Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 25, 2009

A real slice of life here.

Take me for a ride in the car-car,

“Take me for a ride in your 3.2 liter Ferrari with torsion bar suspension and those ported venturi carburetors! ”

Car, Car Peter, Paul and Mary

Look at that tail go!

That’s not a tail, that’s a propeller!

Doc - You can have the car park, I prefer a cat house.

Doc - Noon to 2AM.

“Walk? Walk? Did I hear the word walk?” Reminds me of the old Gary Larson dog bit where the dog hears “mmmmble bmmmmble, zzzzmble SPOT bmmmmble, mmmmble ”

Our’s has a little larger vocabulary, “Max, treat, walk”

Being focused on my Spicy’s anal surgery since yesterday, I can tell you with certainty that this anatomy is incomplete.

Today’s animation shows us the adapted for TV synopsis of the Basset Exorcist. Short, sweet, & to the point. Gripping cinema, I assure you.

Thursday night at the movies! This animation with Father Crass brings things to a happy ending. Or..maybe not?

We’ll hope Father Crass is just joshing him a bit.

Welcome, Cleo fans… well-established, new, or soon-to-be!

(at first I typed “old, new, or …” but I realised that the odds were there’d be somebody who took it personally.)

We’re all here to post our comments on

the Oct 25th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

It’s on Sherpa….

When I arrived tonight, nobody had posted the link, so I put it in here…

But then I dithered, and when I refreshed, Dennis had already posted it.

Follow it, to view Act Three.

There’s bit of a recap in the beginning…. but if you really didn’t see the first two, backtrack to Monday and Wednesday, to view them, too….

interspersed on Tuesday and Thursday with great basset film posters by SteBel.

I do believe this is the ending. but that last panel, in true Howlywood tradition, easily leaves an opening for a sequel!

Rats! The site has stopped working while I’ve been typing.

Luckily, I copied my post before I tried to refresh…. and now I get a connection error.

While I wait, and hope for reconnection,

may I mention that Champ is a gigantic but sweet doggie…

eager to play with his canine friends.

Roger, on the other hand, is eager to not play with his human friends.

It’s their incompatible levels of sociability that cause the difference in response.

It’s often the same with human companions…

the garrulous one who likes to par-tay, while the other would rather read all evening than ever speak to another person.

It doesn’t make them incompatible…

it just means making efforts to accomodate each other’s need…

like Roger bringing his iPod to the park so Champ can romp.

Oh…. a test post worked….

Hope you can see this!

That’s one big happy dog.

What will Mama Crass say?

They did the whole exorcism wrong. They should have compelled that evil cat with catnip and not kibble.

Gee. Who could have premeditated THAT ending.

Is this where Fr. Crass jumps through a window?

It’s amazing how Rotifer Tailwag knew there would be a character named Father Crass in the ending episode. Wow! What clairvoyance! What ESP! What anticipation! Just because he’s seen this before…………..

This is another one that will always make me laugh! Bassets are just not very cute when they are possessed.

thankee thankee, mother of the scalawag, for plugging this poor little ol’ sherpa strip in Frog Applause!
