Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 27, 2015

Sandra’s off her meds again.

No! Nancy! Not the bunny! (Happy, do not look)

Jerome is also Ballard’s Fashion Forward Award winner for 1987, That tie is what got him the trophy. Now he’s taken to wearing earrings too, he should get new dentures tho, talking to him means bits of pizza all over your clothes.

Larry upped his Seroquel prescription without telling his Shrink. When he falls, and he will, everybody hide!

You notice Pompador’s are a popular hair style (with those that have hair) in Ballard?Dunbar and Marquis over at the Mens Hair and Toenail Salon are very adept with hair. Visit them sometime, and let their nimble fingers run through yours.

Steve is such a pushover.

Old broad is stronger than she looks…

Sandra is always a little touchy towards the end of the month. She gets very edgy on the days leading up to the pension check delivery.It’s her own fault. Her great distrust of all things electronic – especially related to the internet – has kept her reliant on snail-mail for everything.Gene tried to convince her that direct deposit was the way to go but she’d have none of it. She wanted that government check right in her hot, little sweaty hand. Now we all know how fickle the USPS delivery system is in Ballard. Postmistress Marcia Misplacia and postman Harvey Slowtrack do their best but…

Sandra’s anxiety is understandable. Especially, since she worried about the covering the check she wrote to StelBel for the inflatable flamingo for the front lawn.We all know how Stel feels about bounced checks !!!

Are the only actual legs on the chair in the back? (One hidden behind Sandra.)

Tornado Sandra stops at nothing. Her fury will not be contained. Irritated by his constant huffing to the news and denying her access to her beloved funnies she took matters into her own hands drawing upon her Tornadic powers to tip him over and take the paper for her own pleasure.

Mist & the Last Rose – great past Ballard Street comics to go with this one. I always enjoy those

Stan, I know, you never saw this coming. The plan was real simple, Gunsmoke reruns, maybe some cookies, or crackers and cheese, some peanut butter for Rusty Boy just a spoonful and that’s about it. The long walk down the hall and up the stairs, in to bed and that’s about it. But NO….like lightning, bolts of adrenaline, the Sirens from Hell, Sandra has made her presence felt. If Walter ever asks if you have been in a tornado tell him yes and mean it.

That’s not really an easy chair.

Nelson was never on good terms with his appliances.They don’t like him either.

And Darrell is about to wear stripes…

I suspect all this angst in Ballard is caused by the emissions from the new Gas Emission Plant. It was supposed to smell like daisies, but…………alas, The Triphipper Twins were in charge of Smells and Emanations and you all know how well that went. Bernie and Mernie aren’t known for their mental capacity, even with those enormous heads.

Unseen in this tableau are the grandkids, for whom Sandra was singing “I’m a little teapot” when she got carried away at the end.

Don’t think I’ll “stick around” to see the outcome!

Sandra’s real feelings are STRONG, so when she lets them out, things get a tad unruly.

heddin up to the top of teh fridje… gunna take a NAP….SuSun wake me wen ya git in okey…??zzZZZZZ.ZZZZ………zzzzzzzz

Good Night Ballard Dears.Good Night Munkey! Sleep tight, don’t fall off the refrigerator!

beviek GoComics PRO Member said, about 21 hours ago, something about drinking and Lord Chesterfield.-————————-Or one could say, “I would love to, but one little drink makes me want to sleep on a Chesterfield, and I think he advises against it.”

Don’t get ’em confused.____________-Now, as IF! That looks like Mick Jagger.
