Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 04, 2015

Okay. Who’s the screw up that left this off my calendar?What sort of Mickey Mouse outfit is this?

Who, me??

Got any cheese?

(Not Swiss, please, Bev.You never know how it was made.)

Bev, XTI has contact with Madame Beviek to keep our calendars up to date. I mean she knows what’s going to happen doesn’t she? Madame Beviek should we be reviewing that contact?

BEVI’m wearing sensible shoes too.Mrs. Higglepooder wants to borrow my costume, should I let her?

Don’t forget the Pumpkin Plunge on Nov. 13.

@Madame Beviek Your contract, as reviewed by our legal staff. states that you and you alone are responsible for your predictions and that you may not lay off, assign, or otherwise transfer any culpability to your sub-contractors. On a separate mater, our contract with said SusanShine does indeed say that she can do no wrong. At least according to her shyste legal staff.

Veteran was the winner last year. Here we see him paddling for all he’s worth.

Frankly, Madame Beviek, I find your frequent fault-finding famously unfair!

I often fail to follow you… What facts figure into your findings?

For friendship’s sake, I hope you can forgo this finger-pointing….

Bev, perhaps you lawyer should talk to our laywer.Meet Lily of Lily, Chesney, Somes and Associates.

And thank you, x_Tech, for defending my fair honor, and for your faith in my lack of faults.

PS… I suddenly find mysel* running out of *s… I mean *s….oh gosh.I hope you know what I need…cos I would like to add 3 gross o* them to my next order *rom XTI.Thank you.

There’s a joke in here somewhere about rats leaving a sinking ship, but I’m too tired (read: lazy) to find it.

@SusanOur instant delivery service is right on the ball.ffffffffffffffffffff

beviek: What’s Ed Hopper doing here? Oh, I get it, “You dirty rats!”

It’s a good thing all I’m seeing are Mini (Minnie) Mouse outfits. I don’t want to see any Mickey Mouse outfits cuz I’m glad I don’t work for them anymore.

Im waiting for the speed boat races.

Susan does tend to ( in spite of what X_Tech claims ) occasional omissions but *Bev*’s prognostications are perhaps, perchance, problematic.

In lieu of all the above alliterations, I’ll abstain from affixing any additional appended attachments and after words.

I left an update on my campaign at the end of the day yesterday at Citizen Dog and Ten Cats.

“Mrs. Higglepooder wants to borrow my costume, should I let her?”

Lend her the outfit, if you must ( it won’t fit her anyway ) but not the sexy socks and shoes !

“… and then when they’d got the costumes on they started… squeaking.”From Monty Python’s “The Mouse Problem”(script) or also or Youtube

Usually love this strip. Today’s was just flat out unfunny

As well it should.

Didn’t ANYBODY get the “Wind in the Willows” connection? The character of Ratty who loved messing about in boats?

Taking a break from the rat race for a rat race?
