Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 09, 2011

Don’t worry Neal, your wife will set you straight.

Wise Potato Chips do not actually impart wisdom.

He’s full of something, all right.

Shh, Neal, it’s okay…just bask in the glow….

Better keep it to yourself, Neal. If you tell someone else about it they may suggest that bloated feeling you have is a bit more basic in nature………

Sounds like BS to me.

You know, Big Storytelling.

Neal, sometimes we all can feel full of wisdom. Till we open our mouths.

Stel Bel has Cinderbasset for us tonight!

So much glitter, and her three tiny friends! I bet the humans could not copy that!

Well, Neal is full of wisdom compared to where he is most of the time. That’s not saying much.

Aha, Cinderbasset. And that’s probably StelBel in the role of the fairy godmother.

You’re full of something, alright, but I wouldn’t call it wisdom.

Oooohhh … it’s another lovely poster from StelBel…

in the Feb 9th, 2021 “Cleo and Company” …on Sherpa.

Oh, Stel…. she’s so bee-oo-ti-ful.

And glittery…. and…. and… everything.

Dripping with sparkleballs… and so pretty…. and…um… fairy-like.

But you know, her eyes look so sad….

Is it because she had to run away at midnight, and lose her glass paw-slipper?

Or because she knows it’s almost midnight, and the enchantment will soon wear off?

Or..um… maybe… is it just because she’s a basset hound and they have naturally sad looking eyes?

Whatever it is… please…. don’t be sad, Cinderbasset!

You’re beautiful, and you went to the ball… and… some day your…

Oh! Wait…. are those the footsteps of a Prince I hear?

Hi, ho, hi, ho, it’s to the dogs we go…

Dennis is right… humans couldn’t come close to the ethereal, magical look of Cinderbasset.

They did make a movie, but they obviously abandoned the attempt to copy Stel’s poster….

They didn’t have any basset stars, so they called it “CinderELLA”, so she could be human.

But apparently they gave up and didn’t even use real humans… it’s a cartoon!

I did find something… I think it might be a book cover…

where humans were trying to copy Stel’s work… but c’mon…

No sparkles… and for some reason they covered up the middle part with the title.

Why? Nothing needed to be censored, for heaven’s sake!

A little different, but it shows the real star of the human version:

Crap is the new wisdom?

In answer to Neal’s question: It’s the alcohol.

The poster – and Cinderbasset – are lovely, Stel. Magical, in a word.

Good morning, Ballardeers and Ms Bel!

Q Date: 333.98708.81 National Pizza and Cut the Cord Day.

With the look on his face, I’m thinking it just might be gas.

Well bippity, boppity boo… Another Stel-lar poster from our resident sparklie distributor.

Y’all slide the rest of the leftover pie out of the fridge and go chop and stack some firewood 4×4×8. At 3 degrees we’re gonna need some.

Full of wisdom Neal? Well, if you say so! :-D

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

Oh carp…. (((((HUGS for everyone!)))))

Oh, Stel, I think this is my all-time favorite poster you’ve created! Full of sparklies and magic. Oh so beautiful. This really brightens the day. :))

Thank you for such a bootiful, sparkly poster. No basset ever looked so good!!

And then, Cinderbasset wakes up from his nightmare and realizes that he is the evil cat next door and was dreaming about becoming a girl basset. He doesn’t dare tell his friends.

Breaking Cat news also has a Cinderella theme today.
