow them?
My log in is still a bit wonky as well.
It may be a carryover from the trouble on Friday, where the whole site was down for some hours.
Susan’s explanation about the crash is at this…
…LINK
As always, right click and open in a new window so you don’t lose this page.
Thanks but there’s no reason those things should be related…
Web pointers pointing in the wrong direction have been fixed, if you can get here, and are not part of site performance.
I’ve been having to log in almost every time I get here.
And I got notified yesterday of posts from someone I don’t follow…
I think it’s pretty easy to “bump” that button, and start or stop following someone accidentally…. so I thought maybe I did.
But probably not if it happened to you with multiple people.
…
Hiding behind the door! Or am I going to need MontanaLady for help!
how about a spoiler alert link to the solution!!
Yeah. That’s it. She just shooed him away with her broom!
Apologies, I didn’t think I was giving it away; but obviously I did.
I’ve deleted that comment.
well I don’t see it!
Neither do I! Harrumph!
Impossible, there is no way I see it and you don’t, did you see knighthawks spoiler alert, LOL
….
I don’t see it. I think Cleo finally got it to leave.
She probably sat on him and he’s stuck in her butt cheeks.
o, ya, thanks
What a help, NH!!! Now it’s easy to see it! Thanks.
Oh shoot!
I didn’t know you had posted that already.
I guess it doesn’t matter, cos I didn’t peek…
But now that I looked…
What’s with those weird legs
Oh yeah! I see it now. Well hidden. Thanks nighthawks!
I’m pretty sure I see it but its body is weird.
No I can’t. (That was an easy one!)
I reduced the maximum size of images posted in the comments to 500px wide.
Hope that doesn’t cause any problems

Why is everybody picking on that poor ole neighbor’s white cat?
Here he is, just resting his weary bones in a comfortable chair, and he gets attacked by sock puppets! At least Cleo could use one of her bazookas.
That’s what I was thinking. Puppets on that cat ~ I don’t think so! She needs more sophisticated weaponry.
BTW, these are our front yard tulips. If it ever stops snowing…….
This is that big snow storm from Dennis’ back yard that hit us the other day.
still looking for those front yard tulips
You think that white stuff is in the way?
WE’VE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THE SITE WILL BE DOWN FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR TONIGHT (FROM 11:30 PM TO 12 AM EASTERN TIME) FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.
I will be dreaming sweet dreams at that time……I hope.
And I’m hardly ever here yet….
…
…
I always love a cheesy pun….
This poster milks ’em.
Very gouda!
But if Annie Lennox sees it… I hope it doesn’t make her bleu…
Or drive her crackers.
As long as it’s not a Welsh rarebit…
That’s a really old style comic. Do you know when it was first published?
If you like the old comics, you should check out “Origins of the Sunday Comics” on GoComics.
https://www.gocomics.com/origins-of-the-sunday-comics/2021/04/25
Curated by Peter Maresca, and runs almost every day.
GoComics also runs a few old strips separately, of varying vintages, including “Skippy” and “Little Nemo”.
I didn’t Google it just now, but I’m guessing this particular strip is contemporaneous with the latter…
maybe 1905-10 or so.
“Silas” is a pseudonym of Winsor McCay…
No wonder it looks like Little Nemo.
Excellent!
