    There’s worse things they could be doing.

    A pair of jaunty berets or Balmorals?

    Well, of course Cleo’s stocking is bigger. It’s hard to fit bazooka ammo in those smaller stockings.

    Hats, you say? These are not just any hats. These are symbols of achievement of Exalted Status in the Ballard County Order of Human and Canine Cultural Guardians! Show some respect!

    Hmm, Cleo has the smallest paw but the biggest stocking. How did that happen?

    I envy Cleo her warm place by the fire. Last night I couldn’t sleep worth a darn so I came down and relaxed on the couch by the light of the Christmas tree, and dozed peacefully for a few hours.

    Welcome, everybody… and hi, Farside! HI Dennis!

    Yup… you’re right, Farside…

    And Cleo is, I’ll wager, the only dog in Cleveland…. heck… in the world…

    whose doggie “parents” will buy her any bazooka ammo for Christmas. (Don’t try to tell me it comes from Santa.)

     

    Anyhow… if you don’t know what we’re referring to…. we’re discussing

    the Dec 24th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

     

    Which you can see for yourself on Sherpa

    http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwy

     

    I sure hope that’s a matching firescreen, that I see between the cabinets.

    I’d hate to think those stockings are about to go up in flames…

    and maybe even Cleo’s backside.

     

    I have to assume Claude and Clara are still sitting across from this little scene, and haven’t gone up to bed with the candles lit and the fire blazing.

    Santa has to wait till the fire’s out, too, before he fills the stockings….

     

    Don’t want everybody to wake up to find a melted mass of chocolate, candy canes, walnuts and little gifts…..

    Clara’s fuzzy new gloves would never be the same.

    To say nothing of the explosions from Cleo’s ammo-filled stocking!

     

    Meanwhile…. Andrew and Tippy weren’t planning to wear their snazzy tams in the house, Margaret…

    They’re getting ready to remind you that you’re all coming down to the Tiki….

    Dennis just gave me the idea that, instead of a back room, we should all gather in front of the big fireplace in the main bar…

    We can sit in the cozy chairs, or perhaps lie on the yak-skin rugs draped over the floor cushions and the couches.

     

    We’ll be having hot chocolate, or whatever beverages we choose (on my tab, of course…. )

    and we can discuss Cleo, and, surely, raise a glass or a cup to a Merry Christmas for All!

    They’re on their way out for a walk out there.

    All I want for Christmas is to be able to add this Cleo & Company strip to my favorites.

    Cleo wants her gift to be that she and all the others on Sherpa get put on the main page like what was promised 2 years ago.

    Cleo’s giving Claude and Clara a present. One Silent Night.
