Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 24, 2008

Perhaps it was the frijoles he consummed.

Sense of wonder and awe–the Universe!

Watch out, NH & Stel, there’s an avalanche just waiting to drop on you!

What is UP with those trouser legs there, Carl?

Hello, Cleo People…!

We’re meeting here at Carl and Mimi’s house, to post our comments on

today’s BRAND NEW, all-original Sept 24th  2018 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can read on Sherpa, just like the re-runs, only fresher….

OK, “all new” except for a big table-top, borrowed from the prop room at “Garfield” ….

But I’m sure Nighthawks is going to give that back….

just as soon as he locates a big enough one for Cleo, at a price he can actually afford.

It’s hard buying large parts for a comic strip on the salary of a Sherpa cartoonist.

I know we all like to think he makes the big bucks…. but now I see how that won’t start happening without this table.

Thanks, Jim Davis, for the loan…

and, um…. if you didn’t know about it…. never mind.

“Nighthawks?”

Never heard of ’im.

Meanwhile…. I’m glad Carl went outside.

His thinking was starting to take up the whole darn living room….

And we need space to breathe…

and of course, relax and talk about that horrible pun.

“Bison” indeed.

I, for one, love the Classics.

“Did you get a haircut?”

“No, I got ’em all cut.”

“What’s the weather like in Mexico?”

“Chili today, hot tamale.”

“I’m leaving. Call me a taxi.”

“Okay, you’re a taxi.”

Oh…I forgot some other stuff….

Nighthawks…… I think you might need to say “lasagna” someplace in the dialogue, as well…

That sure helped Garfield, and I don’t think Davis has a copyright on it.

And “Rats!” and “Good grief” worked for Peanuts….

Also “sigh…” but I use that too much myself to want to lend it out.

Also, I left a reply to you listing more “mistakes” in yesterday’s strip…

Hope you saw it.

I realised a little while ago, though, that you actually did name five, not four….

if you count the ones in the speech balloon as two.

And if you don’t, well… I found plenty more.

Rotifer… you might want to read that post too.

Claude and Cleo, look out. Sometimes the downpour starts with nickels, and they can hurt!

Is Carl also looking for the money to pour out of the heavens?

Those big bucks will start to drop in about 50 years from now. It’ll take the people at this site that long to figure out how to move sherpa to the main page. Something that a 6 year old could do in about 50 seconds.

Cal’s thinking is starting to rival his gut.

Don’t let those big bucks trample you under foot.

Where do we sent the money?

P.S. Will you take a post-dated, third-party, out-of-state check?

New ’toon Monday!! Hooray!!

Would Cleo want those big bucks in Krugerrand or Dubloons?

Well, if that doesn’t make you a nationally syndicated comic strip, I don’t know what will!!!
