Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 21, 2023

mhm .. such a sharp eye

Say the Secret Woid and win an Easter Egg… or some Raisinettes®.

“Bananas” would be a better sign.

Irene wishes that Carl would limit is opinions to his side of the family.

Just a normal family gathering in Ballard. Over at the Hoochaclinkers Aunt Gertie is having a hot flash and is down to her garter belt and the brooch that Grandma left her.

Ted has gone down the rabbit hole

Uncle Ted is just hanging out until he finds Todd.

Uncle Ted is a wascally wabbit.

Aw. So much for the surprise.

BUNNY!

He’s no relation of mine.

Good morning Balladeers!

Uncle Ted refuses to use the bathroom, preferring to go behind Marge’s chair.

“Losing your hare, Carl?”

“I wish!”

…

“If Bambi shows up, I’m outta here!”

…

“Carl, what did you say you wanted for dinner?”

“Hasenpfeffer…”

Carl’s a man of the world, he knows stuff. Hard to pull the wool over his eyes..

Of course, they are thinking the sign applies to him.

Carl, Carl, Carl…have you ever seen the movie “Harvey”?

Uncle Ted has seen Battle of the Bulge 419 times.

Irene thinks that Carl is asking for the nuts and she’s about to crack some over his head if he comments on brother Ted again.

Ted comes out every Easter and sticks around until Christmas, when he dons his reindeer outfit.
