Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 21, 2017

Swing low, sweet chariot,

What are you looking for, Mickey? Birds, squirrels, bad guys? You guard that house, good dog.

It looks like Mickey is waiting for Gene to come running by again.

All the commenters other than me tonight are on their game.

It is no mystery to me. Mickey has run afoul of El Gato one more time. The animal once resided with Mrs Higgenpooder. The two were natured too much alike.

Mickey has his butt in a sling.

He’s wrapped up in the moment.

All dressed up with no place to go

So many mysteries – so few clues.

That curtain rod won’t take much more of this.

Opposable dewclaws.

Draperies, not drapes.

Mickey learned a few things during his sojourn with Cirque du Soleil.
