Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 14, 2013

I know just how he feels! Awake at 3:45, sitll awake at 6:00. I hate that!

It seems like everyone on Ballard Street these past few days has been unhappy.

Just shift the goal posts, Chris and become a Nap Champion.

I sleep poorly sometimes, but I take rich advantage of it.

cap’n…. “they?”

Chris needs to make a visit to Al’s Pro Sleep Center! They’ll get him back on track….

…don’t we all?

Good morning Dry.

Obviously, Chris missed the September 8th issue of Ballard LIFE and the articles on napping!

Naps Anytime, Anywhere…

Naps: Sharing A Nap

The Sheriff sure has it down to a science!:

Roger’s fish suit appears to be the coziest napping accessory, but I’d style mine in a bird design.

The Anytime photos make it appear that nothing ever gets done on Ballard Street, but the residents accomplish quite a lot when awake.

The dogs definitely have it down, especially Reggie. I too curl my toes after a good . . . nap.

Get used to it, Chris!

Thanks, I.M. ! Are you and Spot all hunkered in for the snow today!

Its Saturday Chris, take heart and be joyful; you are but one among many. Resolve to only accept compliments today; upgrade all your wants to preferences and be thankful for your skinny legs and broad stripes. Do you see the humor in wrestling with yourself and if you can’t give it up at least go to tag team, that way you can rest some of the time? On the other hand, isn’t it ironic that knowing you can’t get anything right is the only thing you got right? Life is funny that way. So get up and get going, if you can’t think your way out of this conundrum then slug it out with the rest of us.

to Dry …

Great issue, Stel…..

And Bev…. whoa… that’s some … um… powerful soup.

You guys do remember that I work part time at Al’s?

Meanwhile…… while you wait for the Fireman….

I’ve got some fresh chicken noodle……

Sounds like DRY and Number 6 need some of StelBel’s Down Home Chicken Soup. Good for what ails you.

@ DryGet well soon, and I hope to see you back ASAFP.

For Dry

Good night Dry

Good morning Dry.

Don’t worry, X. None of us would flag you.

Happy has some toes that need tickling ;-D

I know that cartoonists are entitled to time off (as the rest of us are) but I do miss this strip on a Sunday.

I’m glad I have a dog, otherwise I might get lonley…

Could fireman make some hot soup for me too? Now I have it. A cold, that is. I feel lousy. Snuffle.

Sweetheart really is the best HAPPY.

I know that feeling.

And I’d prefer chocolate to this for my birthday:
