I've enjoyed Ballard Street for many years. I used to read it in the Swedish "The Far Side" comic book (called "Larson!") and loved every stupid little thing them dogs and elderly folks were up to.

Political Ballard Street, or just an accurate portrayal of old people?



This is oddly judgmental for Ballard Street. Then of course, the ones being judged aren't from Ballard Street itself, and really, who can you trust from the outside world?!

It's so obviously something completely different and mundane that she's confessing to.

Why yes, when I'm focused on writing, I like stopping every 2.30 - 3 minutes to change a 45 rpm record.

And seeing George Harrison in this awful strip* pisses me off. :mad:




*Not Nancy itself, of course, but this travesty of a zombie strip, &c.

You know you've made a good portrait when you have to cover a third of it with a label telling you who it is.

Also, modern Nancy is cancer, it amazes me that it's the same medium as Ballard Street, which is loving balls to the walls awesome.

One thing that is always true about Luann's plot switching every week is that every Saturday I'm like, "Thank god. Those are the worst people." And then on Monday I'm like, "Aww, poo poo. These are the worst people."



This is so hosed up. Like, really really 100% not cool.

I kinda feel like if you want to reference oppressive dictatorship these days, there are more timely examples than the South American banana republic.

These ones aren't quite as notorious in the public eye though. Don't think newspapers would like the idea of a cartoon child in North Korean-Buchenwald. Vaguely oppressive South America is much safer.

The bemused way Piro always looked made me assume that they would have him be gay or asexual or something.


Can't wait till Bernice realises he's also kissed that Babylonian Whore aswell! (Tiffany).

It means that it took this long for Bernice to figure out that she has nothing in common with Piro, and that he's just good looking and that is all that kept her interest up.

But don't worry, they're about to reveal that Piro has a big dark secret that means that he's not good enough for her anyway.

My Luann prediction: Bernice is going to realise she likes the dopey guy (seriously, he notes them as 4 minutes late? That's Bernice-level of asinine) but she gets cold feet because Piro kissed her which means she's legally his now also he's much hotter so there's that.
