Sorry, not sure what you mean… but if you’re questioning its placement while in front of an audience, nothing suggests to me that this photo was taken during a live performance.
I just took it for a carefully posed photograph, meant to arouse wonder.
If you’re right, or if I’m taking your question correctly, and there were people watching, an accomplice could have pushed out a small (but sufficient) clear shelf through a slot, from behind the wall, while she danced or twirled, or otherwise distracted them.
Hmmm, spurious tracks on the platforms, the loco looks to have some dubious features, and is missing the tender, and that thing on the right mentioned by JP Steve.
I’m going to say AI, but it does have a definite Steampunk feel to the image.
I have no doubt about this one. Even for fantasy, the clock markings are odd, and the two clocks aren’t marked the same. The tracks in the distance do some strange things too. I can’t imagine anyone deliberately portraying the tracks like that.
I confess I know very few of those names, and I have no idea what the rest did in science other than assuming the graphic over their surname is related to it.
The dates aren’t (necessarily) Nobel prizes. I know Curie received more than one and Hopper received none. In Hoppers case, it was a one time thing (moth inside the computer in 1952). Most of the others I don’t know.
I’m pretty sure I found it… And pretty sure it’s ridiculous.
The only glove I could find…
Look at the copyright notice in the bottom left corner….. Just to the right of it is a tiny chicken just the tail and then the head, mostly hidden, with what must be a small red rubber glove instead of a comb.
It’s never too late (that’s what you told me when I joined parties after they’d already filled a page and were on page 2). I usually start my C&C on the previous day’s, so I saw your comments. I particularly like your take on the ship (that it’s sinking).
The only reason I say too late is that by early to mid-afternoon West Coast time, quite a few people don’t go back, especially easterners like Nighthawks, who misses some of my strip comments if they’re after East Coast dinnertime, even though it’s clearly still strip day to me.
I really appreciate those of you who do go back and check, often even after the next strip is posted!
I do that too, in fact I tend to check the last few days.
Doesn’t take long, and you can find interesting things!

Birthday parties are different, because while you can call a strip, say, the Wednesday one at 6pm Tuesday (which is when the new Cleo comes out for me), you can’t tell people when their birthdays are.
We celebrated them starting about 6pm the night before, at the start of the strip for the correct date.
But the honoree, for example, on a Wednesday birthday might well be just starting to celebrate at a party or late dinner when the Thursday strip comes out…
And if we ever do them again, should gladly look back and accept congratulations long after the flurry on Tuesday night!
I enjoy all the conversations here… I think Cleo and Company has a remarkable following!
Handsome boy.
Dam fine eyesight!
Tickle it with your finger. If it bites you it’s an Asian…
Don’t some carry TB? Or am i thinking of the wrong beetle.
Dunno. I didn’t think TB was vector-borne
It is entirely possible that i’m miss remembering something here.
I might even research that.
I checked with Wiki. It’s got nothing on it. I must be wrong.
That’s definitely not an Asian ladybug.
what if it gets affectionate with you?
Then you know it’s a love bug and not a lady bug…
Go ask Alice…
..and if you go chasing rabbits…
Ladybugs, love bugs, Now we’re into caterpillars?
I’m thinking maybe a shelf attached to the wall?
Extended shelf, live?

It was supposed to be a play on words…
Extended shelf-life vs. an extended shelf in a “live” situation.
I think I found that on a site that was showing some artfully photoshopped (to use an old expression) images
Aha… So nothing physical at all holds her up….
Only Art 😁
What’s the big brass thing on the right? Not another AI I hope…
Sorry. Pretty cool picture though.
Hmmm, spurious tracks on the platforms, the loco looks to have some dubious features, and is missing the tender, and that thing on the right mentioned by JP Steve.
I’m going to say AI, but it does have a definite Steampunk feel to the image.
I can’t seem to get a “like” to register. So here it is
well, it’s a painting using a computer program ,instead using brushes and painting it, but that doesn’t mean it was done by a robot
The duplicate giant clocks and fancy overhead arches with glassed in, lighted rooms on all levels look quite fake to me.
The problem is knowing whether a human artist painted the fantasy, or a computer program.
3 AI detectors say this is AI… 61%, 81% and 99%…
But if you read my post from yesterday you’ll know how much I trust AI detectors.
I have no doubt about this one. Even for fantasy, the clock markings are odd, and the two clocks aren’t marked the same. The tracks in the distance do some strange things too. I can’t imagine anyone deliberately portraying the tracks like that.

