Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 16, 2010

Scooter fondly recalls the elm tree down the block…

Or a collective engaged in individual remembering?

Where’s the house?

Which way did he go, George?

I’m still trying to remember the punch line.

Great comic and comments today !

They’re gathering their thoughts.

Did they just leave, or are they just getting back?

Welcome to SusanSunshine’s Birthday Party! Of course, you still need to keep to your social distancing, as evidenced in this first birthday photo, but we can still have a great time at the Cleveland Riverside Park!

I want to wish Susan Sunshine a most Happy, Happy Birthday, and many more.

Re Ballard Street, this couple appears to be cross dressing. But enough of that, let’s get to Susan’s PAR-TEE!!

Wowee zowie!

Thank you, Stel!

This is so nice of you!

And howdy, everybody…. welcome back, Liverlips, and hi Eldo!

What am I doing here again?

Happy birthday, Susan!

And some snacks!

And some cake!!

I figured it was time to remake my famous tomato and fresh produce cake for the girl who LOVES tomatoes and fresh produce! There’s plenty foreverybody so have as much as you like! (no real veggie flavors, though….well, except for the fresh produce, which is carrot cake. The tomato cakeis a yummy fudge chocolate.)

I don’t know, if Susan wears those sparklies all the time, no wonder her internet has a hard time reaching her. They work the same way as chaff, and deflect the signal.

But to chime in with Cleo, Aroooooooo!

It’s 2:45 AM here, and wayyyyy past my bedtime! G’night all !!!

Happy Birthday, Susan! (I remembered the date anyway).

There will be better times when this http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwy&uc_full_date=20180416 will be no problem again.

On the other hand: Cleo is still a dog and needs her walkies, but the waltzing… and all dressed up… well…

Meanwhile, there’s lot you still can do indoors – like this:

The towels are sourpusses; don’t pay attention to them.

Happy Birthday, Susan! You’re like a fine wine, getting better with the passage of time…

Whee! Happy Birthday SusanSunshine!

I have never seen a comment section that was not made better by a SusanSunshine post. Happy Birthday! And may there be many even happier ones to come.

I left birthday greetings on today’s Ballard Street, but will do so again a decade ago.

Happy Birthday, SusanSunshine! You light up so many lives. We are blessed to know you.

BTW – Today is also National Eggs Benedict Day.

@StillTheBelle – Hey! You stole my schtick!

(But since you employed it for a worthy (and purplie) cause you are forgiven)

(plus you DID give me credit)

(I will be expecting a cut of the royalty check this week)

P.S. HBD, SS!

A very Happy Birthday to you, Susan! Now where is that pitcher of nanner daks?

GOOD MORNING BALLARDEERS! It’s Susan’s birthday!

Got my day off to a better start when I got to the Cleo and Co page. Party down you crazy kid!

Quarantine Day 34: Sun’s out … YAY! 26F… BOO!

Winter storm advisory for over night into tomorrow morning…. right now 3" – 5" forecast.

Yesterday morning’s snow caused a 54 car pile up going into the city. I don’t know how every car on the road got to the same place at the same time, but if anyone can do it, Chicagoland drivers can.

BE SAFE OUT THERE, please. I love my Ballardeers and want everybody here to be around a looooooooooong time. Blessings to all.

Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy!!!

Off to work now. I’ll be back later.

It’s 6:30 AM and I’m still up….

That’s crazy!

Been trying to keep up with everybody… but it’s time for BED.

THANK YOU AGAIN, NIGHTHAWKS … for the birthday comic!

And for hosting this party in your space.

And THANK YOU AGAIN, STELBEL! for all your work on this…

including but not limited to, as they say, the invitation, the lovely cake… and all that glitter.

And I must say… THANK YOU to EVERYBODY… for the birthday greetings and wishes, and the kind words…

and to those who came to Cleo just for that.

Please feel free to join us ANY TIME.

I’ll be back tomorrow to try and catch up….

but for now…… good night, everybody!

Happy Birthday Ms. Sunshine! I’m fairly new but apparently you are much-loved on GoComics!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSAN!!!

You know I’m not a night owl, so I didn’t join your party last night. So I came with a box of birthday donuts for the whole gang. (and kibble for Cleo).

What a great b’day card y’all made for Susan, Stel! The sparklies take it over the top.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN SUNSHINE! I guess you are sound asleep and hopefully having sweet dreams. Have an awesome day – you deserve it for all you do here. Thank you for all the laughs, puns and just keeping us all together.

Very cute Cleo and Company today!!

Happy birthday, Susan. I wish Gocomics had given you a great birthday present of fixing Sherpa.

I don’t know. That dog looks like a “plotter” to me.
