Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 28, 2008

Clara says," I wouldn’t touch that button, but I’ll give you a pole so you can push it and see what happens. If you get much smaller, I’ll put you in my purse so Cleo won’t step on you or think of you as a snack."

The “Intermission” is a nice touch.

Claude is so predictable. Poor &%)@#.

On the plus side, he can now ride home aboard Cleo. Talk about taking her for a walk.

Alice had this problem, too.

Hi, everybody!

Glad some of you are already commenting on

the Sept 28th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

If I were Clara, there’s no way I’d touch that button….

Probably it’d make her smaller, not Claude bigger.

It might be cute having a mini-Claude around… but as much as I’d miss getting full size hugs….

I have no desire to live out my life looking like half of a salt ’n pepper set.

 

And who’d do the shopping, and cooking?

Not Cleo…. she’d blow the food money on steaks, and Alpo liver chunks, and fancy kibble.

 

Seems to me that an intermission means the rest of the story is coming.

Something must have happened… cos I believe Claude did make it back home big enough to fit into his regular clothes….

A little too big for some…

No, Claude…. don’t try to blame today’s adventure for that.

I don’t think you’ve fit into those blue slacks since last November.

 

I guess you guys got my message that we’re meeting at the Tiki instead of Ralph and Nina’s….

I was surprised when she cancelled… seems they’d given away their living room set,

and the new furniture hadn’t arrived yet.

Where could it be?

She called the store, and talked to Larry himself…. he said he’d get on it…. right after lunch.

 

Happy to see you here yesterday, Val!

Welcome back!

If there’s no URL on Sherpa, just go to the new Ballard St…

and go back 10 years to the day.

Forgot to say…. Stel…. I replied to you yesterday.

Claude just got a little mad. Cleo should have patted his head and said, “Who’s a good widdle boy?”.

My don’t they look like a perky pair.

Only a small man wouldn’t admit he was wrong.

oh hum…..another lame animation?

“really folks. and this is supposed to be funny?”*

*that was one of our well-deserved comments from a couple years ago

Have I ever mentioned I just LOVE Claude’s “Do Not Touch” cartoons?!?!!! When will he ever learn! But I do miss the dancing hot dogs and popcorn in the intermission sign.

Can we assume the Howard brothers do the deliveries for Larry’s Fine Furniture?

Greetings Guys and Gals! I’m so happy to be back im the fold! It’s been a frightful year plus and I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things. Thank you for looking out for me here. What a great feeling! I love today’s animation! I’d like to order one of those doorbells please!
