Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 10, 2008

He’s sitting, not dipping.

My DIL used to put up note around the house for me until I yelled at her to stop and ripped up the stupid signs!

Ralph isn’t skinny dipping, heck he ain’t even streaking. Matter of fact it looks like he just sitting there reading Naked Lunch.

If he wants to skinny dip, he can go forward 10 years and use Martin’s pool.

Cleo, you are lying on their heat vent, no wonder the towel is irritable!

We’re on the way to my pie shop… I figured we’d go there to post our comments on

the Oct 10th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can read on Sherpa

We were going to meet at Audrey and Ralph’s house, till Audrey told me about Ralph’s latest little…um… idiosyncrasy… and I figured some of you would be bothered.

And everybody liked the cherry pie… so we may as well go to the source.

BTW… several of you asked about Oregon cherries…. I’m using them right now cos they’re very good, and available fresh.

I’m sure other places have great cherries too…. but remember, these are red pie cherries… not table cherries like Bing, nor yellow, like Royal Ann.

Oh my.. I see that towel is still suffering.

Do you think maybe he’s hanging on an irritating dowel?

That might give anybody…. er…. any… um… towel…. a syndrome.

That towel had better be careful or risk getting flushed down the toilet, and getting stuck in the sewer line.

towels can’t be trusted.

they’re terrible driers

Where’s the in-house pool?

That’s one terrible towel.

I should have realized this was coming………but, I didn’t until the last panel. Good one!

Like Perky, I too, didn’t see this coming! I was all caught up reading what those two sweet darlings were saying, and didn’t think ahead. I LOVE this one! Groan, groan, groan! (and no towels were harmed in the making of this cartoon, I’ll bet)

Nighthawks: gleefully squeezing the life out of every pun.

Cute!!! Is it a coincidence, 2 cartoons “jiving” & ten years apart!!!

Next week: A monk complains about the hood on his cassock…

What’s the problem? He’s skinny-reading.
