Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 21, 2009

Wonder what they’re intervening in?

Overeating maybe? I love the dogs toes:)

You can tell that they’ve done this before.

Had to do that to clip my dogs toenails, or give him shots when he was a puppy. 6-month old giant dog….

Scary

Looks like “cross species ultimate cage fighting”

Neighbors are now calling the cops…..

Hi, everybody!

We’re here to comment on

the August 21st  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

it’s on Sherpa

And since the Monkey said he might make an announcement here tonight…. I have one to make too….

Today is his birthday!

Which makes it the 8th anniversary of his election as Ballard Country Sheriff…. and our very first Ballard Street birthday party, as well.

Hope you do stop by, Monkey….

and that everybody will raise a glass with me to say

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHERIFF MONKEYBLUES!

Meanwhile…. if the advice is about birth control, Cleo….

I don’t think Claude is gonna need it any more….

It’s those irrepressible McCullys! When they do an intervention, they seriously intervene. You can see that Sparky is no pushover. He has Cyrus off-kilter and Sarah looking for leverage.

Pretty sure you’ll never get your sawyer’s certification that way, Claude.

A Pyrrhic victory on Sparky.

The Mme. Deuxcouleur on the wall is so agitated, it perfectly reflects the discord in the McCully family. I have never seen another one like it!

Is that what you call it? It looks more like a mugging.

I can’t look anymore.

For the faint of heart: Of course Claude’s wearing cut-proof safety-trousers.

He is. Of course he is. Is he?!?

Hey Sherif! Happy Birthday!

Looking forward to those complimentary banana daqs at the Tiki tonight!

Ooops… seventh anniversary…. but what’s an extra year or two among friends?

If only I could show some of you the August 21st 2012 comments forum the way it was, before October 2016, when GoComics removed all the pictures and links….

and before some of the commenters left GoComics and/or were banned.

Doesn’t make a lot of sense now, with probably 150 posts reduced to about 50.

And yes… I know Claude doesn’t need birth control advice anyway…. and whatever would grab his attention is in order.

In fact, Cleo…. why don’t you yell “FIRE!”…. like… you know…. Tommy Smothers did.

At least Claude might look up.

Wait…. maybe he needs to look down…

As for the McCullys…. I have no idea what they don’t want Sparky to do….

But what I  don’t want to do is have my nose where Cyrus has his.

And Cellardoor… even if that service were ever performed on dogs… which I doubt…. I’d think Sparky is bit old for it.

Why didn’t Cleo tell Claude to put gas in the chainsaw? Also, why didn’t she get video? It would have gotten billions of views and a lot of people would have wanted to buy that chainsaw to put in their collection. And in 20 years when they finally fix Sherpa, maybe they will put all the past comments and pictures on the past comics. Or are both of those things something that will never happen?

nut-cutting time

A point in time in which extreme, drastic, or decisive action is required; a period, usually near the end of an endeavor, when pressure to succeed is most intense; crunch time.

Yup. It’s an old joke, but I’m an old guy and it’s still phunnie.

Looks like Cleo is the only smart one here.

Some “toys” don’t belong in Claude’s toy box!

& the winner is~~~~~~~~~!!!

Oh noooooo!
