Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 22, 2024

That deserves a punch in the nose!

Ted’s brother-in-law, the paper-weight boxer

I do believe that every family has a Herbie in some way

Now we know why Ted was trying to come up with an excuse yesterday, he heard that Phil was coming to visit and was hoping to be somewhere else when it happened.

Ted is not into corrugated, Herbie.

Hortense, his big sis, is so proud of him. Jut look at her, smiling fondly. The rest of the gathering are putting on their coats and getting out the car keys.

Surprise!

Hey! Check out the inside of this box!

Ted’s wife seems to take pleasure in Herbie’s surprise visits.

Herbie probably has pet cats.

Someone needs to box Herbies ears.

Herbie is very proud of his new “Peek-a-Boo” line…

Ted doesn’t mind – at least this way he can eat his cookies in peace.

Ted gets his boxes for free when he buys online merchandise.

Ted’s brother in law should be selling cardboard inserts. He’d make a fortune.

Perfect fit!!

Good morning Balladeers.

I’m guessing Ted is wearing his smile upside down under that box.

Wait till he starts playing the corrugated accordion.

Haven’t seen Ted since Boxing Day.

Still thinking inside the box.

Hey, Herbie! Love the checked sport coat and popped collar. Lookin’ smoooooth. ;>)

herbie’s just your carton variety brother-in-law…

Herbie’s sister, Ernestine, thinks her little brother os adorable.

Good night, Ballard Dears!
