Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 19, 2008

Yer way up there in the husband ratings, Bobby boy.

Maybe that’s Smilin’ Bob.

Lookin’ good, Bob. Like the gold medal may be within your reach.

What a lovely looking family over on Cleo & Co. Such a heartwarming scene too, with, perhaps, a young Cleo in her favorite purplie eyeshadow foreground left. Although Uncle Roy there on the right looks a tad spooked by something. Perhaps something gaining on our photographer?

Keep it up Bob! Public opinion can change in a moment.

A regular Norman Baswell portrait! I love the teen bassetts and their awkwardness. Glad to see some fruit on the table; there is more to life than kibble! (My dogs love apples and bananas).

And who knew bassets could use straws. I expected to see little water dishes by each place setting.

Now Bob’s on the way to Norma’s house to see if he scores there too.

Hi all….

Welcome to yet another warm, family Thanksbasset dinner…

on the Nov 19th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Join us on Sherpa:

I get the feeling they’re a bit freaked about having us looking in, though.

Don’t worry, pups, we’re not after your kibble!

We’re having our own big feast…. well, at least, the lucky ones among us… on Thursday. I think most of us can wait for that.

Today we’re going over to Lucille and Bob’s for sandwiches and cookies and tea, while we discuss this lovely rendition of your dinner.

Lucille and Bob have been such a happy couple for 43 yea…. um…. what was that?

X_Tech!…. I hope you don’t mean what I …

I… I mean… you do mean he’s helping Norma with… um… her plumbing… no… not her plumbing….

her leaf raking, or something?

That had better be what you mean… if Bob knows what’s good for him.

Otherwise… he’s going to be eating a lot of dry kibble.

And his numbers will plummet.

They’re waiting for us. They want to know what we brought for dessert.

My middle name is Bob. Do I get a 9.6 too?

My Favorite Parts® were that RED collar, RED lipstick, and RED star earring.

P.S. The RED star is a symbol of communism. What you trying to tell us, @nighthacks? Cleo is a commie? Alger Hiss is getting ready to carve the kibble? Cleo’s new catchphrase is, “Bassets of the World, unite”? Two-legged Bolshevik bad, four-legged Bolshevik good?

I am glad t see the Kitty shaped-flavoured Kibble is not everyone’s favourite!!!

Welcome back Alexikakos! (we thought the Canadian authorities euthanized you after you came down with that bad case of covfefe‽)

I want to see them carve the kibble in this week’s animation.

Ratings aren’t everything. Be your own man.

That’s quite spread to go on a lot waist lines.

Nice Thanksgiving celebration for the doggies.

In the Nov 19th 2018 “CLEO and COMPANY” that Kibble looks more like roast Garfield. Tell me it ain’t so.

What a lovely Thanksgiving dinner. So glad the whole family is there. I have this uncontrollable urge to name them: there’s Bashful, Doc, and Dopey, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy.
