Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 04, 2011

Was he washed out to sea?

Uh oh.

The foolish man planted his easel by the sea,and the waves came tumbling down.

This is your six o’clock Action News…… live from Brighton, July 17th, 1827…

Ohh…Sorry, we seem to have lost our video feed….

I love water colours.

Looks like a self-portrait to me.

Poor guy’s had a brush with Poseidon…!

I’m having Far Side flashbacks.

Dangerous seascape!

The artist had captured the essence of the wave

and, in turn, the wave “captured” him/her..

Performance art at it’s best!

(The fisherman behind him said ’hey Bubba ya better

move………..nevermind)

He left out the great white…………….

This strip is getting as bad as Bliss!

that’s one strong easel!

VERY realistic painting!

Yeah, comicnut, kinda grabs ya, doesn’t it?

And I agree with Marg. Actually Bliss has been getting broader lately, kind of more accessibly funny instead of obscure.

me 2 – nada

@Miserichord and rabbitrose —

LOL! Sorry you guys — no significance at all.

I just wanted it to sound like a news feed.

The beaches on the American West Coast (where I live) are kinda rough, so I said Brighton, then made up a date in the lifetime of English landscape painters like Constable.

Lotta thought for a not very funny joke that apparently only confused people.

LOL…….. I try.Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.

I’m up early and beat Tigressy here today. The link to mad antics on Cleo et al. https://cleoandcompany.net/november-4-2021/

That’ a fast painter! – We’d need one of those for our flat.

Meanwhile, waiting for Nighthawks:
