Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 14, 2008

And they look very unhappy…

That’s great! Every bar should have that every day.

if you watch carefully, most do.

It’s usually later at night though.

Oh my, is this really Ballard Street? I suspect that those who want to squabble go across the ship canal to Fisherman’s Terminal, you can always find some fisherfolk disgruntled with their catch. After 6, everybody is cool.

Cleo can’t hear you, Claude. Besides, if Cleo can blow squirrels and cats away, how can you expect her to stop?

That’s what happens when you’ve had too much joy juice.

That’s the Binford 6100 Leaf and Rodent Blower. It’s got more power.

To the above comic: That’s another Accountant’s Society Meeting down the tubes!

That evil cat up the street will not put up with this. He’ll be outside tonight meowing and keeping everybody awake.

It’s past my bedtime….

and unless you’re a new visitor (in which case, this is for you! )….

you’ve already found and are commenting on

the new Nov 14th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

I’m too tired to say much…. but wow! Cleo blew me away!

Instead of rainin’ cats and dogs… it’s a-blowin’ cats and squirrels….

and just as leaf blowers just put the leaves in the neighbor’s yards….. somebody’s gonna be very annoyed by a new treeful of squirrels.

Meanwhile… I wonder why that bar has Unhappy Hour from 4 to 6….

maybe they want to catch the moody patrons who snarl about all the Happy Hours elsewhere at that time….

But I’d think they’d do better to move it to, say, 9 to 11 pm, for the disappointed ones who struck out, earlier, and now are moving on to heavy drinking.

@nighthacks Nobody draws the rear end of a cat the way you draw the rear end of a cat.

(and I mean that with all the sincerity you’d expect from a guy with an assumed fake name using the comment section of one cartoon to comment on a different cartoon).

Instead of Deadeye Dick, I may start calling you Redeye Rick.

Somebody turn off the wind machine!!!

Our Cleo is so accomplished! She not only shoots bazookas, fights that evil cat in full body armor, now we can add the Super Blow 10,000 to her arsenal.

This ’toon would do well for the Nine Differences…..I can see it now…..this ole gal would be measuring the sound waves, counting leaves, and checking out cat butts.

Cleo says, ’I’m blowing away the leaves for you, Claude, and the cats and squirrels for me.’

Tim Taylor was the first thing that came to mind.

I just have to make one more comment. and this is it.
