Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 10, 2012

And pull the trigger with your front paw…

Ever since Delores threw Donald out, he’s been trying to get back in the saddle again !

Reggie accidentally shoots master, film at 10:00.

They both look like a couple of nice chaps…

Honest, officer; it wasn’t ovicide it was suicide. He wanted to join the great stewpot er, I mean flock in the sky.

Is everybody sure which one is Reggie and which one is Donald???

Easy for you to say when yours are false.

Careful Reggie. Remember the circular saw incident!

Another great, hilarious, and enjoyable cowboy cartoon!

Reggie looks jealous of Donald’s Chaps.As for beviek’s post about Jerry Van Amerongen, this is a favorite comic of mine because of the intense whimsy shown in the denizens of Ballard Street.

A two gun and hostler set, dreams of a Christmas past and daydreams of tomorrow. At first, the neighbors thought Donald had too much money and too much time on his hands. Now they are taking him seriously. His letter writing campaign, the website and the business ID number are clear indications of deep seated issues. As far as they know, Donald is the only American who is lobbying to bring back dueling. Donald on the other hand, has an obvious and simple vision. Given, what is morally correct, righteous or lawful doesn’t seem to matter; and the level of random and deliberate violence; dueling becomes the common sense method of resolving the dispute. Today’s dilemma centers on the fact that Reggie can only understand seventeen commands and “ grab the handle” is not one of them.

If Reggie is anything like me, it’s dangerous to wave a finger in his face. Near his teeth.

Ooooh!!! Stormy’s a partyin’ gal !!! Party’s for dead ferns…… I got 5 morning glory pots I quit watering a week ago because they refused to bloom. I got some partyin’ do do!!!-——————————————————————————

Oh goodie! Okay let me see…we could have it at my place….the 13th I think. I only have four parties that day. You are invited you know! We will have water slides and toy airplane fights during the second one and then we slow down on the third one and just throw spitballs at the neighbors. Can you bring some string cheese and whiskey? I am running kind of low.

That’s because of the doggun leash laws !

and @Linguist

I agree, we have a high number of gun-totin’ dogs in the neighborhood…

…and even some gun-totin’ chicks!

(the above set of photos of dogs and chicks with guns was addressed to you and Linguist . (?) I must have thought I was on automatic REPLY and wasn’t. Who knows? Half the time, the REPLY doesn’t work.)

Reggie hears “What the what with my teeth”?

Ask a stupid question…
