    I was thinking this was a “duck and cover” drill.

    Why in world would anyone want to escape from Cleveland?

    Troy should keep that behind closed doors. We’re all watching out there.

    There’s no escaping.

    Ooooh, look, everybody!

    Sorry, you newbies who weren’t around yet when we worked on this wonderful project….

    and attended its grand Cleveland premiere.

     

    I’m talking, of course, about “Escape From Cleveland” ….

    in the June 11th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

     

    See it on Sherpa

    http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwy

     

    We were all so thrilled…..

    And not just the Cleo regulars you mentioned, Dennis….

    You’re in there too….. along with Perkycat as producer….

    I also see x_Tech, Mabrndt, Grog, and SheMc.

    A cast of dozens…. well, almost dozen.

    Thank you again, Nighhawks and StelBel!

     

    Later, there was a human movie….

    but they didn’t offer any of us a part, even though we knew them so well.

    And Cleveland had been done, so they had to escape from someplace else….

    Oh yeah…..

    Cleveland is eminently more escape-worthy.

    I know… I lived there.

    OK, I was a little kid, and it was long ago.

    I’m sure they’ve rounded up all the dinosaurs by now,

    and schoolkids have other supplies besides rocks and sticks.

    But it’s probably not that different.

     

    A blizzard on my eighth(?) birthday dumped a zillion feet of snow (give or take) …

    but did they close my school?

    NO.

    And my Mom and I trudged for miles…. or maybe blocks… through the snow, just to bring cupcakes to my class.

    At least back then homemade cupcakes weren’t considered lethal.

    And after Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Cincinnati and Washington D.C. are next. It will be a dogtastrophy. Hope this one doesn’t get removed.

    Finally! The little people who helped me get where I am today get their modicum of recognition, too.

    Thank you,* @StillTheBelle for taking the time to remember your fans.

    Quickly….

    Forgot to invite Troy to the Tiki….. a Yak n’ Dak will turn that frown upside down…

    Assuming there’s a frown in there someplace… and no, I don’t mean you’ll have to stand on your head.

     

    Everybody else come on over too….

    There’s a huge batch of yak ribs just out of the smoker… and plenty of options if that’s not your thing.

    We can talk about today’s poster while we reminisce about our days on the set….

    I think the film is even out on DVD by now…. wanna watch it?

     

    Sorry, Dennis…. hadn’t seen your “reply” to yourself when I posted…

    Stel…. it was good to see you sneaking around here yesterday….

    Come back, Monkey!

    And Dry, and SheMc…

    And where did you go, Alexi?

     

    I know where I’m going…..

    to BED! G’night….

    Great poster, Stel and Nighthawks! It’s always fun to see one’s name up in lights! Is this where Cleo got the inspiration to using the flame thrower?

    Love the top banner that announces that this is a Classic from StelBel’s vault!

    Good afternoon Balladeers and Miss Susan! It is noon here, and Miss Susan’s last post was 4 hours ago and she is just then going to bed? My goodness, Girl, you are sure a night owl! :-D If I am correct that would have been like 4 or 5 am? ZZZZZZZZZZZ
