Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 13, 2020

Todd’s just miffed that Ethel drank all of the hot spiced wine.

OK Todd, enough penance. Come back to the warm world of Ballard Street.

With the exception of Gloria, things have been very bleak on Ballard Street this week.

What pills are you taking, Gloria?

Overall, and not just on Ballard Street, it has not been a good week.

You can do better.

Well, it seems Todd stood out there a mite too long self flagella ting himself and now he’s in bed with a bad cold.

Our local Health District has him under quarantine and he is the starter in our Bowling team.

Nice going Todd….

Todd was just trying to prove what a cool guy he is. On Ballard Street, that ranks as self-improvement.

It has been decades since I have seen that type of rubber over boot with buckles. Simply standing and not walking much must keep them in pristine condition, is that right Todd?

Dummy!

All Todd needs now is for one of those icicles to drop down the back of his coat.

Poor guy.

Galosh, Todd, don’t beat yourself up about it. After all, you did beat Scooter at chess three out of five times…

Most of the crazies on Ballard Street revel in their crazy, but poor Todd needs to see his doctor about his depression. Very sad.

Todd wonders if this will be enough, sackcloth and ashes seem a bit excessive at this time considering it is still winter.

You’ll poke your eye out there!
