Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 24, 2010

They might not have come if they had.

You don’t have to listen. You don’t even have to like it. But, as Vivian strongly suggests, you do have to SHUT UP………

Time’s up. Thank you.

And amplified at that - remarkable

Just keep it brief, Harold.

I think we can be grateful that this one has no sound:

Ooooh!

A gorgeous Christmas Eve animation, for the

December 24th 2020 “Cleo and Company” on Sherpa!

Wow! I LOVE this one!

Thanks, you guys!

 

I want sound! I do, I do!

Don’t you want to hear the lovely… um… oh… right… howling, Dennis?

It might be festive, with the instruments and all.

Then again… you could be right.

 

Visually, it’s mesmerizing.

I was staring at it so long I ALMOST got hypnotized and didn’t make it back here to write a comment.

I COULD have stared at it till my tablet battery went dead.

 

Maybe I’d still be stuck there after that, for months, staring at nothing but the dark screen…

had I not suddenly realised i was hungry, and made a MIGHTY effort to pull myself away.

Whew.

The power of cartoons.

And here’s the human version:

By the looks of it, I seriously doubt they sound any better than the bassets. Where’s Cleo’s remote again?

Poster bassets.

I really don’t think he’s got anything remarkable to say.

The fellow foreground right didn’t get the memo. That’s who Virginia is shushing.

That is a terrific cover for the Basset Post. I would buy that magazine if I saw it for sale somewhere. How many opportunities are you going to get to buy an animated magazine cover?

And thanks as well to Tigressy for finding the human version. It’s fascinating to look at the similarities (and differences) in the details. The hats, f’rinstance, and their height relative to each other.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sel, Hawks, I LOVE it!

thanks everyone! and a happy Christmas to all.

and a fervent hope that next year will be much better for all of us

HOT TODDIES ALL AROUND! ((((((HUGS)))))

Visitors to The Ranch should assume that there will be opening remarks. (I have to keep in practice.)

Merry Christmas to the entire C & C Family! You all bring much joy to this ole gal. Especially Nighthawks and StelBel for sharing your magnificent humor and talents with us! Love you all.

I totally agree with MontanaLady! I hope everyone has a nice Christmas and as Nighthawks said, a much better New Year!

I bet they would have really loved doing that song if the evil cat next door had been playing the piano with them. Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope you get the present you always wanted.

Merry Christmas!

God Bless us, everyone!
