A segment on Anderson Cooper tonight, with James Taylor, reflecting on David Crosby, was very good. I don’t know if any of you clever people know how to find it.
I’m leaving this “raw” because it will be easier to copy for future things people may be interested in.
It’s the audio portion of Anderson Cooper.
Click on the start arrow, then find the 30 minute 50 second mark (that’s the start of the interview).
Yeah, and without cigarettes, maybe they’d have been Emperors of sports… or whatever beats kings.
Maybe Bobby Riggs would have been able to defeat Billie Jean King (though I doubt it), and Stan Musial and Ted Williams would have been able to… um… do whatever they couldn’t do, if there was anything…
I don’t know what it would be, cos we have just bumped against the edge of my sports knowledge.
I won’t say the end, cos I have heard of a few other athletes, who aren’t on this poster… but pretty close.
I really liked the strip, but it moved to WordPress a while before Cleo did.
…
Not long before Sherpa (coincidentally) ended, though Wrong Hands was syndicated, and appeared on GoComics, John Atkinson posted that he’d been told his contract with Andrews McMeel would be up soon, and wouldn’t be renewed.
He created a WordPress blog and forum, directed everyone there, and settled in with his fans.
I was one of them, while we were still commenting for Cleo on Ballard Street, but soon we were on WordPress too, and I was posting too much here to keep up.
…
Meanwhile, though he wasn’t submitting new work, his GoComics page mysteriously remained.
Eventually he just started turning in new strips… and it came back to life.
By now he may have more information, but back then, he didn’t know why he’d been told it would end, or why it didn’t.
…
One day it disappeared from my GoComics page, so I thought the warnings had finally come true….
But seeing it here tonight led me to look, and it’s still on GoComics, so I just put it back.
I just saw it in Pinterest and thought it would be a good posting.
I had completely forgotten about the gocomics/syndication thing.
I sure wish Cleo could still be added to your gocomics lineup, but
……we’re just not good enough, apparently
I don’t know how you get on Gocomics. Have you tried asking? Do you need write in votes?? Wish you could get there, too. Hard to get people to come here. Cleo is definitely better than a lot of them there!
This is the first I have ever heard of John Atkinson’s Wrong Hands. I liked the one posted by Nighthawks. So I looked at it on the GC website. Looked at about 4-5 randoms, and none were bad, so I’ve added it to my lineup.
Thus you and NH have not posted in vain. Mr. Atkinson owes you at least one new subscriber. Gracias.
I’m up to my normal seven.
I’m going back to work in the morning on light duty. Woo Hoo! 🙂
Being without stuff to do and sitting/lying around all day is boring. Totally.
Good night people and pets. 🙂
Now I believe there are ten differences again. I will try to explain the tenth without displaying it, so …
Tenth Difference?
Just above and to the left of the “T” in “The”, there is a blue patch on the left hand image. It is absent on the right. I thought it was a very sneaky difference.
Liverlips, Tigressy, and anybody else asking about the “tenth difference.”
OK, I see what you’re seeing… Good eyes. I didn’t notice it when I was solving.
Further…
It’s not just that little bluish patch… if you look even closer, that patch seems to be dragged up from the tree branch below, leaving a lighter space there.
Obviously, to me, an accidental swipe from some sort of tool in the drawing program.
However, yes, it does make that spot different in the two panels.
Whether that’s an official “difference” is, not to be punny, a different matter.
To my mind, no, it isn’t, or it would say “Find the ten differences.”
I’d call it an error.
In any case, I am not able to give a definitive answer, since I don’t create the puzzles.
I can only give an opinion, which I did in the spoiler box.
….
You’re right… no words or excuses can make that spot not be different.
I’d say this, but , again, it’s only my opinion:
Thank you for finding the error and bringing it to our attention. We do appreciate the help in correcting it, especially if it’s going to be run again some day.
Good for you if you see it… Sure, I believe you can call it a tenth difference if you like.
But I wouldn’t say anybody failed to solve it correctly if they didn’t see it.
I don’t know what to say about anybody who found that one plus eight others and stopped.
StelBel can decide those things, or not, as she sees fit… but to me, she clearly signaled her intention when she titled the puzzle “Find the nine differences.”
…
But does it matter? There’s no prize.
I was getting dragged into these discussions when it’s not my call, and the answer has no meaning because nobody keeps score, nor a list of “Winners.”
So you won’t get a trophy, but we do appreciate the correction.
…
Stel this week, Nighthawks in other weeks, give us their time and effort, in making the puzzles.
I do a little work, too…. admittedly not much… to solve them, then save, upload and post the solutions.
We do it only for your enjoyment, and our own. I know I like doing it.
No fame, no fortune. Maybe a “like” or two as a reward, should you be so inclined.
I agree. It’s an error. I have artweaver free on my computer and I can understand how those can happens. I rarely use it so make constant mistakes myself.
Thanks to Susan (as always, of course), Liverlips and Tigressy for pointing out an accidental tenth difference this morning! Originally, I had tried to make a change in that tree branch, but it wasn’t working out to my satisfaction, so I clicked on “UNDO” to get rid of it all……except I didn’t click that one last time to clear every single change.
I know I’ve included some differences that were very subtle in past puzzles, but I would NEVER use one that was THAT subtle!!! Still, you all were right to question it. I’ve corrected it on the master copy, so that will not appear again should we decide to repost this puzzle at some point in the future.
The EAGLE EYE AWARD goes out to Liverlips today!!! Yayyyy!!!
From yesterday. Are you really thinking somebody here wants to order a five foot tall print of this cover?
No, but CONDÉ NAST( LINK TO THE MAGAZINES THIS PUBLISHING HOUSE PUBLISHES ) must think there is a market somewhere, or they wouldn’t have posted the advertisement (for the record, as a general rule I wouldn’t buy a magazine cover as art because they’re not a branch of that discipline that appeals to me).
While Condé Nast founded his eponymous publishing company, “The New Yorker” was founded by Harold Ross and his wife Jane Grant and first published in 1925.
I know they think there’s a market. There’s a market for just about everything.
But thankfully, you don’t run ads for televisions or air fryers in your comments.
It’s just that we usually post things here that we think the others would like to know, or enjoy seeing.
This is not the first time I’ve wondered why you posted an image …in this case a huge one… of the prices and/or ordering information for something, if you didn’t think anybody here would be the least bit interested in using it.
Maybe I’m missing something, like maybe some people find it fascinating to see how much a 5ft tall poster of it would cost.
If so, I apologize…but to me it’s just excess.
Of course, you can post anything you like, within reason.
I started the Peter, Paul, & Mary video with the puzzle and it’s been running while I read Cleo, and several other sites. It’s a lovely morning sound track.
It is New England Clam Chowder day today.
I quote Herman Melville through his character, Ishmael.
“ However, a warm savoury steam from the kitchen served to belie the apparently cheerless prospect before us. But when that smoking chowder came in, the mystery was delight- fully explained. Oh, sweet friends ! hearken to me. It was made of small juicy clams, scarcely bigger than hazel nuts, mixed with pounded ship biscuit, and salted pork cut up into little flakes; the whole enriched with butter, and plentifully seasoned with pepper and salt. Our appetites being sharpened by the frosty voyage, and in particular, Queegueg seeing his favourite fishy food before him, and the chowder being surpassingly excellent, we despatched it with great expedition:….”