And many more then that where men took the credit. And the Nobel Prize.
Really glad to see Rosalind Franklin getting the recognition she deserves — Watson did a real hatchet job on her!
Anyone know who the entomologist(?) named Hopper was? (Google didn’t help…)
I found a programer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper
RIGHT! She found the “first computer bug…”
Great name for an entomologist.
This is what I found, it seems to fit (I see Tigressy also found a different article about the same woman) LINK TO ATLAS OBSCURA
I confess I know very few of those names, and I have no idea what the rest did in science other than assuming the graphic over their surname is related to it.
Same here
I wonder why most have a year mentioned, while two have a span.
Or did they win awards, Nobel prizes, etc, in those years, and those two won more than once?
I feel remiss in not recognizing more of the names… Then again, I couldn’t tell you the names of that many male scientists from those years either.
The dates aren’t (necessarily) Nobel prizes. I know Curie received more than one and Hopper received none. In Hoppers case, it was a one time thing (moth inside the computer in 1952). Most of the others I don’t know.
Got this for Payne and sunspots.

Valentina Tereshkova?
…duuude…
yep. this one’s for you, Hap
Uh oh. Looks like death by puppies. Resistance is futile.
At least 14.
Wow.
Could that be just one litter?
Nopenopenopenope…
That’s almost half a mile high…
Well not quite, but close enough for me.
find the rubber glove
I beg your pardon! What are you implying?
I’m pretty sure I found it… And pretty sure it’s ridiculous.
Booo.
I got that one too
With the rate my hair is going, I might try that soon. ☺
I had put that exact picture in my spoiler box cos I thought it was too big a clue…
Funny that we chose the same one!
What chicken…?
What? I like this chair. It’s usually warm and it smells a lot like me.
Well, i’m toast.
Good night people and pets.
Bonne nuit. 💆♀️😴
Yes please.
Oooh…. Ooooh…
We’re back on the Midnight Express…
Rejoining the mystery in progress!
Watching the greatest canine mind of sleuthery, gumshoe his way through an apparent murder… right here on the train!
I have to tell you, if you don’t already know… This story is set during Cleo and Company’s tenure on Comics Sherpa…
And it sounds as if SOMEBODY had plans to…. (gasp!)… e l I m i n a t e Sherpa!
Liquidate it!
It’s horrible, being turned into liquid!
What if WE were on board the train when it happened?
And what about all the toons?
Poor toons… they encounter such discrimination… Wantonly tossed aside whenever it suits SOME people.
Toon lives matter, too!
Think about our dear friends, the Cliffords, the ones with that sweet, adorable dog!
….
We didn’t want to see anything happen to Sherpaland!
But I digress…
Cos however evil this man seems to have been…
However many toon folk hated him….
Murder was and still is illegal!
….
Sam Basset…. super shamus… flatfoot extraordinaire…
MUST find the murderer…. so he (or she!) can be brought to cartoon justice!
And before she (or he!) can strike again… if that’s even part of his (or her) evil agenda.
I mean, maybe not… but you never know about evil agendas.
Agendii?
Agendices?
Ok…. I have just GOT to stop digressing….
And go to bed!
I posted Tuesday afternoon, on Tuesday’s strip, while it was still “today’s strip”…
Answeted a few people, commented on the strip, and did some AI checking.
I know it was probably too late, but best I could do.
It’s never too late (that’s what you told me when I joined parties after they’d already filled a page and were on page 2). I usually start my C&C on the previous day’s, so I saw your comments. I particularly like your take on the ship (that it’s sinking).
