Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 03, 2010

And then you die…

It’s not so bad if you have the right attitude. Alas, the above does not exhibit said attitude.

There is an alternative.

It may be hard and unfair but at least it is equal. Everyone gets their parade rained on at some time during their life….

The problem isn’t that life is unfair, it’s that people only consider fairness when they think they got the short end.

What about the dog!!!!Being tied up…talk about unfair …I can’t believe ya’ll missed THAT…good job Jerry!

Poor puppy…. where is Ginger when we really need her ?

Would you prefer to deserve everything bad that happened to you?

Damn right, says Toby. The master I am stuck with is a real jerk.

At least we have StelBel’s poster to look forward to. Humphrey Gobark and Lauren Barkall, with the eye shadow that may not be named. in The Big Nap!!

Tell me something I don’t know.

You nap, you lose.

Pity that the credits are hardly visible or readable.

The humans messed it up – mirror image!

Life is beautiful all the time

And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they’re coming to take me awaaaaaay.

Casting bassets in The Big Nap should have won an award by itself! Bravo! Two thumbs up with a twist!

Oooh…. it’s “The Big Nap!”

Thank you, Stel!

I’m talking about the September 3rd  2020 “CLEO and COMPANY”, of course… on Sherpa.

I love Humphrey GoBark movies.

This one is sooo complicated. I haven’t seen it in years…

so I was pretty young… but I remember being very confused by the plot.

You couldn’t be confused, though, when Gobark and Barkall were onscreen together.

They could barely keep their tails from wagging…

Actually, they were already mates….

even though she was still practically a puppy, and Gobie was more than twice her age..

They’d done their first film together when she was, legally, still a pup…

They even named their first puppy after Gobie’s character’s nickname in this film.

Humans don’t nap as intently as dogs….

so they called their copydog version “The Big Sleep.”

In the poster Tigressy linked to, the human female doesn’t even have purplie eye shadow.

What kind of glamour is that?

Funny… it took several commenters, 10 years ago, to even mention Toby, the dog…

while I’d taken him to be the focus of the strip…

I thought Howard was addressing his remark TO the forlorn dog….

who is probably whining to go for a walk.

He obviously doesn’t like being tied to the porch while his so-called “Master” reads the paper.

Exactly like my father, when one of us kids would whine that something wasn’t fair…

He’d say “Yep. Life sure isn’t fair, is it?”

Purplie is soooooo 2017.

You should show you’re a hip, “with it,” cool chic chick of the New Roaring 20s, @StillTheBelle, by giving Cleo some ink, some piercings, maybe a Mohawk, some vaping accoutrements, a personalized muzzle covering, Etcetera, Etcetera, Etcetera …

Naps are good. So are walks.

Good Morning Ballardeers! Qdate: 174.98273.79. Taking mom around for stuff she needs.

Loving the Stel-lar Big Nap poster. Of course, if it has nap in it, I’m there.

Y’all keep doin what you’re doin. (((((HUGS!)))))

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Love today’s poster!

Gobark and Barkall…..how romantic they were! You could always count on her being Sassy, and him being Ruff. Loved them together, and, Stel captured them as they truly were.

Humphrey and Lauren are so cute! (I always call them by their first names ~ they respond better).
