.
His name is Spot.
Undoubtedly.
Must be because of all the white spots covering his shiny black coat, ya think?
Is Spot youir dog? Adorable pup to be sure!
No, I just claim naming rights!
Glad you made it tonight.
If I were naming this guy today, I might argue for “Stripe.” Or at least “Paisley.”
..
Looks Forsaken and Forgotten too.
Still some of the best shakes ever made.
Soft serve! Mmmm!
It doesn’t look abandoned to me.
The cement, the tables and benches, and the windows are clean and unbroken, unlike the place a few pictures farther down the page.
Even the inside is tidy.
Most of all, the sign is lit up. Somebody’s paying the electric bill.
…
There’s a lake, or a shoreline, behind the restaurant, and it looks like either it has rained, or the water has risen enough to have washed over the patio.
I’m thinking maybe it’s just that it’s dawn, and nobody is about yet…
Or possibly this a summer place, a Fosters Freeze that attracts beachgoers, but it’s now closed for the season.
“Foster’s”?!! I thought it looked so desolate because it was “Faster’s” food. Faster’s food would have pretty slim pickings.
…
“We must prepare for an invasion from Mars”, says the cover art, which appears to show us invading Mars.
“Mars is the only planet inhabited only by robots.”
it is indeed!—-still functioning robots….
Venus has a couple of malfunctioning (dead) robots
Not true! Earth is inhabited by robots too!
Interesting that they had to cover their heads, but the rest of the body was exposed. And watch out for that creature coming out of the door behind you.
Guys get a spacesuit. Ladies get a helmet and chain mail bikini.
Yeah, sensible clothing. LOL
The helmet is for air, not for protection.
They’re wearing some tiny pump or other system that magically generates oxygen to fill the glass head enclosure.
They don’t worry about other harsh aspects of the Martian or other interplanetary environments…
After all the atmosphere is pleasant, just like on earth, except for air, and everything that lives there speaks English… Why not wear earth style clothing?
….
That is a beautiful series of sculptures to capture the creature running and stopping.
Don’t let me down.
Where’s Happy3?
BUNNY! 😀
Attaboy!!!
I love it! Where is it at?
Known as the Shinji-Ko rabbits, they run from an art museum to the shore of Lake Shinji, in Matsue, Japan
.,
Probably just looking for a baby to cuddle.
Paleontologists now think that the megalodon was less shaped like a great white and more like a blue water shark.
Now, imagine that as big as a megalodon.
And HUNGRY!!!
AI generated? I think there are too many fins, there’s an odd hook on the tail fluke, the lateral-line sensor is too visible, and I don’t think it has enough gill slits.
There are literally hundreds of shark species, so the picture could actually be 100% real.
Sharks are older than trees. Yeah. They’ve diversified quite a bit since then. 😀
,
Shark!!

Something about this painting says, to me, Russia. I have no idea who the artist might be.
,.,
IEELK?
IEEIK?
VIEEIK?
I blew it up but i can’t read anything.
Selling Ieeik-cream cones?
It had to be lonely, working in that little shack.
aka daleandkristen
My 1st thought was where does the employee go for a bathroom break!
I thought maybe that sign, and other bits of signage i can barely make out, were in some other language, possibly written in Cyrillic, and that this might be some abandoned outpost in Siberia or eastern Europe…..
But Google lens gave me only American results, though none were at all definitive.
It was used to illustrate articles about abandoned taco stands and quaint Americana, but not specifically described in what I could access.
The only one I saw that labeled the location said it was Louisville, Kentucky… But I don’t think so!
12 foot tall palm trees and an 8 foot prickly pear don’t suggest Kentucky to me, anyway.
Could be anywhere in the southwest.
That don’t look like any Coke sign that I’ve ever seen!
Greek? It looks like a theta (Θ) at the end. The last three could be Omicron Nu Theta
I don’t know anything Greek so thank you. 🙂
I admit, the setting still looks more like the US Southwest than anywhere else. Greece doesn’t have deserts.
find the frog who is not leaping
I found Michigan J. Frog — does that count?
Depends on whether he’s leaping.
Found him!
Got him!
Yes, same one that I found.
Yup!
Yes. 🙂
,,.,
Look at the names!
But who were the FEATURED acts??? (ie: big bucks, like $2000 or so and dressing rooms?)
Iron Butterfly had one of the most popular albums ever recorded (even if I didn’t care for them).
Creedence, the Animals, Procol Harum ….
the Chambers Brothers, José Feliciano, Deep Purple…
That was a stellar line-up in 1968!
Please: Feel free to copy and delete your comment (taking mine with it) and post the corrected version: It’s Procol Harum.
I do know it’s an innocent typo, but please correct it in this case.
True, but “harem” appears to be how it is spelled on the poster.
Lol… A bit of overreaction, isn’t that?
As I’ve said, I have no computer these days, so I post on an Android tablet.
It has a virtual keyboard, with the dreaded autocorrect, which is always deciding what it thinks I really meant to say.
Occasionally I don’t notice till I come back through and read my comments the next day.
In this case it “knew” that harem was a real word, and Harum was not, so it corrected me.
…
So I made a typo. You make them too. I don’t correct you.
It’s not a crime, nor is it hurting anyone.
In fact the same typo or misspelling is in the poster!
….
Easy enough to fix on WordPress… No need to delete my comment, nor to panic and tell me to do so!
It’s a simple edit, which I just did when I saw it, before I even read your plea.
It would be nice if you replied politely to me once in a while.
Even I know some of ’em!
WOW! When do tickets go on sale; I’d fly out to see that! What a great line-up.
Around Sept 1968.
Fly fast!
Welcome, everybody!!
A cake to celebrate!
Hurry…. Get some before Cleo sees it!
Dear me, what color is Cleo’s eye shadow? Remember, none can say it but Nighthawks (if he chooses to).
Lavender.
I was going to post that too 😁
Lilac.
thanks. I really wasn’t in the mood to scream today
Aw! And I was careful to pick an appropriate color for the text too!
Ten starting on Sherpa.
I think Nighthawks posted a few cartoons on GoComics, maybe only on Citizen Dog, before that…. but before it was called Cleo and Company.
We commented directly on Sherpa from 2014 till that site closed the comment forums in 2017… then we moved our commenting (still about the Sherpa strip) to the 10 year old Ballard Street forum..
And we moved here to WordPress a tiny bit over 3 years ago.
Happy Anniversary/Birthday!
Happy Birthday Cleo & Company! March is the best time to have a birthday. I’ve appreciated and enjoyed the content and postings immensely over the years.
Good to see you!
Always good to be seen, right?!
Wow. I’m floored. I had not previously seen these images.
Claude and Clara appear to have lost some weight. Way to go, you two.
Cleo, naturally, bottom-lining everything down to food.
Happy Birthday/ Anniversary/ Freedom Day to all you Cleocaholics!!!
And Alexi, get well soon! Quit sticking your tongue in the pencil sharpener! (At least that’s probably about the way it feels about now).
Doughnuts are not a joking matter.
That just floors me too. Ten years? Just wow. 🙂
I hope i get to see them for another (at least) ten!
Before I go to bed….
I’ll leave you all with food for morning, and tomorrow….
If Cleo says you can’t have any, tell her I said you could and there’s plenty!
Maybe my husband gets some – today is his birthday too… The Tiger of my life…
We still have to fight for our place…
Happy Birthday Tiger.
Happy birthday, mein herr Tiger.
Thanks muchly. Looks fabulous.
