Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 17, 2009

With what did you stab the counter in the previous burst?

Margueritem, there are two forks in the counter.

I was thinking that she had a fork in each hand. Your take on it could be the correct one.

Uncanny! Can you make it a complete table service for 8?

Yay! The Bassets are waddling down fourth Avenue. Their permit was for two hours, but they may need to get an extension.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Everybody!

We’re not only here to post our comments on

Congratulations, Nighthawks and Stel!

Last year the 17th of March fell on a Saturday…. so we had a puzzle version of this St. Pat’s strip.

This year, the only puzzle is… when will Sherpa get integrated once again with GoComics so we can comment directly?

I know what Stel thinks, but I’m more of a Pollyanna…

So I say… Three cheers!

One for St. Patrick’s Day, one for Cleo’s fifth anniversary….

and one to our future all-Cleo forum:

Hip Hip Hooray!

I don’t think I trust being around Joyce when she’s in one of “those” moods….

though Harold says she’s harmless, and takes it all out on various household items instead of people or other living creatures.

He says even Babs the cat knows she’s perfectly safe with Joyce.

Still…. we should go to the Tiki anyway….

I’m making a huge pot of corned beef and cabbage there…

one free plate per customer, $1.77 for a big plate of seconds or thirds.

Green beer only if you ask… cos it has to be a pale lager or even (shudder) light “beer.”

We’d rather serve you real beer… especially Guinness … the real stuff (stout) is too dark to turn green…. and it doesn’t even show that well in the Harp Lager (which technically isn’t Guinness any more.)

Fenton actually attended a full day training in pouring the stuff… ask him to demonstrate. He likes to oblige.

We can toast Cleo…. and Eirinn Go Brach!

Even though I’m about as Irish as gefilte fish.

May the forks be with you.

I don’t think there’s enough cake for everybody.

Cleveland ain’t got nuthin’ on Hot Springs:

my favorite part of my own comment (not to be confused with My Favorite Part™) was

albiet a bit

CONGRATULATIONS to Nighthawks on five beautiful years of Cleo & Company!!!!!!!! I’ll bring a pot of real coffee to the celebration to go along with Cleo’s cake.

So when did StelBel join the Company. I do remember when she first started, but when was that? So, Congrats to Stel as well.

I always check my profile as a rule, so if I just post a Howdy here, it will be there and remind me to at least stop by and say HOWDY, :-D!

I can see why they don’t let her have knives anymore.
