Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 24, 2010

Someone has stress issues.

Besides, you’re knocking the vase over.

ejcupulet, a friend of my daughter was in China for several months, and said that the food was very greasy.

If he gets his feet any higher, he’ll have his head up his butt.

Followup to rac0308:

……and an ample butt it is!

You should wait an hour after eating before scaling the living room.

Welcome, everybody!

This is an experiment… for reasons known only to the computer gremlins… half an hours after GoComics locked my computer out tonight…. it just started working again!

So, hopefully, I’m here to comment with you on

the Feb 24th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you’ll find on Sherpa

Claude and Clara should know better than to read the fine print…. I think you’re not supposed to.

That’s why it rolls past at blazing speed, in a font so small only mice can see it… and maybe cats…

Cleo doesn’t bother trying.

But I do agree…. I’ve had to be taken off medicine because its side effects were arguably worse than whatever it was supposed to cure.

I especially hate it when they’re almost the same anyway…

like the strong antibiotic that once cost me over $100, when $100 was worth more, and made me way more sick than the illness it was supposed to help with.

I stopped taking it and was kind of relieved to be just naturally ill.

If you are challenged for space, you just might have to install your climbing wall above the sideboard, but you should probably remove the vase before starting your climb.

RE Cleo & Co: People’s Pharmacy recently had an article about drug companies using cute animated critters. The critters are always most cute and interesting when the background voice is rattling off the worst side effects.

When I had mild skin issues as a teen, my mother bought me sea sand almond bran for peeling. And no, I’m not allergic to almonds. Worked perfectly.

If they list the same side effect twice, does that mean you’re twice as likely to experience it?

I recommend Damitol for whatever ails you.

My (least) favorite are the ads that do not even tell you what this new drug is supposed to treat. Just take it because it’s new and comes in a pretty color! It must be for hypochondria.

I said this a while back on another comic. They should not be able to advertize any drug on tv that can’t be sold over the counter.

Death may be more preferable than taking that drug.

She drove him to it.

That’s some color combo today

P.S. Nathan should dump whats-her-name, time travel back a day, and hook up w Stephanie.

anybody catch my tribute to “Joe Vs the Volcano” in the list of side effects?

Side effects? We don’t need no steenking side effects!

Good morning Balladeers, Plods and Miss Susan!

I have enough trouble just climbing into a car.

Don’t you just love how the pharmaceutical companies think you (and they) are smarter than your doctor? My doctor would recommend plain old soap and water. The only side effect would be from getting soap in my eyes.

Good decision Claude!

I wonder if some of those side effects are what is happening on this web site. Every once in a while, the comics don’t appear and I have to restart. As for the other side effects, there is a pill for them.
