Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 15, 2021

Don’t sweat it, Gordy, you would have broke a rope on the red one too.

Yeah. Oldpine is right. You need to join the Ballard Losers Club. Meets every 6th Friday at the Ballard Ice Cream and Anchovy Parlor.

This is a red vs blue issue. The matrix is everywhere!

Well, it’s too late now, Baby, it’s too late.

Oh Gordy, soooo embarrassing!!!

It may also help Gordon to think that the color of the swing was the problem. The working load limit would have been exceeded regardless of the color.

Good metaphor for life.

I love the look on scooters face. :D

The story of Gordon’s life, always picks the wrong queue at the grocery store, picked the wrong wife.. wrong job, and today the wrong swing.

All that time at the Ballard Street Buffet and Dessert Bar finally caught up with Gordon.

Don’t be blue, Gord, go give Scooting Sparky (Sparkly Scooter?) a push!

Pretty sure the red swing would’ve felt the same strain from his butt

Pretty sure it would have the same outcome.

This is a classic Coyote moment on Ballard St. Time freezes while Gordon is thinking Oh @#$! before falling.

Oblique, though probably unintended, The Matrix reference here, with a lesson to be had within. Nice.

Gordon doesn’t realize the rope doesn’t care what colour of board is attached to it.
