Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 30, 2012

Lousy goldern minnow buckets!

She always shoots his ideas full of holes.

Hey her hair isn’t blue.

At least, not at midnight thirty.

Just got to the salon and put my stuff away… long day…. Finally heading over to the Tiki for a yak steak and a foot rub…. if the Monkey is still awake.

Are you, Monkey?

Then back to the salon again to sleep….

and if my new machine is delivered on time, everybody stop by in the afternoon for cotton candy….

or at least to help me figure out how to make it…

Oh — and Hallford, or Happy, whatever you’re called today :)

Oh my…. that’s an old picture of FifiDoodle…one of my earliest haircolor models. Thanks for the flashback!That was the 2007 color line, long before x_Tech developed my twinkling colors.

What a sweet girl she was to work with….retired now…but never a shred of the sort of ego displayed by certain not-to-be-named poodles today.

Sure, she’s a bit chunky next to …you-know-who….but…wow, what she’d put up with for a Milkbone.

Now she’s just baiting him.

Yep,hook, line, and sinker.

What a Klutz! I think a stack of tiddly winks could take him down!

She set him up. Look at that grin.

Who stole all the colors? And, whoever did: ALL the purple belongs to BALLARD ST.!!!!!!!

(lack of color is certainly disconcerting. I feel very compelled to get the markers out and color it in…)

@ x_Tech

beviek can have that house, but she’s NOT getting that bed!

Hey, who sucked all the color out?

♪♫Thanks!♪ Got it!♪♫

re: the comic

Can someone please explain to me the sequence of events that happened here? It actually doesn’t make much sense to me (not that there’s much sense here….).

StelBel uses those erasable, eatable crayons.

Is it?… IS IT? YES! YES I’m back thank you Gocomics>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Welcome bacK to the REAL you !

We can color while we eat! I think that chair there would be pretty in teal.

ZZzzzzzz ….hmmm. …(smile)…. zZz zzzzzzzzzz ….

(It’s interesting that I’m seeing both your names right now. Usually, once people change their user names +/or their avatars, the change is reflected on every comment they’ve ever posted. I wonder if the “Toranga” name will change to the "Redk --

Oh, wait! Is it because you had a totally separate account before and you usedthe same avatar picture on both? That would make sense…)

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Looks like the old bait and switch to me.

You should see what she can do with a ball peen hammer….(or is that a bald bean hammer?) @ cleoandcompany.net

Animation Friday! Hello frens!

Smile! It makes people wonder what you’ve been up to. (((((HuGz!)))))

I confess that my first impression was that they were sitting poolside. Which had me wondering why anyone would even have a minnow bucket handy, let alone actually use it.

Claude isn’t the only one with the legally bad puns:
