Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 31, 2010

They keep his mood light…

He tied the ballon to what hair on his head?

Within the last year, the public radio program “The Story” told about a man who attached balloons to an office chair and flew to 12000+ feet.

Stayed tuned for next week it’s….drum roooolllllll…

“Squeeky Toys”!!!…

Perfect choice for a Cleo and Company cartoon today.

No Agnes, not we, only me. You didn’t show sufficient appreciation for your balloons the last time, so you’ve been cut off.

Agnes mistakenly thought that she and Cliff had passed the balloon stage, and were on to the clay animals stage of their relationship.

Cleo is totally innocent in this escapade, of course.:

Yup… An interesting match for

the July 31st  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Where Cleo has a little “oopsie” on Sherpa:

Was it really an accident… or an “accident”, as an excuse?

It that cute little smile sheepish, or is it devilish?

I guess we’ll know in the next frame.

OOPS… There is no next frame.

Maybe in panel two?

Nope… No panel two, either.

Nighthawks! We need a panel two.

Ok, maybe it’s for our own good that we don’t get to see the mayhem.

I HATE to see nice little doggies get hurt.

Wait… Thus is Cleo we’re talking about.

And Claude.

Cleo isn’t little… And sometimes I’m not sure about “nice.”

And just how hurt can a sturdy basset hound get from a loud “Confound it, Cleo!” ??

I’m sure the pain is just unbearable.

I could do with a little refreshment like that – tropical nights. Not below 77 °F – and no AC.

Agnes should be glad that he kept his clothes on this time unlike Gary Sanders…

(Susan provided that picture on the Ballard Street 10 years from here just a few days ago.)

He tie more than one on.

It slipped.

Good Morning Ballardeers and Ms Sunshine! Q-date 140.98180.54 Welp. Somebody raised the humid again.

Stel-lar animation has our heroine accidentally letting a water balloon slip to fall on her hapless victim. Why she was at the top of a stepladder conveniently placed behind the chair is for the reader to fathom.

Y’all take a few laps around the house for me. (((((HUGS!)))))

Yes, yes you would.

Yes, yes he is.

Those balloons full of water do get very slippery. Love Cleo’s smile at the end!……the little devil!

I saw Cleo wrestling with Jiminy Cricket up there on that ladder! Jiminy lost.

Love the ’’Ooppps"!

Hey…. how did Claude know it was Cleo????

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

I guess I don’t understand animation. This one seemed to have a lot more going on than other C&Co’s that had to be posted off-site…

It’s a good thing that Clara didn’t here Claude say those cuss words. She would have dumped three balloons full of water on him. The water would have come from an un-flushed toilet bowl. Only 5 more months to go till they don’t fix after three years.

but who’s counting?
