Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 06, 2010

His real name is Cleo.

Yes, Marg, you got that right!!

We do share the desire to live life unencumbered.

Hey, I thought they destroyed all the tapes of me on cinco de Mayo.

Teach us Well

You who are off the road must have a code That you can live by. And so become yourself And show us all that you’re a good guy

So wear your boxers well Cause what the h e l l We’ll never know why You dance in nighttime’s yard It must be hard but we know you must try.

Don’t you ever tell us why If you told us, we would cry So just look at us and sigh And know we love you

With more or less sincere apologies to Crosby Stills Nash and Young.

Teach Your Children by Graham Nash

The best guitar licks ever anywhere!

flagged that spucking fammer!

Flagged doesn’t seem to work. This xiatian outfit

turns would to be in China. I was going to send

a message to them to foff, but you can’t send

a message unless you can read Chinese. @#$%^

For heaven’s sake, man, cover up those man tits!

Oh Boy. It’s Summer on Ballard Street, clothes become optional.

“Cleo”, says Margueritem, above. Little does she know.

Michael’s a bit of a “naturist.”

Good thing the Cliffords have a convertible for the drive-in. The chair on top is an extra touch!

I never realized how word balloons can block the view of the screen! Sorry back there!

It looks as if the Cliffords are taking in Bassetzilla at the drive-in. No wonder Cleo was angling to go out.

“And this doggie might go to make its way back home on its own!"

I hope he doesn’t get any easier.

Cleo must also be blocking the screen for the folks behind in addition to the speech balloons.

Wow… this one is great!

Unless you’re sitting behind Cleo, of course…

for the July 6th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

I never thought about the opacity of word balloons either, at the drive in or in the theater… or for that matter, on the comics.

Mine must be particularly egregious here on Cleo!

Sorry if I’ve ever blocked any of you from reading the strip.

I suppose I wouldn’t block “Cleo & Co.”, cos that’s in another window, right?

OK, sorry if I’ve ever blocked your view of the 10-year-old Ballard Street.

Cleo probably has no problem with that…

she not only has the most unblockable view…

I don’t think, she’s really as interested in the screen as other patrons are anyway….

(I almost said "other people " … but she’s not a people.)

She comes for the food.

Oh… she watches the movie, no doubt…. but she’s more interested in what’s right in front of her face..

Now, if a word balloon ever gets between her mouth and her popcorn, her kibblecorn, her Milk Duds… her hot dog…. her pizza…. you get the picture…

“Bassetzilla” will have nothing on Cleo Clifford.

BTW… if the Cliffords are blocking your view…

There’s a duplicate screen right here:

Michael’s neighbors have learned never to glance over the fence!

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Good Morning Ballardeers! Another scorcher. Already in the 80s and high humidity at 0928 on this 203,115th day of quarantine.

Kids are off on their honeymoon. Florida family are here for a couple more days then I get a few days to clean the house.

Gotta be safe out there peeps! (((((HUGS)))))

Oh yeah. The crew started replacing siding on the house (outside my window) at 0700.

That’s a good movie! I’d be upset with my view being blocked, too.

I think Claude and Clara were being very thoughtful…….Where else would Susan and I get a chance to see a movie and hide behind a chair at the same time.

Did Cleo get the idea from Granny Clampett?

I didn’t know that the evil cat liked those movies.
