I can’t find an identity for this character.
My first thought was he was a “Top Cat” character, but all searches say he’s from “Heathcliff”; but I can’t find him in any list of “Heathcliff” characters.
Maybe he’s not in that list of “Heathcliff characters” because he’s the main character, and not part of the supporting cast?
Also, this is cartoon Heathcliff, whose appearance has always seemed a little pudgier and tamer….more child-friendly, I guess…. than newspaper-comic Heathcliff.
I’ve always considered him in general a watered-down Garfield.
Nuts! I’m not going to see anything tonight. I’ll give it a shot tomorrow.
Is the output directed over the fence? Because i wouldn’t want the result of that in my back yard. Yuck! 😀

Having been MIA for a couple of weeks, it figures I would miss a birthday. So first things first: Happy Belated Feliz Navidad to Montana Lady.
Also, I think I have found all nine, but will hold off on celebrating until Susan Sunshine posts the solution.
I think I got all nine. I will be gone most of the day tomorrow, so will have to check when I get home.
So glad Cleo put up a sign telling the squirrels that it was not a wood chipper. (Do squirrels know what a wood chipper is?)
Oh, and shame on you, Cleo! You should be nice to the squirrels.
Susan, I only get eight differences this week.
You have put a rectangle around…
…the “Once again, Cleo’s best laid plans are thwarted..” box….
…. I have checked and checked and checked, I still see no difference.
Please, tell me what it is, so I can tell my opthamologist which gene in my needs fixing.
i came back and couldn’t find #9. after looking at the solution, i STILL couldn’t see it. so i checked out Alexi’s post, and then MORE CATS’ response. i could immediately see the difference! thanks. guys.

“CORN FRITTERS” Credited to: Mrs. Victor Boyer
3 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 ears corn, grated
(or 1 can corn)
Beat the eggs lightly, add sifted flour, seasoning and baking powder, stir together,
and add the grated corn. Season and drop from a spoon into deep fat. Fry quickly to
a golden brown. Drain on brown paper and serve at once. Makes 20.
Notes from me:
Internet research says that a medium sized ear of corn will yield about 1/2 a cup of kernels. So for cooking purposes, get enough cans of whole kernel corn to make as close to 24 ounces as you can get.
Use oil at 375° F..
I’m partial to corn oil.
Haven’t I introduced them yet? Shame on me.
We’ve seen them live on Sommer-Tollwood 2018. Great performance, nearly 2 hours long with only a short break in between.
American Goldfinch – BING Picture of the Day – 7.16.2022
Birds, bees, and flowers grace today’s photo, but we’re going to bet that potato chips will be what you remember tomorrow. First the basics: We’re in South Carolina looking at a beautiful American goldfinch perched atop a sunflower. While the matching color scheme makes for a great photo, it’s likely this little bird has stopped for a meal. American goldfinches are among the strictest vegetarians in the bird world, preferring grains and seeds, especially sunflower seeds. That’s why it’s not uncommon to see them in neighborhoods with well-stocked bird feeders. In fact, human activity has generally benefited American goldfinches overall. The birds thrive in areas where forests have been removed—they prefer open meadows or fields covered in weeds.
The European goldfinch has long been kept as a pet bird, perhaps due to its ability to learn simple tricks. Meanwhile, its American cousin prattles on about potato chips. That’s its signature call. The American goldfinch has several vocalizations but its most common is a twitter that sounds distinctly like it’s calling out ‘po-ta-to-chip, po-ta-to-chip.’ In the birding community, the call is so unique and distinguishable that the American goldfinch is referred to as the ‘potato chip bird.’ Perhaps more interesting, the bird has been observed to distinctly oscillate as it flies, dipping down and back up, over and over, as it screams ‘po-ta-to-chip’ on the upswing. So, next time you have a hankering for chips, give a listen to nature’s advertising agent calling out a not-so-subtle message.
Nighthawks
Well, he might be a comic book star… but can he create “Cleo and Company” cartoons?
I didn’t think so!
we have nighthawks, too……
Ah, yes Caprimulgiformes: The Goatsuckers and Oilbirds…
I used to watch them around tall lights when i lived in AZ
Don’t let it go to tour head, Nighthawks.
couldn’t POSSibly go to my head, since I didn’t create them
.
Now THAT‘s a Wonder Woman!

