Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 30, 2009

I’ll rip out their lamp post! That’ll teach ‘em!

Looks like her poor husband is used to it.

As usual, beautiful artwork, Jerry.

Now Gwyn, you don’t want to get electrocuted, do you? Especially not by the Spivey’s!

Perry just tries to protect the dog from her tantrums.

That Greta Garbone is such a seductress! Who would not fall for her ruby lips, her garnet nails, her – dare I say it? – PURPLIE eyeshadow.

She’s going down.

That was an okay movie, but I preferred Ninotchka.

Welcome, all, once again….

to the comments for “CLEO and COMPANY”….

Today, another lovely poster by StelBel, in the

April 30th  2019 strip.

It’s on Sherpa

And wow… it’s Mata Hari!

Greta Garbone looks so beautiful!

With her lovely gossamer wisps of costume…

…. beautiful job, Stel… kudos to both (cough) the costume designer and to you! ….

her come-hither lowered lids enhanced by …um… what Dennis said….

she’s a true femme fatale… in the tradition of Mata Hari herself.

And Ramon Nov-arrooo… oooooo…… ooooooooo….

Yes, he was a dog…..

and way before my time, thank-you-very-much….

But what a heartthrob. I’d take him for a walk any time.

I couldn’t find a poster for a human version that incorporates all the detail of Stel’s work…

which must be too complex for their lesser talents to steal….

I did find this, which I believe uses part of it….

and the rest of Stel’s artistry seems to be unique, as we knew it would be.

You know, my father could never stand Greta Garbone.

I don’t know why…. or whether it was actually her looks, as he claimed, or something she supposedly did….

but he always called her Greta Garbage.

Just think how much he would have disliked her human counterpart.

Um… about Perry, above.

In all his years of dealing with Gwyn’s shenanigans…

probably reaching out many times to pull her out of trouble…

His arm seems to have growwnnn…. long and flexible enough to feature in an Alfred Hitchdog story.

Yikes!

(pssssst – don’t tell that meme shaming perky you-know-who, but my favorite parts were matacleo’s daring pasties, risque flash of bellybutton and …… (wait for it) …… ᴘᴜʀᴘʟɪᴇ* eyelids)

* !!!

P.S. Where is Perry’s left arm below the elbow and what is it doing?

Great headgear on both Gretas.

Wow! That is still a great poster, Stel O’Bel. But, the only thing I could think of was:

“She’s got rings on her fingers

And bells on her toes

Has anybody seen my

Sweet gypsy Rose?"

I think Susan and Rotifer are both having trouble interpreting today’s Ballard St. — Perry’s left hand is on his hip, it’s Gwyn’s left arm wrapped around the lamppost…

Hi! Miss me?

Back…ish.

Was staying at a friends house while the movers came this week.

Will update when I get my computer back online… I type 65wpm+ on a keyboard. 8 on the phone.

Still on the green side of the grass.
