Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 10, 2010

Cut his allowance to cover the cost of a new shirt…

Whoa! Dog with ‘tude! Quick, call Victoria Stilwell!

Rename “Little Smitty” to ”Old Yeller’!

@margueritem, forget the shirt, how about that nasty puncture wound on his back from the impaled pipe?

I think that it’s best that he share the couch with Smitty. This is the third dog on couch strip that I have read today.

Hey it’s winter, too cold to sleep on the floor…

I love the way Jerry composes his panels and colors … Fabulous !

Today the couch, tomorrow… The bed!

to see today’s Cleo and Company animation, go here:

Little Smitty is a piece of work, and very territorial! Perry, keep your butt in your own seat!

Nighthawks, Stel, is this a new one? Whatever, it is a good one! Funny, I have Star Trek playing on the tube while I read this. Those Cling-ons are pretty scary! But Spot could have used anti-cling fabric softener to combat these little devils.

Wow… this is fantastic….

In the the Jan 10th  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Basset Trek is back on the air… or in space… or both….

in any case… with a few slight changes….

Starship Kibble has resumed its mission.

Yay!

Welcome everybody….

Glad to see we have a few more readers…

Hi MissScarlet…. and I noticed CatStaff has been lurking… (no, not X-ray vision…. from your “likes”, thank you)… and Roaming has been back….

Glad Happy3 and GerardD have been sticking around…. and Hooligan?

And all of you… including the usual faithful!

Dennis… you may be remembering Episode 1….

I believe today’s is Episode 2…. and it’s been a long time coming.

But worth the wait!

Two questions for Mr. Spot…. “How did you know there would be Cling-on Cats before you landed? And in what way are they evil?”

Cos they seem kinda cute…. and many nice cats are kinda clingy…

Anyway…. I think the can opener would be more humane than anti-cling fabric spray….

a positive instead of a negative… that is, the promise of food, rather than just giving them the boot…

if it weren’t just a recording, meant to fool them.

Poor kitties.

Sorry I couldn’t make it last night….

the poster was beautiful, Stel!

Ingenious, Mr. Spot!

@Nighthawks Fabulous artwork again.

But Slurp didn’t take his shirt off… Maybe next time?

Red-shirts! Cute Kibbles! Irresistible green-furred bitches with magical tears!

All three of them better check to make sure none of the Cling-on cats hid in their suits. Maybe they should have teleported the cling-on cats to a Portly Person and had them cling on him until he got Cleo back where she belongs. They can have everything moved from Sherpa to the main page.

My Favorite Part™ was FIN

(j/k – Best … Basset Trek … Ever)

Can’t wait for Bassett Wars.

Well and truly done folks.

Although Cleo and Company has been banned, at least we can rest easy knowing that ‘Portly Cartoonist’ is solidly on the

main page and is a roaring success due to its quality artwork and brilliant writing

…..oh, and of course marrying the boss’s daughter helps a lot too.

Nighthawks and StelBel………this is the best animation ever! Very well done! I enjoyed your creative nonsense and LOL when the Cling-Ons showed up. Thank the heavens for the electric can opener. It saved our crew to come back another time!

ok, we’ll keep this leaky ship afloat for awhile….I have a new series (all animations) of Indiana Bones and Ark of the Kibble

I’ll run that on the next four Fridays and after that I’ll run the exciting Sam Basset detective drama The Maltese Basset

That will run for two weeks , including two animations. on the other days, Stel will still contribute and I’ll continue to

rerun some classic Cleo and Company strips.

Stay with us, we’re not ‘FIN’ yet! We’ll continue to hang out here until they find out about this and squash it

I decided to go to 12 Maple Street and have some pancakes while I go where no basset has gone before.
