Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 13, 2023

Martin honestly believed he was a Martian. Please turn off all electronic devices during take off…

Will he ever make it home in that rig?

Odds are 5 to 7 that he will be down at the Ballard St. Trauma Center and Pet Shop at dinner time.

his wife’s cooking is that bad, eh?

Martin experienced “rapid unscheduled disassembly”.

No wings and no wheels. Which way is he planning on going?

He will probably get a tasty I.V. drip at the hospital.

He won’t be home for dinner, but Martin will be getting his just desserts in 5, 4, 3,…

Do you know what really burns my a$$? A rocket strapped to my back

Love his combo wind sock and anemometer. That ought to work as well as most things on Ballard Street.

Maybe his heavenly home if he lights up that rocket.

Good morning Balladeers!

To boldly go where no man has gone before .

He should get at least an Honorable Mention at the next Darwin Awards…

But he will have a fine rump roast!

He’ll get a big bang out of this!

Or breakfast.

Martin is much more concerned with launch than dinner.

Game, set, match.

Ever!

…depending on the wind direction.

Martin was later nicknamed Judge Crater by explosives experts.

Martin will never be back this way in this lifetime.

His wife should never have let him strike out on his own.
