Keep your dangly parts up, kid. That looks cold.

You can see from his (or her) calculating expression, especially the eyes…

why we have expressions like “out-foxed” and “sly as a fox.”

You just KNOW that’s a smart animal.

Wolves and coyotes, too.

I love all three of those songs.
I wore out my No Secrets 8Track, bought it in Cassette and wore that out.
I now have it on CD.

Awfully quiet in here….

I was expecting to hear howling, weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

Not that I like to hear such things from my poor put-upon Cleo pals and puzzle people…

Believe me, this cruelty is all Nighthawks’ idea.

I’ll be back in a little while… when perhaps a few more reports will have drifted in…. and I’ll post a solution.

Meanwhile… I bought a new laptop a few weeks ago… miracles do happen….

But illness distracted me from setting it up.

The old one was doing … OK, not fine, exactly… but all right….

Until last night… in the middle of typing a comment… when suddenly, it…. wasn’t …any more.

That’s why I was missing.

…..

I’m temporarily posting from my tablet, but sometime in the next few days…. I hope… wheee!

Wish me luck!

Thanks, Dennis…

I’m getting there… it’s kinda taking longer than I’d hoped.

Normally I wouldn’t even mention it…

but combined with computer and internet problems, it makes for too many absences.

Hopefully all will be resolved.

Nighthawks, I think you forgot to put the differences in this puzzle. I got one definite ~ probably the one others got. There are two possibly ~ maybe’s. Just went back and looked again – that’s it. I guess you didn’t like us commenting that last weeks was easy.
Sure glad Susan is here!

Milo is a cutie!

Agreed. I don’t bust my tail to find differences, but on a quick review, I only saw one.

Well, this one definitely was a tough one. I really enjoy the Cleo and Company comics. There’s just one, but you add a lot to it. I would read it without all the other stuff. I, too, have cut back on reading some of the GoComics. They seem to get rid of the ones I really like or the creator decides to leave GoComics for whatever reason.

Howdy Cleoians, and People of the Puzzle…

We have something new, tonight…

Well… actually … something old.

I see that you’ve noticed (I knew you would! ) that tonight’s puzzle is… um…  slightly impossible…

So Nighthawks pulled the Semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker PERFECTIONISTA right out of her well-deserved retirement…

where she was contentedly sitting in the porch swing, eating bon-bons, catching up on romance novels…

And cruelly put her back to work!

So tonight, we have an animation solution, or maybe a solution animation… just like long ago.

It turned out to be a lucky thing for me….

because I always use Paint on my computer to do the circled solution.

I don’t have a program on my phone or tablet that would have made a decent looking one…

That is… had I been able to solve it anyway.

I believe I got four on my tablet, but had no time to look on my computer, which has slightly better resolution.

(The new one, when I get it set up, should be better. Yay!)

I was waiting to post the .gif to see how far anybody got before peeking was even possible… but I’m sleepy, so here you go….

Do your best…

And then

take a look here!

If you have problems seeing the differences even looking at the animation, just say so, and tomorrow I’ll post a list.

There were times when some of those differences were called “glitches” and didn’t count.

I agree.

Especially since I’m the one who always reminds people not to be so persnickety about teeny glitches!

Well, it looks like the two I kinda thought were differences, are differences. Very subtle. I would never have gotten the others.

This one IS a tough one, I’m still stuck at 8. Gotta get more coffee and try a bit later… Hoping not to have to use PERFECTIONISTA’S solution… And after finding the second difference, I’ve had to use the micrometer to find the others…
ADDENDUM: Got the last one. But now my eyes are a-jumping as much as PERFECTIONISTA’S GIF — I guess I’ve had way-to-much coffee!!!!

The PERFECTIONISTA replies: “sorry for the jumping solution! Sometimes, it’s hard to get the pixels to match perfectly when one panel has to be “cut” away from the side-by-side. I know it was close (but no cigar!), so I just went with that, as long as it (kinda lol) clearly showed the answers. I was just a bit rusty….”

She now has to change her title to ‘Semi-anonymous animation-solution-maker SEMI-PERFECTIONISTA’ (SAASMSP)!!!

I thought BBC only meant the normal jumping of the gif,

i.e., the animated parts moving…
the way gifs are supposed to “jump around.”

Not any slight background quivering, which I thought was barely noticeable in this one.

Certainly not noticeable enough to cause anybody a lowering of rank, or demotion of job title, and consequent loss of salary.

I do not intend to process such a demotion

By the way… If anybody has spoilers to post about the puzzle…

PLEASE…. it’s EASY to hide them.

You don’t need charts, diagrams, or pictures…

You just need to know how to highlight text…. If you can’t do that, ask.

….

ALL you have to do is, wherever you want it to appear in your comment…

Just type the text and/or paste the link you’ll want to hide…

THEN… Highlight it. (Ie Make it turn blue with your mouse.)

THEN click the [+] below (on the right in the toolbar).

….

A little box pops up….it says “spoiler title”

Type in that little box what you want people to click on…

Like “click here” or “spoiler”… And click OK

(mine above says “Take a look here.”)

That automatically puts your highlighted text in the right place.

Click “Post Comment.”

That’s it.

You should have a gray tag with a plus sign that says something, and when it’s clicked, you should see the secret stuff.

If by any chance anything goes wrong, like you forgot to highlight… you can refresh the page and use the “Click to edit” button to delete your comment and try again.

You have to refresh before you get that button.

When you write a comment, there’s no black bar with symbols in it, at the bottom of the little window you’re typing into?

That’s the toolbar, and I thought everybody had it.

I’ve seen other videos from that site…

Just vehicle after vehicle, running into that overpass.

They should make local truck drivers watch them before getting or renewing their licences.

We have(had? – there were plans to demolish it for good) one of those here in Munich, too – over in Moosach.