we know what she wants to grow up as.
,.
Now THAT’S the whole gang!
..
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
And awwww….
you both said it ALL!
I guess he enjoys his fish dinner in his own way. I prefer one bite at a time.
Butbutbut – that was one bite at a time!
Yeah… I guess you can’t really take two bites at one time.
I can’t find an identity for this character.
My first thought was he was a “Top Cat” character, but all searches say he’s from “Heathcliff”; but I can’t find him in any list of “Heathcliff” characters.
He IS Heathcliff. You can find him over on GC.
Heathcliff by George Gately for July 16, 2022 – GoComics
You beat me to it!
Maybe he’s not in that list of “Heathcliff characters” because he’s the main character, and not part of the supporting cast?
Also, this is cartoon Heathcliff, whose appearance has always seemed a little pudgier and tamer….more child-friendly, I guess…. than newspaper-comic Heathcliff.
I’ve always considered him in general a watered-down Garfield.
It took me a few minutes, but I got all nine.
Nuts! I’m not going to see anything tonight. I’ll give it a shot tomorrow.

thanks a heap. LL! hope everything is ok.
Welcome back!
And since I don’t have another way to tell you…
I don’t think you mean “Felice Navidad” … that’s for one particular birthday…. in December.
I think you’re looking for “¡Feliz cumpleaños!”
sorry, I peeked.
that was kind of you putting your correction under wraps.
Of course, you are correct. PLUS, using “Happy” was just redundant.
feliz feliz feliz!
That was a catty thing to say!
i found 8 right off the bat. will look at it fresh in the a.m. g’night, all.
I have been trying to get to bed early to meet my early morning obligations, so I don’t get to these puzzles until the next day.
S’OK… it’ll still be here.
And I’m holding down the fort at ridiculous hours of the night.
ooo. early morning obligations.
bummer.
I think I got all nine. I will be gone most of the day tomorrow, so will have to check when I get home.
So glad Cleo put up a sign telling the squirrels that it was not a wood chipper. (Do squirrels know what a wood chipper is?)
Oh, and shame on you, Cleo! You should be nice to the squirrels.
Um… I think Cleo’s motivation for the sign was the opposite of kindness.
It IS a wood chipper.
If the squirrels know that, they won’t go in.
Shame on you, Cleo, indeed!
Here I am, Cleo Gang!
I hope posting the solution will save some squirrels!
Well, maybe it won’t matter, if Claude or Clara, or whoever is off to the right, actually enforces that command…
But we all know there’s a fairly dismal record of that.
…
In any case, you are supposed to obey this command:
NO PEEKING till you’ve given it your best shot!
After that, you can compare your solution with mine….
You have put a rectangle around…
…. I have checked and checked and checked, I still see no difference.
Please, tell me what it is, so I can tell my opthamologist which gene in my
You need to look at..
Thank you ! Now I see it.
I had to come back to the puzzle three times, but I finally found the one I missed the first two goes.
i came back and couldn’t find #9. after looking at the solution, i STILL couldn’t see it. so i checked out Alexi’s post, and then MORE CATS’ response. i could immediately see the difference! thanks. guys.
I dood it! (finally!)

Good morning Cleophans!
Y’all don’t fritter away the day. (((((HuGz!)))))
If you ain’t laughin’ by minute one, you ain’t-got -no -sense -of –humour- not –no- how. 😀 😀
Well, THAT was different! Loved it!!!
Thanks for posting it, Alexi!
What a great cover! Again, Alexi, thanks for finding this gem of a band!
