Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 17, 2008

I hate flying for exactly that reason!

Why do they make seats that do that, anyway?

Use the SkyMall magazine - you paid for the snack box.

This is quite the narrative Nighthawks has delivered. And people say the internet is a bad thing? I thought it was going to be Claude pushing the red button again at the outset, or maybe our kettle-drummer pushing it. I’ll bet Claude wishes he could push it NOW. For that matter, after that pun, I’ll bet Cleo wishes she could push it NOW.

The bell ringing is bad enough. Now they have to drone on and on and on???

I believe this is a new one, right Susan?

Good thing they don’t have to deal with the Salvation Navy!

Archie Bunker always referred to the Salivation Army. Cleo could be part of the Basset Auxiliary!

As for Ballard Street 2008: Yes, I feel like doing that sometimes!

If they can afford those drones, it means they have more than enough money.

My favorite part was the way that drone time-traveled from Panel 7, across Panel 6, all the way back to Panel 5.

Yahoo!!!! My memory is working again! I thought this was a new one! WooHoo!

Nice Air Force formation. Maybe they can perform at the next air show. And, did you notice the polite language our Cleo used? Good Girl.

I think if he can afford such techniques, he doesn’t need Claude’s money or mine!!!

Awe nuts!

Well, at least that Salvation Army volunteer was blocking that button that Claude’s always inclined to push.
