Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 31, 2015

Paul may have made the mistake of saying “let’s go to the Tiki and get hammered.”

“Why go all that way?”, thinks Cecil.

Obviously that wasn’t his funny bone.

Cecil likes pain, for other people,. I hope he enjoys the harmonious hospitality of Ballard City Jail and Dry Goods Store.

I just found out they put Cecil in the “Nut Case” section of the Jail, Humph, I knew it!

Cecil’s dog Muffin takes after her Master. They’re comin’ to get you Muffy!

They sent Cecil to see a Shrink, that didn’t go well tho……

Bev… Just made a big batch.Did you want a double?

Shirley, Cecil’s sister, is not immune from the family predilection…

Check it out……….Bloom County 2015 just came out!

I’ve only known two Cecil’s and they were both inharmonious. Maybe it’s the name. Great past Ballard Street comics to go with this one. Beviek – that Twitter, Facebook, etc ad is something else! Good comments today!

Beany that Cecil!

At least it did not come down on his head.

I have a question which I am posting at a couple of the comic strips. I wrote to gocomics some time back and of course, THEY NEVER answered me. There is comic strip in the REGULAR line-up called “The Comic Strip That Has a Finale Every Day”. Of course it has a finale every day, because it’s THE SAME STRIP every day! And it is done by purpose and intent. What irks me is all the EXCELLENT SHERPA strips still sitting at Sherpa that should be in the regular line-up instead of this garbage! How in the world do they pick the lineup? They sure don’t use common sense or what their customers want, do they?

Doesn’t Dr. Bob know a ball-peen hammer when he sees one? Perhaps the dominant narrative was on spelling.

I like those Twitter etc. ads, Bev. Could they see into the future back in the 1950’s? ;-)

Cecil’s namesake greatly influenced Cecil to be inharmonious.

Hi Happy.

No one thought of “If I had a Hammer”?How was your weekend Happy?

Hammered Dulcimar

For reasons known only to their marketing department, the El Paso Chihuahuas (AAA baseball team) held a dachsund race to determine the fastest “wiener dog” in town. Though she was not the winner, one little pooch, who appears to be part greyhound, decided to take the opportunity to do her best Snoopy impression and run all over the field. She was stopping for no man. https://youtu.be/tRrib8eMFQA

Wow, Bev… I didn’t realise you’d been “Madame” Beviek for quite so long….
