    His Eminance made his own sanny, that is where the glitz came from.

    Either that or he got the promotion from ” walrus supreme”.

    OK, NOW WE ARE UN-BANNED. (apparently, it WAS a glitch)

    GOCOMICS HAS RESTORED CLEO AND COMPANY TO IT’S FORMER PLACE IN THE SHERPA LINEUP.

    [and, btw, according to our contacts, we were never “banned”. It turned out to be a technical glitch, just as I thought all along, Nighthawks! ]

    Glad to see that Sharpa has gotten back to. at least, showing our favorite comic! Now let us hope they move on to restoring comment forums to the toons!

    “Everyone pretend to be normal” is our motto on Ballard Street when outsiders come snooping around.

    Alan Arfin was great in this film. And I love Stel’s rendition of the little Miss.

    The human versions I’ve found so far are all only part of this one. Great artwork again, StelBel!

    Nappers and sleepers, huh? I’ve always suspected the sleepers to be enemy agents (probably cats) masquerading as bassets. Then again, they both sleep a lot, so it wouldn’t be too hard to pull that masquerade off.

    Yay! And hi everybody!

    We’re baaack….. yes, we’re still posting comments here on Ballard Street ….

    but the Jan 14th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

    is BACK on SHERPA!

    YAY!!

     

    OMG… Little Miss Sunshine….

    sooo embarrassing to see it again.

    I was so young… thinking I’d be a star one day…

    but starting out in basset movies is hard.

    There’s so much talent around you, it’s a good place to learn your craft….

    But squeezing into that short-legged little costume… whoa!

    And while the dogs all spoke English, I didn’t speak basset…. so I think I missed quite a few little jokes at my expense.

     

    I didn’t find a human version of Stel’s whole poster either….

    The humans seem to have borrowed bits of it at a time, for different designs.

    This one uses a bit more of it…. and at least has the names, for comparison.

    https://www.iceposter.com/thumbs/MOV_9105663f_b.jpg

     

    You may notice that the human Olive is played by some little girl named Abigail.

    My Mom said they probably didn’t ask me because they thought I was really a dog!

    I thought that was praise for my acting….

    but nowadays I’m not sure that was what she meant.

     

    It’s OK… I like dogs.

    Especially Cleo…. and I’m glad she’s back on Sherpa.

    Funny how you come to appreciate what you have, even if you didn’t, before…

    when it gets taken away, and you suddenly have even less, or nothing.

    We never had nothing, because we have our makeshift nest, here, cozily hidden away… and each other…

    and of course, Cleo, albeit on PostImage.

     

    I wonder how many other groups meet on old pages… I know of one… plus a couple on current but obscure forums.

    None about a different comic.

    Someone could have a whole secret strip…

    until someone’s profile comments gave it away.

    Meanwhile… I have an announcement….

    Just like this doggie…

    I really blew it….

    https://www.papercards.com/images/avanti/cd10786-basset-party-blower-birthday-card.gif

     

    Normally, I don’t even try to keep up with all the birthdays any more… it’s harder for some people to see pictures, and the crowds are smaller…

    plus there are so many of you who have never told me when yours happens to be.

    So I mostly just say “Happy Birthday”, if I know the date, and I remember.

     

    I can’t forget StelBel’s, cos she’s the Queen, and, um.. you know…

    But some other people have helped with them for years, when we still had big parties on Ballard Street….

    and I feel bad if their special days escape me.

     

    That in mind… I missed one a week ago…

    I didn’t get to the comics at all that day…

    Then I planned to make it up, but I forgot, in all the excitement.

     

    So now, hoping he sees it….

    I want to wish a (very belated) HAPPY BIRTHDAY…

    (with apologies) to J.P. STEVE!

     

    There’s a dinner platter and a beverage.. your choices…

    waiting for you at the Tiki, Steve….

    and a round of drinks (alcoholic or non) on me for everybody else.

     

    Let’s all raise a glass… “For he’s a jolly ♪ ♫ good fellow!”♪ ♫

    Hip hip hurrah!

    I guess the glitch is fixed. I hope it wasn’t something I said yesterday about a few million cats. Also, one tiny little glitch I noticed. The comment date should be 2010/01/14 and not 2020/01/14. I won’t be able to comment next week until late in the afternoon. I start a much better paying job next Monday. I just have to be there a lot earlier. At least I wasn’t banned from what I said yesterday. Maybe now, they’ll fix the rest of Sherpa.

    What a really nice welcoming sight we have with Cleo back on the Sherpa page. Hooray! And who else to welcome us back but our own Little Susie Sunshine! Stel, you did a terrific job on depicting our famous gal. (Love the color of her shorts).

    Now our day can begin.

    Just wait till Sparky(?) decides to claim that drag as his new favorite spot, completely oblivious to Mr. Peacock.

    Or when the latter starts to dance…

    Well done Stel with a tip o’ the hat to miss Susan.

    Yes. I’m really late. Shopping with Mom day was a long one. Dang. For an 88 y.o., she can still get around. Only problem with that is that she’s so short, I can lose her behind a produce table, then I have to wait until she goes by a gap in the aisles or she comes back to put stuff in the cart. I can barely keep up with her, but she tends to read every label on a shelf that catches her eye. Keeps me hopping.
