Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 26, 2011

It doesn’t seem to bother Harold.

Just go to bed.

Maybe not quite… after all, her shoes match.

Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.

I still find it charming that they spend their evening together.

Better than using mind-altering drugs to improve her reality.

pretty lumpy…is the dog underneath there also?

Not the blanket party Harold was hoping for…

Stink? Good pipe tobaccos — and I don’t mean the floor sweepings they peddle as “flavored” tobaccos — have a rich and wonderful aroma. The same is true of good cigars, by the way.

If she can’t see him, maybe he’s not really there.

Usually it is the Ballard men that cover up. Vivian can enjoy tracing out the little points of light that come through.

There is nothing about the phrase “lovely fringed cashmere shawl” that sounds unappealing. Sign me up for the new Ballard Street club.

Cleo is advocating for punning on a Pastis-like scale. To her credit, she practices what she preaches.

Vivian also uses many things out of *DennisinSeattle*’s haberdashery, clothing, and Rug Emporium.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Gotta love a good shawl.

HAPPY MONDAY CLEOPHANATICS!

Need to go back to The Pastis School for Punnery.
