Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 23, 2008

At this age just waking up in the [morning|afternoon|just waking up at all] is cause for celebration.

Thanks to Montana Lady for the idea for today’s poster!!! You’re OK in my book, ML!!

The Wizard had better make sure Cleo doesn’t have any anti-tank rockets.

Marcia is going to set her gong on fire if she’s not careful.

That Wizard looks decidedly un-basset-like.

LOL!!

Great Poster, StelBel… I love how the others in the series are all incorporated.

I noticed right away that the Wizard was NIghthawks’ avatar….

and I remembered Montana Lady’s post from Tuesday.

I came into the forum all ready to tease you about taking ML’s idea and running with it…

But when I got here, you’d already said so.

Fast work!

Congratulations, ML, on being a comics muse.

And congratulations, Nighthawks, on being a wizard. We all know you’re a cartooning wizard, after all.

Maybe Marcia’s celebratory breakfast is for you guys… since we’re all invited.

I hope it’s OK with Todd.

We’re just stopping by to discuss the poster…. it’s

the August 23rd  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which we’re seeing on Sherpa

And I’m bringing a couple of blueberry pies and two apple ones. Just picked the apples myself!

BTW… the Wizard doesn’t have to be a basset…. or even a dog….

He’s the Wizard of BassetLAND….

Not the Basset of … um… Wizardland? Or even Oz.

Green and bear it.

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

@StillTheBelle – Where did you find that great, unretouched photo of @Nighthawks?

(it’s easy to see why he’s so camera shy)

Beautiful!!! they are all so lifelike (haha)

I love celebratory breakfasts! At this age, everything should be celebrated. Hats off to Marcia.

I’m still chuckling over the Wizard of Bassetland poster! This was very well done! Hooray!

Excellent, StelBel – just excellent. None of the characters look afraid of the wizard – but then why should they. Great portrayal of them all. I’m already looking forward to seeing this again in reruns.

Nice to see Nighthawks has finally shaken the blues. But green? Maybe he’s not ripe yet…

It used to be the flying monkeys that scared the crap outta me. Now it’s the Wizard!

We’re off to see the Nighthawks, the wonderful Nighthawks of Bassetland……….

Yeah. Kinda catchy.
