Earlier, there was a typo that has since been corrected. I’m leaving this comment in only because to delete it would also delete the replies that came after.
this is my original comment…
[In panel 3, there is a typo that I missed (“destain” should be “disdain”). We’re aware of it
and it will get corrected.]
Well, it all depends on just when it gets corrected, and I can’t promise it’ll be any time soon. The longer it’s up, the faster the value plummets. The collectable market is always fickle.
“the others” ???
That’s what we are to you? “the others”
I’m a big shot motion picture impressario. I wear an ascot and eye patch, I use a cigarette holder, and I carry a Bat Masterson cane.
“the others” Hmmpff (mumble mumble grunt scratch)
But… but… I didn’t say you “others” were BENEATH me or anything.
It’s just…. if you were all part of ME, it would be really crowded in here.
……
In fact… you wouldn’t be able to smoke…. if that’s what you use the cigarette holder for… and I’m only a LITTLE shot…
So you’re probably better off being…. you know…..one of the …. OTHERS.

I’m as mystified as anyone with these new “titles” that seem to appear at the drop of a hat! I think it has something to do with the new “plug-in” program that manages likes and dislikes on the site. I must admit, being a member of the nobility isn’t so hard to take, and I am interested in learning what, if any, perks go along with it.
ML, I’ve been commenting a lot, lately. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with getting these descriptors or not, but that’s the only theory I’ve got right now.
Just another WordPress oddity….that probably doesn’t add up to a hill of beans. But, be assured, you’ll always be noble and trustworthy and whatever else that’s good and sweet in this world to us.
Susan and I are now “Famed Members” and in the scheme of things, I’m not sure whether that’s better or worse than “Noble”. Nighthawks, you’ve hit the big time and are now a “Noble” member.
How long we’ll all keep those designations is anyone’s guess. They seem to change at least once every hour or two…..
Well, I certainly hope you do get these “honors”, but I don’t have a clue as to when that might be. I still think that it might be connected to how much a person comments and/or receives “likes”. But, that’s only a guess on my part. And, now that I look a little more closely, you already have a gold star and are an “active” member……so, you’re on your way! (to what, you ask? I dunno.)
Well, it wasn’t recognized as the scientific term you are familiar with, but Nighthawks used it in panel 3, where it now has been corrected with the proper word for that context: “disdain”. Thanks for clueing me in that it (destain) is a real word.
The reason I chose the colours I did was because of the vagaries of computers and
monitors. I wanted to make sure the changes showed up as different from the present colours.
I agree with your logic that changes you decide to make to the site should be easily accomplished.
As I very easily made temporary changes locally without owning the website maybe you can make site wide changes that stay.
So, for what it’s worth, here’s a step-by-step of what I did to bring about the changes I
did. If you’ve tried it already and it didn’t work, no harm, but if you haven’t and try it and it
does…great…and if it doesn’t…it’s another method that didn’t work.
Please click on the attachment and note the green arrow. The little box it’s pointing at is
the one I used to change the current background colour (HEX designation #e3f7f1). Close out of the attachment and right click anywhere in a wide open area of the background color.
Move your cursor down to the “Inspect Ctrl+ Shift + I” line and select by left click
(do not use Ctrl + Shift + I as a key sequence, for some reason it brings up another style of inspection box).
When the panel opens adjust your cursor’s position until it changes to the white double-
headed arrow ⬄ left click, hold and drag the border as far left as you can
(don’t worry about the site, the programming takes care of it).
When that’s done, you’ll see three vertical slide bars (Monty Python parodies in your
mind are encouraged here) you want the middle one. Make sure it is at the very top of its run.
Left click on the body of text beginning, appropriately enough, < body class = ” post…..
To make sure you’re in the right spot, move the far right slide bar to the top of its run. You should now have what was in the attachment on your active screen.
Open the color picker by left clicking in the box.
Delete all but the # in the box and enter FFFF and if it’s going to work it has.