Thanks
And dreams of roast chicken danced in his head.
For a strange moment when I first saw it, I thought the drumsticks were the pup’s hind legs… a tiny fat dog with a big head, like a cartoon dog.
…
But no… he’s sleeping with his own whole chicken, one that’s seemingly stuffed with polyester instead of bread.
As if locker rooms did not smell bad already.
Yeah, and without cigarettes, maybe they’d have been Emperors of sports… or whatever beats kings.
Maybe Bobby Riggs would have been able to defeat Billie Jean King (though I doubt it), and Stan Musial and Ted Williams would have been able to… um… do whatever they couldn’t do, if there was anything…

THE FULL 52 PAGES
On a quick scan, the cover is the comic book equivalent of click-bait.
.
Wrong Hands has been a mystery.
I really liked the strip, but it moved to WordPress a while before Cleo did.
…
Not long before Sherpa (coincidentally) ended, though Wrong Hands was syndicated, and appeared on GoComics, John Atkinson posted that he’d been told his contract with Andrews McMeel would be up soon, and wouldn’t be renewed.
He created a WordPress blog and forum, directed everyone there, and settled in with his fans.
I was one of them, while we were still commenting for Cleo on Ballard Street, but soon we were on WordPress too, and I was posting too much here to keep up.

Meanwhile, though he wasn’t submitting new work, his GoComics page mysteriously remained.
Eventually he just started turning in new strips… and it came back to life.
By now he may have more information, but back then, he didn’t know why he’d been told it would end, or why it didn’t.
…
One day it disappeared from my GoComics page, so I thought the warnings had finally come true….
But seeing it here tonight led me to look, and it’s still on GoComics, so I just put it back.
Thanks, I’m a fan of Wrong Hands and have been getting it in my e-mail. I’d rather have it with the rest of my comics, so I’ll go add it back on GC.
There’s a lag, this one’s from November.
I just saw it in Pinterest and thought it would be a good posting.
I had completely forgotten about the gocomics/syndication thing.
I sure wish Cleo could still be added to your gocomics lineup, but
……we’re just not good enough, apparently
I don’t know how you get on Gocomics. Have you tried asking? Do you need write in votes?? Wish you could get there, too. Hard to get people to come here. Cleo is definitely better than a lot of them there!
You have to submit your comic to Andrews McMeel, the publishers, for syndication, which I think Nighthawks has done.
It’s like submission to any media… a book, a movie script, etc.
The editors may take it or reject it, or give suggestions for changes.
…
It used to be that acceptance meant they then marketed your strip to newspapers, and your payment was a percentage of those sales.
It probably still works that way, but they do also have some web only strips.
I’m not sure how those creators get paid, if they do.
…
I know the creator of “Jane’s World” publishes Jane books elsewhere.
She has said she gets nothing for her GoComics strip, but it helps her sell books.
Thanks for the info. I wish we could help.
I always kept Wrong Hands. His comic is there sporadically. I always enjoy his humor. Hard to understand Gocomics.
I always kept it too… But one day it just disappeared.
That has happened to other strips… Usually it’s a weird glitch, and I just go put them back on my page.
Some stay there always, but Ballard street evaporates maybe once a year, and I rescue it.
For some reason, I thought they had actually acted on the threat to end the contract with John, and didn’t check.
This is the first I have ever heard of John Atkinson’s Wrong Hands. I liked the one posted by Nighthawks. So I looked at it on the GC website. Looked at about 4-5 randoms, and none were bad, so I’ve added it to my lineup.
Thus you and NH have not posted in vain. Mr. Atkinson owes you at least one new subscriber. Gracias.
Glad you liked it!

Not fair!
I’ve tried and tried to turn the pages but they all seem to be stuck together.
I need to get to page 23!
that’s 150 in 1960’s money—considerably more per week now
1956 $ actually, $1,636.75 by the site at the $ link.
I tried all my usual tricks, but I couldn’t find the advertisement.
I’m up to my normal seven.
I’m going back to work in the morning on light duty. Woo Hoo! 🙂
Being without stuff to do and sitting/lying around all day is boring. Totally.
Good night people and pets. 🙂
Good to hear it, Happy!
congrats!! and an extra WOO HOO!!
I’ve got seven, and I’m happy with that until tomorrow.
This Peter Paul and Mary video is an hour long. Not tonight!
OK; got nine.
I got all nine.
Oops. One of my nine was the tenth one mentioned by Liverlips. I guess I only got eight.
Another Saturday, another puzzle…. Yay!
This time it’s another dog-centric New Yorker cover, once again puzzified (?)… er… puzzle-ized(?) by StelBel.
A winter day in a New York City park, of course means dogs in puffy coats … or at least it does in the fantasy world of New Yorker cover art.
Do your doggone best to discover the differences between the two views of the doggies and their doings.
I know you will, because you don’t want Cleo on your tail.
I know she’s not in New York, and she doesn’t have a down jacket, nor appear in this puzzle…. but you can bet she has her eye on you.
..
When you’re finished, come back and
Now I believe there are ten differences again. I will try to explain the tenth without displaying it, so …
I agree.
Those are the ones I’ve found, too.
Picked up all nine.
I missed the now official glitch (see StelBel below).
I got 9 of 10.
or 9 of 11
Definitely NOT a difference! For future reference, I would never use anything that subtle and tiny. C’mon P51…….I’m not that mean!!!
That was accidental….. stemming from when I was working on getting rid of the leash.
i got all 9! i got all 9! woohoo!!!
I got 8 last night and found the 9th this morning ~~~ Susan’s nine.
found nine, but not the right nine, saw the one everyone is talking about and counted it and missed one I should not have, GRR!
I like what appears to be a down parka on the chihuahua. That ought to keep him warm.
I think I’ve got nine, but I’ll need to hold out for confirmation from the resident pundit.
See above reply to Susan’s solution.

wait a sec. who WOULDN’t want this hanging on their wall?
I did say…
“ as a general rule I wouldn’t buy a magazine cover as art”
…and that cover isn’t “general”. 🙂
I want the mugs!
How about the t-shirt?
I know they think there’s a market. There’s a market for just about everything.
But thankfully, you don’t run ads for televisions or air fryers in your comments.
It’s just that we usually post things here that we think the others would like to know, or enjoy seeing.

If so, I apologize…but to me it’s just excess.
Of course, you can post anything you like, within reason.
Forgot to say… If you post something like that on GoComics, with prices and an off-site link…
even though you have nothing to do with the site, the sales, or the profits, you get banned for spamming.
It actually happened to people i know…
….
One got banned for a link to a record store, not so anybody could order, but just to show it existed.
The silliest case was x_Tech, who posted a fake ad that he wrote for a silly product he made up.
The link was fake too…
At that time we could use colored text, so he made a fake URL in blue, and underlined it.
Nothing happened if you tried to click it, so I can’t imagine that the mods even tried.
But he was banned for two weeks, and I wrote to GoComics to help get him released.
They let him back with am emailed warning that he’d better not post spam again.
I started the Peter, Paul, & Mary video with the puzzle and it’s been running while I read Cleo, and several other sites. It’s a lovely morning sound track.
i haven’t heard them in soooooo long. great pick in music!
