Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 22, 2009

Once burned, twice cautious, eh?

Little did they know that the tank was filled with nitrous and Uncle Bosco really didn’t care.

My first thought Oh BOY!

Second thought “If he kicks off his shoes can he play that thing?”

Uncle Bosco is known for tooting his own horn. Even if he no longer has those Bosco lips he was known for,

OMG, Stel! Did Cleo have to shed her caninity for this role? Or is it all done with lights and cameras? Spooky either way.

Hi, everybody!

OK, tonight I’ll share…

We can all comment here on StelBel’s beautiful poster….

it’s the Jan 22nd  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

on Sherpa…

I remember this one… a classic Art Doggo poster, for an iconic Fritzy Langbasset film.

It might even be the earliest full length science fiction film…. far ahead of its time.

A dystopian future, heroic dogs rising up against their dependence on machines….

the ideas were later revisited many times, but this film helped invent the genre.

Dennis, don’t worry… I don’t believe that’s Cleo.

The only credited female I see on the poster is Biscuit Hound…

but she played a love interest…

I believe that inside the robot costume on the poster is an uncredited actress who played The Machine Dog….

and a what a heavy costume it is, rather than a transformation via makeup.

The humans tried to do this too, you know….

but look how their so-called “Machine Man” lacked the grace and charm of the basset robot….

I have an idea…. instead of going to someone’s house….

lets all go catch this revival at the Bassetplex IV.

That way we won’t have to hear Uncle Bosco at all.

OK, I called the theater …..

I can get us all discount tickets to the 2nd matinee.

And for $2, a special snack tray that includes a hot dog, a small soda, a small kibblecorn, and your choice of candy bar.

Who’s coming?

Great to see you here yesterday, StelBel!

Thanks for the likes.

Don’t be a stranger… in fact, I’ll save you a seat at the Bassetplex.

And he’s okay with that. He’s become quite the loner.

Cleo looks more like a canine Darth Vader.

Clevelandoplis is actually a remake of the Rotty Tailwagger classic, “Muttropolis.”

Assume this movie wasn’t a talkie? Maybe a walkie? Or a situpie? playdeadie? (I could go on and on).

P.S. This comment is actually a remake from August 3, 2007.

P.S. My favorite character was Hindlick Georgie, the Guardian of the Kibble Machine"
