    I wonder if that’s Nelson’s tongue?

    Is Nelson passing by a tree without leaving a pee?

    I wonder if Nelson has a Samsung folding phone in his back pocket. If not, I think he will need a new screen.

    I think his posture is correct for this task. Hinging at the hips, per Esther Gokhale.

    Now, Nighthawks is doing posters! Or in this case comic book covers:

    (I don’t know what self respecting basset hound would go by the name of “Sparrow”)

    Oh Wow! The initial edition of BatBasset for only 10 cents! I’m gonna buy up a bunch of them and put them in a safety deposit box. In 50 years they’ll be worth a fortune!

    Hullo Cleo fans, cartoon lovers, GoComics explorers and cosmic travelers….

    that should cover most of you I expect…. oh…. and you Ballard Street time-shifters from ten years ago.

     

    This is exciting…. a new strip and a new promise…

    that is, the promise of more to come….

    as we prepare to bid adieu to September…. sigh….

    with the Sept 30th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

    Read it on Sherpa, by following Dennis’ link.

     

    Wow… I love BatBasset.

    A different sort of hero…. a lone vigilante, till Sparrow joined him…. no superpowers… although being extremely wealthy is very useful.

    An athletic physique, for a basset hound…. a great intellect…. plus a sleek car, a private cave.. fine kibbles… what a lifestyle!

     

    I suppose “Sparrow” is just a way to say he’s so agile and athletic he flips and swings and almost flies like a bird.

    He’s small and young, not yet an eagle.

     

    Farside…. um…I don’t think that’s the current price…

    I think it represents Cleo and Company Productions’ re-licensing of a very old franchise….

    and creating a new version of the character, who first appeared in 10¢ comic books.

     

    Dennis… have you tried the Gokhale method?

    Dinner dinner dinner dinner…

    Sparrow had a kibbles-problem later, but was promoted to Captain.

    He always liked to wing it…

    And hiding in the back where BatBasset can see her is Can’t-Catch-Me-Cat, arch enemy of BatBasset. All she has to do is purr and the police commissioner will do anything she wants.

    Nelson is suffering from Scooter envy.

    If Picasso had his Blue Period,

    why can’t Nighthawks have his Purplie Period?

    Susan, I have never done a training. I have read the book and attended a 2 hour workshop with Esther. I love the pictures in her book! I use her shoulder reset technique and have learned to keep my tail up moving into a sitting position. I have used the knowledge I got to inform my furniture purchases. This has been very helpful. As for standing, I have some problems. My big belly pulls me into an S-spine unless I really fight it. I can antevert my pelvis, but a little bit up the spine I cannot use her techniques to straighten it, because I cannot find the pressure points she mentions. I told her that her techniques are hard to execute for the fattys; she said I should work with a trainer directly. I have not done that.
