Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 15, 2009

Think I’ll pass, ladies, but you do look quite, er, fetching.

Uh, no thanks, I don’t do the rodent thing.

Can someone please help me locate a one-frame cartoon by this artist, I believe, where the Dad-hubby guy is standing on his porch, looking out toward his yard (I think the caption was something about chores all finished, something), and the railing section right in front of him gives way and he winds up falling through that section of porch railing, please?

Thank you so much!!

If there’s a way to PM me, that would be great.

Ducks and geese and cats better scurry….

Shirley JoBasset was cuter than a speckled pup!

We’re going to have to build a bigger mouse trap.

suppose that it would sound better than the sound of musac.

What a classic musical today from Stel ol’ Bel. That poster literally glitters.

My Scoutmaster used to sing “Oh what a Beautiful Naptime” every morning on campouts. One of those ancient childhood memories.

As to the Guernsey sisters above: It is well known that they are descended from the dairy farmer who first “created” and bred that type of cow. It is also well known that they live together in the old family home, just the two of them, spinster sisters with no descendants of their own. The farm is long gone, disappeared beneath multiple subdivisions. But Flossie and Florrie – I kid you not – remain, remember, and carry on.

Look out, Susan will be appearing in her mouse costume at any moment.

Hey Plods, I just got home from a Rolling Stones concert. If you recover from heart surgery like Mick Jagger, you will be Running with Bear again in no time! I swear, he got his 10,000 steps in just in this performance,

A handsome couple, Stel. You spoil us with two new posters in a row! That Gloria Grrram is one cute bi…. oh, never mind, I don’t want to be misinterpreted.

Oh goodness….

TWO new posters by StelBel, in one week!

This one… for Doggers and Weimaraner’s very first musical collaboration….

the enduringly popular “Oklahounda” … appears in the August 15th, 2019 “Cleo and Company”

on Sherpa, linked above….

 

I’m barely awake,…. but I couldn’t go to bed, could I, without a word about this lovely work.

My parents bought the stage musical recording of Oklahounda when I was very little, then took us all to see the movie when it was new.

They loved it… and it’s still in my heart too.

 

I grew up singing (very badly!) those now well-known tunes….

imitating Gloria Grrram’s twangy howling of "I’m Just a Dog Who Cain’t Hear ‘No!’ " …

trying to do high kicks like the impossibly-limber-for-a-basset Charlotte Greenbone’s Old Aunt Yeller…

and, of course, attempting duets with myself….

switching between a childish tenor for Gordy MacHound, and a squeaky falsetto for the lovely Shirley JoBasset….

 

“Don’t put… your paw on mine….”

“But I saw…. how you gnaw on mine….”

“No! Don’t put… your paw on mine…

People will say I’m in heat!"

 

The humans didn’t steal this poster for their movie…. I believe they copied it for their sheet music:

Anyway….we’re in another heat wave… my weather app showed 101° at 3pm, with… um… a predicted high of 98°…

back to the drawing board, Accuweather!

 

Lackluster crowds and wilting produce at the Wednesday Night farmer’s market….

then, because my kitchen was so hot, I went to WalMart to buy a charging cord and cool off in the air conditioning.

We’re convinced we don’t need it in our houses here…. right…

 

A very late yogurt instead of dinner… one of those chair naps we discussed…

yet I somehow managed to post thzzzzzzz…

The Guernsey/mice sisters are a bit bigger than I would have expected!!! TWhat a line up in todays poster, it’s fabulous, what more can we ask, Canine color, Puppy Scope, & topping it all, Fred Shihtsu directing, where do I get a ticket!!!

I’m going to form a local chapter of the Little Mice Tea Society.

Beautiful, Stel, just BEAUTIFUL!

I can’t add anything to everyone else’s comments, but………………FANTASTIC, Stel!!!!

I’ll be humming these tunes all day long! Something about corn being as high as an elephant’s eye….I love this soundtrack and of course Gordy MacHound and Shirley JoBasset steal the show. Sigh.

Loved the placement of the dog faces. Kudos again, StelBel!!
