Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 27, 2008

Then Nancys’ maiden name must have been Echo.

They know their Greek mythology!

The life of a politician’s wife…

Whoosh over Claude’s head.

Hi Dennis… and everybody on the way!

And all of you “lookers-on”, who occasionally “like” a comment but never (or sometimes seldom) post one of your own.

Come on in!

You’re very welcome to put in a word, yourself, about

the Dec 27th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

Which , of course, we’re all reading on Sherpa

Cleo, Cleo…. I don’t wanna say you’re a spoiled little doggie….

well, I do want to say that, but I won’t, cos…..

um…. well, cos you’re a good girl….. uh huh…..

and I notice that you’re actually not all that little, and … cos…. you…. um…. just might have an RPG.

Niiice doggie.

 

But really, you ought to be a little grateful….

I mean, who buys your food and ammo?

And at least this sweater doesn’t seem to have any garish colors or twinkling lights on it.

 

Say, gang…. when we get to Ted and Nancy’s house….

Pretty please…. shh… just between us….

say something, if you can, about how nice Nancy looks tonight…. and don’t go exclaiming over all the photos and posters of Ted hanging everywhere.

I just brought over 3 apple pies… Nancy’s making what she calls her special midwinter chicken soup, with lots of vegetables and potatoes.

A cure for what ails ya.

Ted! Ted! He’s our man. If he can’t do it, no one can!

I see Cleo in a long return line.

Cleo should have put the sweater on. If she had done that, she would have found the gift cards for 5, one hundred pound bags of kibble that Claude put in the sweater.

 

To aid the visual interpretation of Cleo’s sarcastic intent and enhance the overall Sherpa experience I have scored today’s C&C thusly:

I’m having problems with this. GoComics was fine until I got to Ballard Street. I cant read the comments on today’s. I get the top half of the 1st two panels of Cleo and Company and then it goes to a blank square. I even left it and went to take a shower and it’s still that way. I’m sure it was a very good one! I’m glad it’s not the new year – I don’t want it to start that way.

Hey gang, I am currently visiting my family in Phoenix Arizona this week. It is sort of way I’ve been detached from my usual harassing comments. Also I noticed that the car tonight intended for Wednesday did not show up. So it looks like Stel put one of hers on there and I’m grateful. So, thanks Stel!
