“Refreshing”? He gets worse?

ACK! MY EYES! MY EYES!

Two FC at once and you’ll be sacharin-comatose in the morning. Actually, you put de lime in de coconut, with some 151, and thisw looks pretty amusing.

Margueritem - There is a cure. Take two Family Circus and call me in the morning.

FC is overly sweet, Doc, and that’ll make me grind my teeth all night. I’ll substitute 2 Cul de Sacs. I’ve taken those before, and there have been no unwelcome side effects.

That 151 works wonders.

A good shirt that fits over those “shoulder pads?” Do the slacks coordinate with that, hm, hoop skirt? Hopefully we will never see Gil fully dressed.

Oh, Stel! What a beautiful, shimmering poster! Thank you for a Christmas treat!

Well the nut part fits the bill.

Speaking of nuts…

The title would have been NutKibble, except for a minor lawsuit that “alleged” that Nutbiscuit had been shown already in some “off DesMoines” theaters.

Well hi, everybody!

Look what we’ve got tonight!

In case you’re new here…. we’re visiting Corky and Gil today…. having some refreshments, and posting our comments on

the Dec 20th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

And it’s a brand new and shiny poster by StelBel!

Thanks, Stel!

Take a look at it on Sherpa….

Wow…. so much glitter!

Stel must have gotten her new shipment from XTI!

(We both like to use XTI glitter cos not only is it super sparkly, it’s edible….

so if we accidentally get some in our coffee, while we’re discussing it, it’s OK.)

Anyhow, what a nice little doggy, gracefully holding both that heavy tree and a sword…

probably a talented young dancer, cos, though I haven’t seen this film, it’s usually a ballet, and there’s a lot of competition for those roles.

Not Cleo, cos it’s a tan pup… and if Cleo were in it, she’d probably insist on playing Clara.

(And don’t tell her, but I don’t really think that would be a great idea.)

Every time I look at this poster, I hear the music….

Ooooh….

I love to see the Nutbiscuit at Christmas!

Dum dum da dum dum, da dah!

Hey…. they made a human copy…

What a homely fellow, to replace that adorable dog!

Sometimes I just can’t understand casting decisions.

And the colors…. not half so pretty!

Speaking of ballet costumes…. we, we kinda were…

I think Gil is going to change into a plaid shirt and slacks for us….

much to Corky’s relief….

rather than try to squeeze his pointy epaulets (?) and lampshade tutu under them.

In any case…. no worries…. he’s harmless.

For a few thousand bucks there’s a laser surgery clinic in Fayettenam that can take care of that moustache, Cleo.

Sparklies! love it.

Speaking of glitter. There’s a glitter bomb that’s taking revenge on package thieves.

It’s 11 minutes long and shows how he built it. It’s rocket science.

Yes, Sparklies!! I much prefer Nutbiscuits to Nutcrackers.

What a neat poster, Stel!!!! I think you have outdone yourself with this one!

I think nutbiscuits are one of my all time favorite Christmas decorations. And to think they made a movie all about them, too. Did that Tchaikovsky fellow write the music? I hear they have a Rock version of this, too.

Oooh! Sparkly! Thanks Stel!