I fear that Don Doggo tempts fate by riding home en masque, as Perro. Just because Toronado runs like the wind is no reason to throw caution to the wind. Bullets are faster than both of them.
It surprised me, too! Their happy enthusiasm was really unexpected. I always imagine winters in Moscow to be stereotypically grey, depressing, dreary, and glum. Their energy was like a ray of sunshine breaking through.
I couldn’t see it, and clicking wouldn’t load anything.
I just realised… AFAIK there is no .tif extension… the image files are .tiff …
I’m guessing a typo or the final letter dropped in pasting.
I wanted to copy the link to my browser and add an “f” … but I can’t seem to get the plain image link, only the recursive link to this page, .with the non working saurkraut.tif (sic) embedded.

So … just between you and me… if I save a copy now, with the error, it’ll be a valuable collector’s item when Cleo is famous, right?
Shhh… don’t tell the others… it won’t be worth much if everybody saves it.
Well, it all depends on just when it gets corrected, and I can’t promise it’ll be any time soon. The longer it’s up, the faster the value plummets. The collectable market is always fickle.
Just ask the Beanie Baby collectors.
lessee now, the one for 2500 and the one for 8.57……hm
just can’t make up my mind…..
yeah…….right? It’s quite the dilemma!
“the others” ???
That’s what we are to you? “the others”

She asked me to pardon her on “Ballard Street” from ten years ago.
Yep! Just one of the bunch.
But… but… I didn’t say you “others” were BENEATH me or anything.

Okay. Yesterday you were a “Trusted Member” and today you a “Noble Member.”
Can I be a “Purplie Member?”
I’m as mystified as anyone with these new “titles” that seem to appear at the drop of a hat! I think it has something to do with the new “plug-in” program that manages likes and dislikes on the site. I must admit, being a member of the nobility isn’t so hard to take, and I am interested in learning what, if any, perks go along with it.
I’ll put in a good word for you.
interesting adjectives, to be sure.
dunno if I’d rather be Noble, Active or Trusted….
tough decision, since I’m none of the above
And I’m “trusted”… or I was, last time I could see it…
Bwa-ha-ha……
I mean, of COURSE I am.
Sniff, sniff. I ‘m neither of the above. Sniff sniff.
ML, I’ve been commenting a lot, lately. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with getting these descriptors or not, but that’s the only theory I’ve got right now.

Awwww. You’re so sweet!
As of 4:20 PM (EST):
Susan and I are now “Famed Members” and in the scheme of things, I’m not sure whether that’s better or worse than “Noble”. Nighthawks, you’ve hit the big time and are now a “Noble” member.

So when do MontanaLady and I get our honors and distinctions, huh?
Well, I certainly hope you do get these “honors”, but I don’t have a clue as to when that might be. I still think that it might be connected to how much a person comments and/or receives “likes”. But, that’s only a guess on my part. And, now that I look a little more closely, you already have a gold star and are an “active” member……so, you’re on your way! (to what, you ask? I dunno.)
Someone (or something) recognized “destain” as a real word? I thought only histologists knew that word!
Well, it wasn’t recognized as the scientific term you are familiar with, but Nighthawks used it in panel 3, where it now has been corrected with the proper word for that context: “disdain”. Thanks for clueing me in that it (destain) is a real word.
Oh, Wow! I’m now a Trussed member… good thing it’s still 7-8 months to Thanksgiving!
Don Doggo detests the despicable Slurez and his deplorable plans for the marvelous Maria.
He will devise a devious distraction to deter those plans without delay.

Gilda Radner and Jane Curtin; back when SNL was actually funny. And Chevy Chase is just funny by being there stonefaced.

Agreed, I wonder if this is the beginning of a subplot?
Whatcha got in mind?
Like in…um… 20,000 Leagues under the Sea?
[groan]
El Perro SPITS in the face of danger.
and I hear that danger is getting tired of cleaning spittle off its face
LOL !! Danger needs goggles and a face mask….just sayin’.
You don’t tug on Perro’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old Don Doggo
And you don’t mess around with Nighthawks…
Clever new song lyrics! Thanks for the earworm! (2nd one today!)
Would have been better if it scanned and rhymed…
By the way, I love that the character’s names are so subtle.
That flashmob was pretty good!
I agree! Excellent!!
surprised me that the folks in Moscow in this 2012 video were even familiar with this capitalistic tune from the 30’s
It surprised me, too! Their happy enthusiasm was really unexpected. I always imagine winters in Moscow to be stereotypically grey, depressing, dreary, and glum. Their energy was like a ray of sunshine breaking through.
Looks like I have my ear worm for the day! Thanks, Nighthawks. Love it!
If you have to have an earworm, “Puttin’ on the Ritz” is a great one to have!
I hope he’s spittin’ against the wind.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Perro and his miracle whip…
Mayo heal fast, Fernando!
That’s one cutie Irish kitten!
Couldn’t you find a cuter kitten?
LM, a cuter one may not even exist! This one is priceless!
Perro rides! Perro rides again!
A plot is hatched…
I’m not sure where it’s going, because I don’t know how pretending to be ill could save la señora from a bullet…
But then, I’m not a caped hero, who spits in the face of danger!
Nor am I a bad-ass swordsman who rides to save villagers from evil-doers, like Perro!
NO… I do not mean Perro is an evil-doer… let me rephrase that…. to save villagers from evil-doers…. like um… Perro does.?.
Oh, never mind… you know what I mean.
…
Meanwhile… Perro is confident….
Fernando might call it “cheeky.”
He is glad to be of service… but has no desire to turn the other cheek…
In fact, hearing the expression “bad-ass”… makes him resolve not to turn any more cheeks,
not in the service of Don Doggo/Perro‘s whip or sword practice, anyway.
With a cheek cheek here
And a cheek cheek there…
Here a cheek,
There a cheek,
Everywhere a cheek cheek…….
Ol’ Fernando says, “no more!”
¡No más, señor…por favor!
bad ass/turning the other cheek…..Susan shoots…..
she scores!
Somebody gotta ‘splain it to me…
I don’t speak Basketball… or any of the Sports group of languages, though I know a few words of Baseball.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, everybody!
Only one……….hah! a likely story!
Although he does seem to have a real honest face, doesn’t he? But, still….sounds like some Irish blarney to me!
LOL
But …you know… how they count DOG beers….
Well, yeah, I do………….beers…years…the formula is the same. So, if he’s had 2, he’s really had 14, but 2 sounds better. No over-indulging going on.
this is Stel’s incredibly cool solution to yesterday’s puzzle:
Love it!
And it IS, after all, Gaseous Emissions Day!
Good morning, Cleophanatics! T-27 days 3 hours 18 minutes
And we all know what day it is Corned Beef and Cabbage Gaseous Emissions Day!
Good thing Fernando has learned to turn the other cheeks (all 3 of them).
Y’all have a green beer for me… (((((HuGz for everybody)))))
and, just for the fun of it
Cabbage Gaseous Emissions Day! an idea who’s time has come
but Cleo would think otherwise
1st) Interesting (code)
2nd) Well-fermented Sauerkraut or Kimchi won’t give you gas.
Hmmm… Your sauerkraut just crashed Firefox…
I couldn’t see it, and clicking wouldn’t load anything.
I just realised… AFAIK there is no .tif extension… the image files are .tiff …
I’m guessing a typo or the final letter dropped in pasting.
I wanted to copy the link to my browser and add an “f” … but I can’t seem to get the plain image link, only the recursive link to this page, .with the non working saurkraut.tif (sic) embedded.
Okay, you made me try harder. Does this work as a jpeg?
Looks fine to me!
Allow me…
Don Doggo/Perro seems to have this well in hand. Should be a piece of cake…..yummm, cake! Save a piece for poor Fernando
The reason Don Doggo rides home as Perro is because Don Doggo is used to riding in a carriage, not on his horse.
And Don Doggo has already worn out one pair of fancy pants riding _to_ the mission…
In honor of St. Patty’s Day, I’ll be bring this to the party today:
Well – I’ve ordered Indian food just now; the starters come with green peppermint sauce.
Does that cover St. Patrick’s Day?
It’s not what I’d call traditional Irish.
Nor is green beer…
Works for me. I love Indian food.
Here’s an idea for you, StelBel. I am now watching *Hush…Hush, Sweet, Charlotte.* Hush…Hush, Sweet Cleo?
