Now that’s what I call “barking up a tree”.

who is chasing who?

Poor Rufus, so near and yet so far…

Hi Susan, can I get a…

Sure X … and I won’t even ask you what you want for…. a… chaser….

Luckily Fat Squirrels don’t run too fast anyway…

Hmm… that reminds me…. tonight’s special is a nice big bowl of Brunswick stew…

Yak! We make it with yak!What else would it be?

Stop apologizing and control it.

That dog looks like he is part Tasmanian Devil (the Bugs Bunny one, of course)

Hi LadyKat!

Sorry I didn’t see you….I’ve been working in the back.

Can I get you a banana daiquiri?

Or how about a Fat Squirrel Ale and a bowl of Brunswick stew? Not that they go together for any reason….

I’ve got to get home to bed….

But Bev, I keep forgetting to thank you for not complaining about the… um… the glitter…. accident..

And I’m glad I could tone it down to a reasonable brightness…

More or less.

I mean, you know…. glitter is good…and you asked for extra and the Monkey paid for extra extra….and who knew that special new XTI formula was so strong…

It did get a little out of hand…

It just kinda… well…. “snowballed” might be a good word for it….

But it’s OK now… isn’t it?Bev?

My aunts toy poodle Bailey growled and barked at a squirrel once. Then the squirrel burped…….

This one reminds me of the movie “UP”.

Squirrel….“That’s okay, its not my tree.”

Monkey!

I’m so glad you… er… like it…I mean… you like it???Yeah, I guess it does cover up a multitude of…. welllll… everything…doesn’t it?

hay!!! Luks lak Diggerz goin afTUr thet skwerel…!!!Kwik rockY…!!! ShoweM yer NUTZ!!!!

o..O

Uh… right, Sheriff … he IS nuts…that’s what you meant…. didn’t you?

pcolli…. well, you could be right…but I’m hoping it’s not really a leak.

Normally it’s a small jet that dispenses a fine sprinkling of finishing glitter, after all the other glitter has been applied separately to hair, lips, eyelashes, nails, etc.I recently received a shipment of the new MeteorSpark657 color-changing glitter with TurboGlow, expertly formulated to my specifications at XTI….It was, coincidentally, the same day the XTI technical crew was here installing my new XTIPowerBlast3700 glitter spray nozzle.I kept it turned down to the “Gentle Whisper” setting, really I did…but perhaps the combo is a bit…. uh… forceful….They’re coming back out to check the installation….I guess they should also check for a leak.

Fireman….little monkeys…I think Bev will be in soon….

She’s going to need some quiet, and some soothing music….and a big Margarita….

That’s sweet, little monkey…but I think she wants the Fireman to serve it….and …well…without a banana in it.

Thanks, though.

I agree with SUSAN. DIGGER JUST SNAPPED AT THE SQUIRREL’S TAUNTNG,

sorry about the caps. I forgot to turn them off.

Good Night Ballard Dears.

It did get a little out of hand…

It just kinda… well…. “snowballed” might be a good word for it….

But it’s OK now…isn’t it?Bev?-——

Bev? Bev? You still in there? Can you see SUSAN? See SUSAN run!

this is great. I don’t remember any cartoonist doing such a good job on a squirrel from behind. You must do some great other stuff.

Soft to understand?!?
