Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 13, 2008

Hi all….

Please join us on this nice snowy walk, in progress,

and post your comments here for ….

the March 13th, 2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which, as always, you can read on Sherpa:

BTW…. that link is for the current strip, whenever you click it, not for a certain day…. so please feel free to bookmark it.

And for those who might be new….

if ever you can’t find us…..

this comment page is ten years to the day…. by the date, not the day of the week,

before the current (2018) Ballard Street strip.

 

When there’s a slight deviation…. as when 2008 was a Leap Year….

I try to post the matching date for Cleo…. or just look for all the chatter!

 

I hope Rory isn’t so uptight he would scold a dog for doing what a dog does on a walk….

I thought that was one reason you walked them….

But if he is….

have you dogs practiced pointing across the street.

as if to say “there he goes! That stray Doberman did it!” ??

Aah, the immortal Grace Kennely. Hollywood’s loss was Monaco’s gain.

Looks like the dogs are enjoying a smoking break.

The hoomin version has the hot red dress and the pearls, but nobody wears purply eye shadow like Cleo!

Dial B for Basset??!! Are you trying to imply that Cleo is a call girl?

Wow…. another Hitchdog masterpiece.

And yes…. “immortal” is the right word for Gracie Kennely. Gone but never forgotten.

 

Just look at that sleek…. OK, for a basset…. silhouette….

the classic pearls and simple, timeless gold jewelry.

No wonder she caught the heart of a real prince, and became actual royalty.

 

And there’s the suave Ray Millhound.

Bobby Kibblings when he actually was young….. before he became preternaturally well-preserved.

And the suspense!

The suspense is like an actor in this film.

 

I hope you don’t mind, Dennis…

but I found a poster with the human cast listed….

so we can see how hard they tried to copy the names of these fine basset actors.

There oughta be a law!

Meanwhile….

Sorry guys… this time change is messing me up…..

I didn’t think I’d even notice cos I keep such late hours anyway….

but no.

Anyway…. I got here and dozed off!

Sigh…..

BTW…. since I keep late hours anyway…. and sometimes post with my tablet….

I just wanted to reiterate….. I post before I go to bed….

I’m asleep when the morning commenters arrive…. and I come back quite late.

So if you ever think I don’t “like” your comments…… I DO….

but you may have to check quite late in the evening.

And occasionally clicking “like” or even replying from my tablet doesn’t “take.” I come back and it’s gone!

That movie was murder to watch.

Dial B for Bassetts licorice allsorts (we had them every christmas).

I much prefer dialing ‘B’ for Basset than dialing ‘M’ for that other thing. Cleo is so purty!

Watch out, Gracie Kennely, don’t answer that phone!!!!

Mr. Hitchdog didn’t tell you the true story line. He didn’t tell you about the black mail. He didn’t tell you about this evil man wanting to steal your fortune. Don’t answer that phone! (I can’t look. Does she answer the phone?)

I love your "tail"ored dress!!!
