Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 17, 2010

That’s just wishful thinking.

I’ll bet they step on each other’s feet a lot…

LOL!

Put on your dancing shoes, those 45’s always get you dancin’

Where does Mr. Van Amerongen come up with this stuff! He must eat a pizza before he goes to bed at night…….

She was a great flapper when she was young.

Is she playing “Walk don’t Run” by the Ventures on the record player…..or “Wipeout ?”

I’ve heard of the Swiss Slap Dance; I guess there must be variations…

Well, clearly they are not tap dancing. I would love to see this animated! With sound! Flap, flap flap flappy flap flap. But how long can Kirby go without messing up?

What a beautiful tribute to the season!

Cleo makes a great nutcracker, her teeth look like they could do the job. Love all the glittery decorations, StelBel!!

Well done StelBel. However, this one may have driven you nuts animating it.

That’s just wishful thinking on their part.

I have no doubt Cleo is a nutbiscuit. Her actions confirm it day in and day out.

Kirby is clearly looking forward to this. And we will assume that Alison is too, since she has to put on the music. I bet the two of them can really cut a rug, so to speak. I hear they’re thinking of entering the jitterbug contest at the VFW to raise money for the orphans’ Christmas. And they’re the early favorites. The up front betting at the bar has them at 3:1 odds, if they enter.

Wow… Just look at Stel’s poster…

In the Dec 17th, 2020 “Cleo and Company” on Sherpa!

Dennis is right… A beautiful tribute to the holiday season!

Glitter everywhere!

 

What a nice little doggy, gracefully holding both that heavy tree and a sword… probably a very talented young dancer.It’s a ballet, and often they cast those from ballet schools, except for the principals. There’s a lot of competition for roles.

 

I don’t really think it’s Cleo, though….

cos not only does it take a level of strength and precision that require a dancer, not an actress…

Well… it’s a tan pup… and Cleo’s muzzle is white.

Besides, were our glamorous movie star in it, she’d probably insist on playing Clara.

(And don’t tell her, but I don’t really think that would be a great idea.)

  

Every time I look at this poster, I hear the music….

Ooooh….

I love to see the Nutbiscuit at Christmas!

Dum dum da dum dum, da dah!

  

Oh look…. they made a human copy…

What a homely fellow, to replace that adorable dog!

Sometimes I just can’t understand casting decisions.

And the colors…. not half so pretty!

I’m posting this from my tablet…

But I have to leave it on the charger, and go see whether I can come back in a little while, using the computer.

Dum dum da dum, da dah….

Stel Bel has brought us another great holiday classic today with The Nutbiscuit. Who can forget the scene when the giant bowl of kibble rises from the stage?

There was this:

For a few thousand bucks there’s a laser surgery clinic in Belchertown that can take care of that moustache, Cleo.

Good morning, Ballardeers! Q Date: 279.98561.06 Flippity dippity. Bang! Flippity Dippity. BANG! That would be the sound from her. 2 steps and fall down.

Nutbiscuit the motion picture. Another sparklie Thursday Christmas Classic by the poster creator extraordinaire!

Y’all shield your eyes for this one. (((((HUGS)))))

Oh what big teeth you have!!!

But wait. He is a Nutbiscuit after all. They have big teeth in their job description.

Love, love, love all the Sparklies, Stel. Really brightens up the whole house!

Why, Cleo just sparkles today. Bright & shiny! Love it!

Go Kirby, GO!

That’s not Cleo. She doesn’t have a stache.

I’ll bet they do a soft shoe, instead of tap.

…flap?
