Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 31, 2009

And just practicing up a storm!

It rained for the next two weeks.

wndrwrthg: Good one.

doctortoon: Sort of wet their pants did they?

You guys are on a roll today!

Oh, those irrepressible Hemalshots. Buddy can’t stand to look.

Love the ten year old comments, but they kind of used up the rainmaking gag.

The Hemalshots are giving free-form dance a Hemal shot, but their pooch clearly did not attend the class.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel! …………. Let down your ………………………………. ears?

Grrpupzel, let down your ears!

Beautiful rendition, Stel!

Wow, she’s hot! I’d climb a tower to rescue her if she’d have me, but my ears are probably too short and not furry enough.

It does show a lack of form.

HI, everybody!

I see some of us are already here, posting comments on

the Jan 31st  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

Take a look on Sherpa

For a lovely illustration from StelBel….

 

Oh Stel… it’s beee-ooo-ti-ful!

Almost like a fairy ta..l..e.. …. um…. wait….

It IS a fairy tale, isn’t it…. “Rapupzel?”

But it’s so much prettier than the modern versions.

 

OH OH OH!!

I can’t believe I found this:

It’s humans acting out the same story.

Well…. almost the same.

Humans apparently have to substitute her hair to climb, cos we don’t have long enough ears.

But that’s a shame…. hair is no where close to as soft, or as comfortable to hold on to, as Rapupzel’s smooth, silky basset ears.

And it seems they call her RaPUNzel…. but I haven’t heard her say anything funny yet.

Oh…. maybe it’s because she’s not a puppy. so they’re making a pun?

Naw, that makes no sense.

 

It’s not just that they’re humans in that illustration… they look like mere children.

Little boy!!! Be careful!

Does your mother know you’re out there, scaling castle walls?

And little girl!!

You’re entirely too young to have little boys climbing up your ears…..

I mean… er… your hair.

I think you should leave it to the dogs…

Seven is all grown up for a dog.

 

BTW… Buddy can’t figure it out.

If he jumps around like an idiot, rumpling up the carpet, he’s in the doghouse all week.

My favorite part was the purplie head thingy. It was very … purplie.

Stel!!! You have out did yourself today! Our two main characters are so sweet and cuddly. Absolutely lovable! In looking at Susan’s human version, it’s only a kiddie cartoon compared to this handsome prince climbing Rapupzel’s ears. Sigh! Puppy love.

Beautiful picture, Stel, just beautiful!
