Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 02, 2009

Hands and kness would be much faster….

Another hard day at the office dear?

I sooo understand the feeling.

Why bother with dragging yourself? Just lay on the lawn until Scooter comes by and ties your shoes together.

That’s tough, especially with a briefcase in one hand. Aaron must have some tough lawn grass. I might suggest more efficient ways to get to the front door, but then, this is Ballard Street.

It’s a Monday and a holiday, will Nighthawks regale us with a new Cleo and Company? Find out at

Paws? She’s got four of them, didn’t you notice?

On your mark. Get set. Go!

She’s a rebel and she’ll never be any good…

Happy Labor Day…. if anyone says that…. honorary Clevelanders (and any real Clevelanders who might be here)…

This is NOT an OK to wear a white belt and white shoes (known in some circles as “a full Cleveland”)…

it’s an invitation to read and comment on the Sept 2nd  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

Which Dennis already linked to, above, on Sherpa.

 

Hey… whatcha mean, Claude?

Cleo’s a rebel with FOUR paws.

Every one of them busy piling up armaments with which to attack some unsuspecting creature or contraption.

 

And what to we get from the most indulgent pair of pet-parents ever to replenish their dog’s supply of missiles?

A concerned look…. maybe a tad….

A firm command to stop, or sit, or lie down? Nope.

How about at least a “Confound it, Cleo!”?

Apparently not.

Carry on, Cleo.

 

Aaron, I feel you.

Especially after another few sweltering days of well over 90° weather…

every one of which was predicted, by some well-paid weather prognosticator, and less than 12 hours before peak temperature, to have a coming high in the mid 80’s.

Do they lie, on purpose, to give us hope, and quench despair?

Or are they just that bad at the jobs they are so richly remunerated to perform?

 

Anyway, I hope when he gets inside the door, the carpet has long enough pile for decent grabbing and propulsion.

 

And it goes without saying, but I hope no squirrels or cats were harmed in the aftermath of today’s Cleo cartoon.

Wait till Claude gets the $50,000 bill for all that stuff. It won’t just be the TNT that explodes. And what about the evil cat who is hiding in the tree and waiting for Cleo to walk by and have 10 pounds of cat poop dropped on her?

Rebels Have No Respect For Laws

I’m a Rebel From Arkansas

Do Sherpan’s contracts have an Arbitration Clause?

Gotta love the weaponry Cleo comes up with. Definitely has coyote genes in there somewhere.

There have been days I could relate to Aaron’s situation. Of course, that was another lifetime ago.

It’s Monday, and yes, Dennis, we have a NEW Cleo! This is great, Nighthawks! I can hear Cleo’s grumbling all the way up here. (Hey, Cleo, we have a squirrel problem. They’re eating all the poor birdies’ bird seed. Can you just bark at them for us…..no TNT please.)

After all that work, Cleo needs a pause that refreshes.

I’m with her on the drones.

But first – could she please take care of those (censored) motorized scooters?!?

Yes; they’ve become a pest here in Munich already – and it’s only been a few months.

Quick drop in to say Hello Balladeers, Miss Susan and Plods. Hope you are all well and had a nice holiday for those in the US who celebrate Labor Day.
