Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 27, 2017

Scruffy takes another bite out of C. R. Lime.

Scruffy does not waste his time on pant legs.

Scruffy scored well for height and timing but the dismount was a little ragged.

I offer these tear-away fabrics for customers who would rather patch a jacket than a broken bone. I also have more traditional and durable fabrics, but you have to deal with dogs that do not do the hit-and-run. Choose your poison at Dennis’ Fabric Emporium and Battery Replacement Shoppe.

Wow… I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a re-run on Ballard Street!

Coincidentally, the original strip ran November 2nd, 2007… so it was home to a Cleo and Company forum, about 3 weeks ago.

Honestly, it’s not that I begrudge Jerry Van A some time off….

almost every strip does reruns now and then.

I’m just surprised to see one….

or maybe just not observant enough to have noticed the others.

Now he’s lookin’ scruffy.

Only those of us who are longtime residents of Ballard, would know if its a rerun and ( usually ) we don’t tell.

Besides, you have to admire Little Scruffy for still having that spring in his step and biting wit, at his age. Ten years later, and he’s still disarming people !

That’s one feisty little dog.

Scruffy scruffs scruffy scruffies scruffier…

Sue that SOB!

Hey Scruffy, that’s ruff!!

…i got nothing…
