Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 25, 2008

Hi again, everybody …..

Since it’s another nice day,

Millicent thought we’d like to come sit in their new lawn furniture, and have some lemonade and cookies,

while we all make our comments on

the May 25th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

They’ll also join us in reading it on Sherpa….

Uh oh…. I think this invitation must have been more Millicent’s idea than Neal’s.

It looks like he had a totally different sort of afternoon in mind.

We’re not interrupting you, are we, Neal?

Millicent! What are you doing?

That’s a drum, not a hatbox…..

it doesn’t open like….OH! Oh dear.

Wow, two days in a row of men with…um…. percussion-ary (?) dreams, and wives with other ideas.

Is there something in the spring air, that makes the men around here want to bang on things and make noise?

Some sort of end-of-hibernation stirring in the hearts of the beasts?

(Beasts, at least, in their daydreams. )

Chatting with Susan about ice skating makes me think Cleo would be a great star on the ice, like Sonja Henie, who starred in winter-based musicals of the 40s. What do you think, Stel?

Nice wind-up from Cleo on the swing.

Claude rethinks and decides that maybe he’d rather be a wallflower…with ears….

OK, Nighthawks and StelBel…

You must admit that I am one of the most prolific commenters on “Cleo and Company”….

Arguably the most prolific…

I spend hours posting on “Cleo and Company.”

So please …. forgive me if I don’t have anything to say about today’s strip.

OK…. I can say that I agree with Dennis… above… that animation can occasionally be overrated.

Oh…. and I can also say BLECHH !!

See Claude, be careful what you wish for especially when wearing a green T.shirt!

Spiritual journey, my foot. He’s nodding off and she’s about to bring him back to the land of the living.

Flies on the wall don’t live to a ripe old age.

Okay Cleo………who’s gonna wash that wall??!!!!!

And Cleo accomplishes in one swipe what took me hours of painstaking dissection!
