Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 05, 2024

That’s what happens when you have two biters in the household.

i’d do that myself but would all the family members do so too? i doubt it …

My, but those cones are a shame.

They’ve done wonders for the neighbors too.

And paw licking.

Just don’t go outside when it’s raining.

Good morning Balladeers!

Ooo, another “Coneheads”! Let’s consume mass quantities!

Harry hasn’t moved since Monday when Marge tied his cone extra tight.

…which was needed since they started their latest diet idea.

The cone would give me claustrophobia. Also Jerry did a great job drawing the comic. Great detail with the wicker chairs, her dress and the newspaper!!

Hmmm.

Also explains why there are no kids around.

This will greatly hinder Reginald’s habit of gnawing on his crotch.

Max is amazed the “Cones of Silence” actually work.

The couple discover their marital aids come in handy for howling at the moon.

Beatrice attempts to perfect the tricky art of reading though opaque plastic.

Only problem it makes sleeping difficult……

While the Sibleys have difficulty hearing one another, next door neighbors report an unfortunate clarity, right up to the fifth floor level.

I’ll never forget the “Cone of Silence” in the “Get Smart” TV series. It made communication impossible.

sure makes serving him dinner a lot easier!

They both got neutered too, which has helped reduce aggression.

Good evening, Ballard Dears!

Shika, LOL LOL! That’s hilarious! :-D :-D

you just have to smile that those are called “elizabeth collar” here in japan… ☺

The tension is also reduced by the fact that she can’t read the newspaper, just pretending.

It’s odd, but the Sibley’s dog, Lucky, has been under the impression that they are doing this in sympathy with him. He is stuck wearing one for the customary dog reasons, and he believes they are acting to make him feel more “one of the family” again. He’s quite devoted to them.
