Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 17, 2009

Reggie’s got a good grip on the bat, as he waits for the pitch.

Ted, you might want to watch you knees.

Ted, you’re crowding the plate.

Upset his timing, throw a curve or knuckler!

Here I am… at long last…. sorry….

My schedule has been topsy-turvy, along with everything else.

But please… this is the place to post your comments on

the July 17th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

 

Read it first on Sherpa

So Reggie is a lefty. Hit one out of the park, Reggie!

Wait. It has a DVD player too??? Then I could watch “On The Beach” while nuking my food.

Good thought, Cleo! Though I don’t know how fearsome a sicced basset can be.

I hope ashtrays are not part of the future!

Can anyone give me the link to the Time Warp animation Nighthawks did? I want to post it on BCN, whose creator has now confessed a weakness for Rocky Horror.

Don’t get too close to Reggie, otherwise your shin will feel the bat speed.

The future holds cleo’s bite marks on a certain door to door salesman.

What I think Cleo is saying is that she is ready to launch lunch on our traveling huckster’s shoes.

Two recent questions about sharing Cleo strips….

I think I can answer them both at the same time.

There are several ways of doing it… but I think linking directly to a strip on GoComics or Sherpa gives the most credit to the cartoonists.

 

Before I give specific links….

The link I usually give for Cleo, which I posted above, has no date, and goes to the current strip.

But if you look at a different day, you’ll see that the date is included in the URL

If you want to link to that strip….

Just click in the address bar, which will usually highlight it.

If it doesn’t, use right-click “Select all” or Control A to highlight it, and “Copy” or Control C to copy it…

and paste it into a forum comment, or an e-mail, or wherever you’re sharing it, like Twitter or Facebook.

 

Here’s a trick, though…. this works on both Sherpa and GoComics….

If what you want to share is the current day’s strip, you may not see a date in the URL.

Just use the arrows on either site, though the formats are different, to go back to the previous strip….

then use them again to come back to the current one.

Magically, the date will be included in the URL.

 

Meanwhile…. Dennis…. ’ 

http://www.comicssherpa.com/site/feature?uc_comic=cscwy&uc_full_date=20190607

is the link to the Time Warp.

 

And Brian….. You don’t need GoComics’ help… just post the URL….

For the bowling alley strip, from day before yesterday….

If you mean to post the actual image and not a link to that day on Sherpa, let me know….

I can probably tell you how to do that, depending on my familiarity with where you’re sharing it.

If there’s no Blu-Ray, forget it.

Got up late. Gotta hurry and get this done and get to work. Claude should have told him that if it didn’t include a micro SD card reader and an untraceable link to a pirated movie website, then he wasn’t interested. “Sic him, Cleo”.

 

I beat the mysterious @katina.cooper to the post!

P.S. Little known historical fact: the salesman’s bowtie is a replica of the propeller from the open cockpit biplane that Rago, Kansas farmer Clyde Cessna built and flew in June 1911 (sadly, a reporter from the ɢᴏᴄᴏᴍɪᴄs ɴᴇᴡsʀᴏᴏᴍ who was present at the time was distracted by a text message from a Sherpa artist complaining about the delay in joining the main website and failed to get a picture).

Maybe the ashtray is there for cleaning up the burnt food remains?

Go ahead, Cleo. Get out your bazooka!

Good morning Balladeers and Miss Susan! Susan, think of you and have you in my nightly prayers.

My husband would probably buy this. He just had to have an InstaPot (which I don’t know how to use, heehee) and now has ordered the Insta hot air fryer(?). I’m sure he would find a use for the ash tray – spoon rest?. So glad he cooks, though.
