Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 30, 2018

Great teamwork, guys!

Grab their nuts, Scooter!

They’re gonna trap him up there some day. He’ll get that “Hang Dog” look.

The dog, however, hates it when he’s barking up the wrong tree.

The fun really began when Scooter came back down.

They may steer clear of the neighborhood.

Whats the big deal?

Mechanically assisted bunny hops don’t count.

…well, unless you are on the lower limbs..

Tryouts for Ballard’s Big & Little Top 2 1/2 Ring Circus are next week.

Next panel: [CLANG!]

So that’s why those squirrels stole those garbage can lids…

What goes up… must come down.. We need another panel in this cartoon.. Did scooter get a squirrel.. or a mouthful of Doris hiding in the tree.

Shouldn’t the squirrels be more concerned about Scooter’s upper limbs…?

I know a basenji who is ready to volunteer for this.

It might work if Scooter was the size of a rat terrier.

I wonder if the force of Scooter’s descent will send his partner in crime to the moon?
