Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 11, 2015

You were born to wear that hat, Gary.

Bev and I don’t have polkadot shirts, but we manage to look fetching nonetheless. Right?

@beviekI tried following all the instructions you nicely posted for uploading images found on the web and on your computer (using redkid). I feel like a big, fat failure. Nothing is uploading. I checked my spaces, and all the quotes and everything. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Please sprinkle some magic dust on me or something.

Sandboil…

Sounds like what you’re trying to do is post a picture … that is, put it on a forum for all to see.

I’m not trying to be a stickler…it’s just that if you’re getting terms confused, it could be that the instructions would confuse you, based on incorrect terms. Maybe not…. just a thought…. but it happens all the time.

So…. though you may already know…if a picture is already on the web, you don’t need to “upload” it, just post it.

Uploading is how you put a picture from your computer, where no one can access it, onto a site like Redkid or Photobucket, to give it a web address, so you can post it.

Anyway…. it’s very late at night right now…but tomorrow I can probably help you if you try again to post a picture, and leave your post up, even if it fails, so I can see where the code went wrong.

It’s best not to annoy people on a current forum with failed attempts, so the best thing is to go back a day or two, or however long you like, make your attempt, then come back to Ballard St and tell me where you did it… ie, what strip and the date.

I’ll go there and tell you what I see.I’m on the west coast, on pacific time, and also keep very late hours…. just keep that in mind and be patient, please.

I do think it’s only fair to mention, though, that as far as I know, sorry, but Teresa is NOT back….Frog Applause disappeared and finally came back in August 2014 with re-runs.Someone traced some of them to 2007… I followed them in order for a while but then I stopped reading it and lost track.

The hat goes so nicely with his underwear.

Good morning everyone. Is the meme from current pop culture? Current’ly cold with a bright sun. Sunshine,is back in my life. :)

To an old song. (The Polka dot bikini song, sort of)He wore a big and brighty, loud and looney polka dotie shirt and hatie. That he wore for the first time before, a big and brighty, loud and looney polka dotie shirt and hatie.We just hope that he does not show more.

It’s MEASLES MAN!

Ah wunts ate a mush room thet lookd lak GaRY’s hat…things got fuZzy an member sum alyens doin speer mints on me, then woke up in teh middel of a high skool socker field dressed in a purple tutu… and then…. and THEN…well, ah dont wanna tawk abowt it…. O..o

Gary’s getting the hang of this “fashion” thing. Way to go, Gary! (He’ll never outshine all the chic pussies on Ballard Street though.)

Gary is going to have some pretty bad ‘hat hair’ but he does look so pleased with himself. Whatever makes you happy Gary. I’m not surprised that a lot of readers here like Frog Applause – they are both so lame. (I mean that in a funny way).

“…be so kind as to post, on this line, detailed instructions…”-————————————————————-An example from a quick Search for “posting pictures in HTML”http://www.ibdguy.com/posting.shtml

Gary has been a little “spotty” lately…

Of course he did, but has he seen the matching shoes yet?

Of course he had to get the hat. He would just look silly without it. That man is STYLIN’!And bev, Beau Geste can just go suck eggs. You keep posting. I love ‘em, even if I don’t click on all of them.

@SusanSunshineThank you so much. You are my Sunshine, my only SusanSunShine. I will be patient and immensely grateful. I must apologize for my ignorance in using correct terms. It’s not only my age, but something I do often with other “things” in my life. I sometimes call a stove an oven, or mistake shoes with socks. Men have foggy years, too, and need your empathy.As for [redacted], I have a printed-out archive of every cartoon (including all of her reruns). I know new stuff when I see it. Her new cartoons started on February 1. Plus, you say you want proof? Try dragging one of her cartoons off the page. It has the current date as the post date. More important, I have been told (privately) that [redacted] doesn’t want a big hoopla about her return and is actually begging people to not make it known on her page that she is back. I shouldn’t be saying any of this, and probably should erase this portion of my message soon. I don’t want to get in trouble or do something to hurt anyone.The only part of my message that I won’t edit is this… you are my Sunshine.I did it again. I said edit but I meant delete. GoComics doesn’t allow editing, only reposting with edits.

NoticeMess with one of us, mess with all of us.

@ HAPPYx3oh duz that pikshur bring bak mammar uh…. mEmmeries….
