Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 18, 2012

That dog has an evil look in his eyes…

In the private eye business this is called an “open tail.”

Shawn is being hounded!

Second panel, dog nose in crotch…

Essex! So it’s you who goes around blabbing to everybody that I’ve been doing Shawn’s…. laundry.No wonder Stephen insisted that I switch to that bacon detergent.It wasn’t really because it was “Bacon-With-Everything” week!It was because he wanted to send Mickey’s pal Scooter out to track Shawn’s comings and goings.Scooter has quite the nose for bacon, as you well know.

Hey thanks x_Tech and Dazz, too, for the birthday wishes yesterday.

And Afficionado, what I can’t understand is why people insist on climbing, walking across, and diving off it when they know they’re aiding its destruction…and why other people cheer them on.

Dogged determination on that dour doggy’s countenance.

bare ankles! what an easy target.

Rusty Boy is highly suspicious of anyone with skinny ankles, a long time point of contention, a predisposition which cannot be denied.

Just part of our canine community campaign – we don’t take much to aimless walks ’round these parts. Good choice on the sweater Shawn, good choice.

Maybe Shawn stepped in something “interesting”?

Shawn of the Dogged, great movie.

I remembered being dogged by a pit bull while walking along rural lane. I didn’t like it……

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

If Shawn stopped saving his left over meat sticks in his pockets, he wouldn’t have this problem.

Ace and it’s only a 4 panel toon….on to the next suspect @cleoandcompany.net

Good Monday morning Noir Phans!

Y’all have a great week. (((((HuGz!)))))

Well, what else would Skippy do? He can’t very well play cat and mouse with Shawn.

Worse, he’s probably really good at it.

Some days I’m dogged by my cat. How confusing is that?
