Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 06, 2011

I can see why…

Target practice would work better.

I’ve got annoying neighbors too. I would love a shot.

Do all of the characters in the strip live in Florida?

Florida? FLORIDA???

why use the hose and end up washing it? use something nasty. does he have a dog?

Well, wouldn’t you? I mean, the head is staring into his yard, for Pete’s sake!

Uh-Oh, the evil cat is back:

I think Cleo should have applied that paint to the cat!

Maybe Cleo could supply Gene with some paint.

Right on, Gene.

Say, is that head supposed to resemble anyone in particular? The neighbor who owns it?

“I’m on it.”

“Confound it!”

“I’m on it.”

“Confound it!”

They could go on like that for hours.

Ripe tomatoes make a more lasting impression.

Claude would have spelled cat wrong.

Rrrrrrright… There’s no sign “Caution! Wet paint!”

It’s just a sign ♪ of the ♫ times… ♪ ♫

Cleo is, of course, practicing “Non-contact delivery” …

in the January 6th  2021 “CLEO and COMPANY” on Sherpa.

 

She doesn’t want to go near that cat… not to wake it up, chase it, challenge it… not even to paint it.

It’s… um… you know… well… it just isn’t safe.

I don’t doubt that… but I DO doubt she’s talking about Covid-19.

 

It’s all about a clause in her contract…

I mean, the special claws in her contract….

Klaude’s claws… and the avoidance thereof.

And her right to remain silent… and in one piece.

It was renegotiated after her last run-in with the eevil beeste.

 

As with most Cleo projects…

she may not have done everything she can…

But she’s done everything she’s willing to do.

 

If you think that leaves room for discussion…

or that she can be nudged to go just a little farther to fulfill her side of the bargain…

I guess you’ve never “negotiated” with a basset hound.

So would i!

I’m surprised at Cleo’s restraint.

Good morning, Ballardeers! Q Date: 299.98615.9 Here’s a conundrum. It’s National Bean Day and National Cuddle Day.

Gene doesn’t need such a big target. I’d be taking shots too…. with chasers.

Cleo has chosen discretion over stoopid. Not her chair.

Y’all resist the temptation to “dutch oven” the cuddler. (((((HUGS!)))))

Bah HAHAHAHAHA!

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

Maybe they want Gene back…

Now Cleo. Everyone knows orange doesn’t match lavender. Just ask the old gals in the Red Hat Society. It’s purple and red!

Cleo is scared that if she does anything, the evil cat will parade her around town while riding on her back.
