Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 11, 2014

You’re probably over tied, Nancy.

She’s always so well-mannered and perfectly groomed….maybe even a bit strait-laced. I didn’t think she ever had knotty thoughts.

Do we really want to know about Nancy’s kinky ideas?

X … I think KNOT!

Knotty, naughty, tomato, tomahto.

Would you like a beer while we solve this knotty problem?

I’d offer you a banana daiqiri but I know you prefer a brew.

How about some yak ribs?

And how about you, 2Old?

And 2Old… let’s leave poor innocent tomatoes out of this.

You’ll make them blush.

Hi Susan, 2old. I think I’ll have a Diamond Knot ESB tonight, thanks.

Um…. X … we might knot have that…. but let me look…..

Oh, OK…. knot a problem.

What I’ll NOT have is Blue Moon Golden Knot1

1Golden Knot* is crafted with the juice of Chardonnay grapes and 100% wheat, intertwining a touch of tartness with apple and kiwi notes.*Previously known as Vintage Blonde Ale.

You had to post that where I could read it?

It sounds horrible!Kind of a Beer-wine, or Chardon-ale, or something… with extra fruit, even…. ick!Like the leftovers from a brewery, a winery, and the Snapple factory, mixed together.

I don’t think the Monkey would allow it here…. even if he DID once try to brew what he was going to call “Bananale.”

He had the sense to pour it out… not sell it.

Nancy’s in too deep.

Nancy thinks, “I’m just not remembering names like I used to. Is my mind going? Last night I couldn’t remember Tony’s name for the longest time. I think he’s my husband. ..”

Shirley Temple BlackApril 23 1928-February 11, 2014

Rest In Peace

Shirley Temple, Stel?

Awww….But she’ll always be four years old somewhere.

Stel —

I posted a comment and a picture for you on yesterday’s toon….and I was just thinking about reposting them on today’s strip before I go to bed…..

Well… if you’ve gone, I guess I will….just to make sure you see…..

I’d said to you, wow….

Your tribute pic made me search through my boxes of old photos….

and I found it!

OMG, how did you get the guys to pose exactly like that old photo from their trip to London??They must have brought you a copy….you’re much too young to have one from then….

But they did send one to me…. and they’ve hardly changed a bit!

Well… a bit…. or maybe a little more…. but well…. he hair and all…..but still…..

See?… that was then…and this is how you posed them yesterday… I see they’d saved SOME of the clothes….but …. sigh…. not the hair….

And now…. g’night, all….or g’morning, East Coasters.I’ve already stayed almost as late as Fenton!

Nancy is a deep thinker… Knot!

She keeps doing that she is going to bruise her brain.

Bananale….. reely SuSun…???yew promissd yood never menshun thet agin….!!!

Nancy is a knot head.I’m headed for The Good Ship Lollipop.RIP STB

Nancy never should have signed up for that evening lecture series, “Tangle Theory: the Pretzel Link.” It was knot, as she had expected, another cozy cooking class with the girls.

Shame on you beviak ; ) my hubby nearly spit coffee on me while watching “Revenge of the Mail-cat” over my shoulder!

No don’t!!! It’s those knots that made me what I am toda

Shirley Temple was going to be the original Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz but she was owned by a different company and they would not let her do it so they went with Judy Garland and a very tight chest strap to make her look young pre puberty way.Leads to a good conversation……who would have made the better Dorothy…Temple or Garland???? I know Temple could dance and sing but she looked so mechanical to me and lacked the real empathy that Garland showed in the movie. This one could attribute to differences in ages Garland being the older more trained actress where Temple was still a child still building her emotional library.

One thing for certain. This forum is eclectic…

@Bev, Did your parents also make you take lessons in tap and ballet dancing? Mine did my hair similarly (though it was never that abundant). Here with 2 cousins in about 1942: I’m just glad that Fox and 20th Century had that merger when they did, so my dad never got the movie contract he had agreed to.

My life has been quite crazy enough, thanks! And I agree with Veteran that Judy was a much better actress. Shirley was never anything but herself (as is clear in her acceptance speech posted above). But like most child stars, Judy was SO messed up!

in teh voice of Ahnold“dont be ah Nahncy Boy…. its knot ah toomah!!”

Night all…

So that’s where Cleo got her behavior from.
