Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 05, 2015

Gary forgot to say “Please Dearest may I?” when asking for a second helping. Vivian read that as asking for it.

Manners, Gary, when are you gonna learn?

Gary has learned the cure for his pounding headaches.

Forget Excedrin.

I have had a special request, which, though it is highly unusual, I have agreed to grant….That is to say, I have agreed to post the following notice…. to which I draw your attention, if you will be so kind….

there will be no peace until the PRINCE of peace returns! THE holy bible

I agree Happy, I agree! I don’t read the editorial cartoons for that reason. Keep Ballard Street a ‘happy’ place!

That apparent lump at the back of Gary’s head seems to attest to the fact that Gary is still in the process of learning…

I agree with your social commentary. Please, not here.As far as your contraption goes, that must be a real noisy machine. One could probably not hear themselves cry.

This place is moving away from being a place for fun.I guess that i will be moving along as well.

I won’t leave GoComics.Ill just find a friendlier, funner comic to comment on.No goodbye.Just, i’ll see you around.

Happy! You can’t leave before tonight!

Whether or not you agree with what they say… why let other people control where you post?

Anyway, there was no combative stuff in today’s comments…. just some sad remarking on the headlines…I didn’t see any arguments.While I also prefer not seeing that sort of thing on Ballard Street, it was an emotional response, and I understand people’s frustration, just as I try to understand when people post their own real life frustrations, when I’d like this place to be funny.This was a rare occurrence anyway….How often have you seen it?Not worth running away for one day’s comments.And those who love this strip for the humor need to stay and keep it going!

Thank you.

Good night.I promise to check in tomorrow when i get a break between clients.

Ok folks…. announcement as promised:

(Click it for a larger version, if you want to see it)

The party is going to be at StelBel’s castle, wich is at the end of Old Ballard Road, and then West through the butterly forest…But Old Ballard Road is closed for repairs…so we’re gathering on Cleo & Company, and following the back road.

But Cleo hasn’t quite updated…. so hang on a few minutes….

Then hop on the bus!

If you get to Saturday, you can refresh in a few minutes for Sunday…see you there!

This bus, if you click it, will take you directly to Cleo and Company, whenever you get here!

It runs all night, and always appears when it’s needed.

Hi Bev… good to see you, if only for a moment.Don’t worry, we’ll transport your stuff to Cleo!

Ok, folks…. Cleo has updated…see you there!

The bus should be there now, Rose!

Party at the castle, get thee hence!…………………………………….

Gaijjinrabbit…. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Mr. Amerongen would some day meet us all for…

I dunno…tea in Ballard Park? or a beer at the Tiki?

And we could ask him questions, and chat…..

We often mull the question of whether or not he has ever seen this forum…and whether he enjoys it.

I hope so!

@Stel Bel.I can see the strip and comments at Cleo & Company but I can’t sign in to pass on my birthday wishes. I’ll have to leave them here…..Happy Birthday – have a great day and enjoy every minute.

Hey, Redkaycei Repoc !……it’s been a long time!! Good to “see” you!

and, thanks!

Bye.
