Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 04, 2010

Those squirrels are quite adept at gnawing holes in in the tops of refuse bins…

The squirrels are back! At least they’re being lazy and not combative. Does this mean squirrels are animal rednecks?

Must be growth hormones in the food in the dumpster.

Marguerite, I know whereof you speak. The only garbage can we have which has a cover, now has a hole in that cover, courtesy of the neighborhood squirrels. It almost looks as if they created a hole to shove soda cans through, as it’s about that size, and very nearly perfectly round.

I’m surprised they’re actual squirrels instead of people in squirrel suits. Ballard Street has a good number of animal costumers.

Oh my, oh my!

Oh my goodness, everybody.

The GoComics censors have gotten hold of

Just take a look on Sherpa:

What has Cleo done NOW?

Is she flashing a gang sign?

Or is she doing what I think she’s doing?

If so, she didn’t learn it from Claude…

He thinks “Confound it!” is strong language.

Clara probably makes him put a quarter in the “swear jar” when he even says THAT.

And after 40 years they still don’t have enough in there to go out to a really nice dinner.

Cleo, you are headed down the wrong path.

And I’m not talking about which road you should be on to follow the gang.

Some motorcycle clubs are pretty benign…

But you seem to be in one that’s teaching you bad habits.

If you won’t listen to Claude and Clara…

Think about your movie career.

Every motorcycle rider I’ve ever known has eventually racked up.

What if you injure that pretty face?

It’s your fortune, you know.

Who in their right mind would live in a dump like that?

Cleo’s gone hog wild.

Claude and Clara first thought it would be nice to get Cleo out of the house once in awhile and allow her to join a nice wholesome club.

Nighthawks has made good on his promise to take inspiration from Rotty Tailwagger (April 27). I still maintain that Cleo does not have a middle finger, but it’s the thought that counts.

Stew? Hah! Is that a reference to the contents of the dumpster?

I spy, with my little eye …. a future Find the Differences puzzle.

Cleo is the Bad, Bad Bassets Club mascot.

Whoa! How realistic this is today! Your artwork is outstanding, Nighthawks. A pleasure to look at and see all the detail. And Cleo is even wearing a great helmet, too. Love it!

Good morning Balladeers, Plods and Miss Susan. Left you a comment yesterday, Susan.

Love it the Captain America Cleo’s riding. Around here it’s the way people say Howdy, although I prefer when they use all of their fingers.

GOOD MORNING BALLARDEERS! Got a room full of bats..htuff on Day 51. Y’all be safe

I am … THE OLD SCALAGAG!…

high art. hm..

….well, I must’ve been high when I conceived and even higher when I posted that one.

but, it received the stelbel seal of approval (the same person who couldn’t bring herself to use

the b-word in a poster.)

Did something not load right, or did the people who run this place forget that Cleo only has three toes and therefore, it would be impossible for her to hold up a center finger?

Squirrels with itty bitty birdie feet?

And yes, this comment actually pertains to this day’s Ballard Street.
