Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 14, 2012

He must be walking my dog.

Skippy has his own agenda today. He’s planning on meeting Little Miss Millie High Maintenance in the alley…

For those who missed it last night…. (which is probably most people)…

News from Bev:

“Grandson arrived this am while we were enroute. 8lbs 3oz. 20”long.Parents very proud and very tired! We plan to go home on Sunday.Not getting on gocomics so y’all can post any of this for me."

Yay! Bev’s a grandma!

Once Skippy has a scent, there will be no negotiation.

A bit heavy for this time of day (9 am) but meaningful.

I think your comic strip is outstanding

New to this neighborhood. Give me time to warm the engine.

Ballard St. does have a Leash Law, but there are ways to get around it.

Some Ballard St. dogs are crafty old veterans and opt to walk themselves.

To Bev and her family!

Congratulations!! Let the spoiling of the new grandson begin…!

…thats my boy…

My dog does the same thing. Chihuahua can really pull. And when I go the way she is pulling. She reverses course going the direction I was trying to go in the first place.

You got it. Remember Tyranny and Mutation. Dominance and Submission. ME262. Mirrors. Cultosaurs Erectus. And of course Godzilla. Albums and songs. I begun my quest to get it all back. My mother (Bless her soul) stored my old records in the attic. Warped plastic. Now collecting CDs when I can find them. Long live the Cult and Buc Dharma. Gothic before it was cool.

Lets go back further in music history. Anyone recall Bloodrock specifically DOA. One line sticks out. I try to move my arm but there’s no feeling. I turn and look and see there’s nothing there. I remember. We were flying along and hit something in the end. Play that song for your new young drivers just hitting the road.

CONGRATULATIONS BEV! Glad all went well!

My Josie goes for a DRAG she hates the leash and won’t move

Martin may need to toss a ball to get his way

Congregations uh collaborations… Umm, corrugations … Well… Happy Daze Ms Bev…!!!!

Drinks on us at the Tiki Bar when you get back Bev.I’ve got the first round, Monkey’s got the second and Red the third. By then, who cares ? Then on to Storm’s…

Gird up thy loins

Me, Red!Anyone still up?

I can’t stand on my head but I’m good at falling on my a$$.And at making one of myself.

or Monkey?Is the Tiki open?

As for a gird up the loins….

Great way to barbecue pork, I think….

My best wishes to Beviek and her fam. My best wishes to her new grandson for a healthy and prosperous life.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++And to Ms Bev: No excuses for not popping in at Gocomics. The World Wide Web is worldwide, so unless this kid was born on Saturn…..

We had a tank on our firebase. It was twin 40mm. I forgot its designation. We nicknamed it Heavy Metal. It could throw out the shells. You are correct. Many think Steppenwolf, Cream, Ten Years After, the Who were “Heavy Metal” It was not until groups like Queenryche. Iron Maiden. Judas Priest the term began to stick. I saw in Germany back in 73 Yes, Ten Years After, and the Who in one concert. The Who lasted three songs and broke out into a fist fight between them. Moon started it with Daltry. Entwhistle joined in. The bass guy just stared shaking his head. (Forgot his name My bad.) The other two were fantastic. Yes took you on journey. Ten Years After just rocked. The Who was just sad but really funny at the time. All that great music and in the military. Happy Happy Joy Joy times Bro. Scary but good times.

Why not just say Put Your Armor ON. Girding? Loins?

I thought Weebles wooble but not fall down.

I know those discussions quite well. It’s little enough to keep Phydeaux happy.

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

Guess we know who’s boss on this walk.

I think I’d pass on the practice whip target. @ cleoandcompany.net

Good morning Perro phans! Guess what day it is…..
