Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 06, 2019

O, O, O! They are celebrating being O’Neals, and why not?

I can see how that might become tiresome. But on the plus side, Ollie appears to be enjoying the fresh air and camaraderie.

I’ve always suspected their water line was hooked up to something other than the Ballard Water Dept.

O’ why not!!

They walk by and do that every day just to bug him: “Oh, Neal…”

“Someday” Neal tells himself, “I’ll find a way to get even.”

And here I thought they were zeroes.

They’re clinically insane, of course. Otherwise they’d have been ejected from Ballard Street long since.

It all started when the cops told them to keep that dog off the grass.

Wow what great neighbors! Hang on let me go get my one man band contraption on and I’ll come along.

EVERY MORNING!!! 6:45

Looks like Mr. O’Neal forgot his socks.

This comic is so tiring. I can’t just read the comments, I have to ‘like’ every one.

O’Boy, O’Neals O’verdoing O’gain…

Give me an ‘O’!

The only people who enjoy spending time with the Habners.

Somebodies took their meds this morning. Their doctor may need to cut back on the anti-depressants.

We all know them. They live down the block.

If you don’t know them, you are them.

The O’Neals aren’t so bad.

It’s the O’Dog that causes most of the problems.

BTW, I want to give a public shout out to Mr Van Amerongen and am asking readers to remember and describe your very favorite panel.

Mine is the mid 80’s when the strip The Neighborhood was running in newspapers. Before that interwebnet thingy.

Imagine the standard Van Amerongen dog. Tube body, short skinny legs, long snout.

Asleep on an oval rag rug, with a happy little smile.

The caption: Curtis dreamed of chubby little kittens on stubby little stools.

leave them alone and they’ll go home. Wagging their tails behind them.

Hope I’m that happy and vivacious at that age!

What is the holiday?

Oh oh oh… It’s magic…
