Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 12, 2018

Are you sure he’s not in no show business?

Who knew?

Is he more “Lewis”, or more “Springer”?

The previous guest left a comb and…..a large piece of dandruff?

Next guest will be Dr. Nicholas Camembert, Chair of the Department of Erratic Behavior at Ballard University, who will explain, with amusing anonymous anecdotes, the history and current state of “The Ballardian Mind”.

Who cares?

We interrupt this program for this important bathroom break.

I always knew drawing this comic strip couldn’t be Jerry’s full time job!

He’s always had an agenda… familiarizing us with all the denizens of Ballard Street…. their manners and mores..

getting us to patronise Ballard St stores….

Some of us even live here now.

And now the increased population and greater visibility have created a built-in audience for his show.

Wait… his… um… radio show?

Jerry, I’m pretty old myself….. but if you want more fame than what you can achieve as a cartoonist….

even I  think radio is kinda… well… passé.

You oughta try TV…. or even better… YouTube.

Yeah… with YouTube you need a lot less equipment…..

so the startup costs are low.

I know the web is more unfamiliar than radio….

but if you don’t understand it…..

don’t you have somebody…. like maybe a grandkid… who can help?

Whatever you do…. please don’t stop making new “Ballard Street”’s!

The Green room is flourishing.

Kramer called, and he wants yada yada yada.

Every morning except Sunday.

I think Jerry Lewis will be a no show.

Don’t go away; I’ll be back in 5 minutes!

Jerry’s got a great face for radio !

The Mic dropped Jerry…

Jerry is on the run. His guest was Tom!

Wheeeerrrreee’s Jerry?!

Oh, dear! It looks like someone forgot to line up a guest host for Jerry today.

Wheeeeeeere’s Jerry?

If that’s what it takes…

But, Jerry, don’t give up your (other) day job…

“For my first guest let’s welcome my old friend ,Ben.”
