Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 16, 2020

Well honestly, after the discussion on yesterday’s or the day before’s comic, I am hesitant to run right out and say HI SCOOTER, but I think this may well BE HIM. Really, poochie, I don’t think you need worry. I think old Mr. Grumpytreats is just “yanking your chain”, to coin a phrase. Busting your chops.

At least it’s not a hangman’s noose.

Nope…

Who cares?! He looks marvelous!

“Arf…I’ll tie you into a Windsor knot!!! Woof, arf, arf!”

It has to be Scooter, he’s the only dog with..er..um.. “ulterior motives.“ This one being that as soon as Harold puts on the tie Scooter offers to “ straighten/ tighten it. Bye Harold.

Harold’s cardboard inserts seem to be askew, thereby making his pants all higgedly piggeldy.

Last Rose made an important announcement on Ten Cats. Let the festivities begin!

Scooter is following the Trump model of having a tie long enough to cover his crotch.

Windsor knot? HEY, a little help here, my jaw is caught…..

I never had a tie long enough (or narrow enough) to make a decent Windsor knot. Actually the knot would be OK but the ends of the tie wouldn’t extend much past my sternum.

Not bad for a dog. It’s like the amazing thing about a dancing bear is not how well he dances. It’s that he dances at all.

Yes.. it is a Windsor knot.. it’s just a bit of drool that makes it look sloppy

Happy B’day, Rose! And may you go on for ✨♾✨❣

The Windsor Knot appears to be the same knot as the one to cinch a girth on a saddle. The question remains— How did those dang Royal Windsors ever learn that when they have grooms?

Big interview today?

No, Four-in-paws.

Yes, it is, but only if his name is “Windsor”…

Better than my dog – he only wears “clip-ons!”

Is Prince Harry a Windsor, Knot?
