Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 11, 2016

Oh no Bev and you got all dressed up and everything!That stuck up Ginny rigged the votes, I just know she did!I love your new plastic coat, can I borrow it?

The heck with the coat, I just got a load of your shoes! I want those!

Is it “before Labor Day” yet? Pretty summery if you come out west, Bev.

Shall we “accept her?” That’s a pun, but on this strip you don’t really need to say that. (:-)

Where do I report seeing a flying sorceress?

I know, Bev….

Well. I voted for you.At least three times.

And I was so happy with your nails.They would have been so perfect with the gown….

Well, never you mind.

There are 1287 other clubs on Ballard Street….. 1362 if you count…. well, you know….But I don’t.We’ll vote you in as Grand Mistress…. or Queen… or President…. or… um… Empress….of one of them, if I have to vote 46 times!.

Wow! That is one fancy hair dryer they got over there at the BBB (Ballard Beauty Boutique )Or is it Triple D ? That would have the other men of the neighborhood saying " Heh, heh, heh…he said ‘triple D’ "

Getting back to the cartoon:KEWL! Does it fly?It would look good in the Alien Days parade this weekend.

She looks ready to make the jump to warp speed.

Last Rose of Summer in her new Propulsion Club outfit…

Before becoming the Queen of Propulsion, wasn’t she the Princess of Thrust?

One thing about Beviek being the Propulsion Club Grand Mistress is that she’s experienced.She’s been pushing around a lot of hot air for years, now.

Sorry, Bev ! Couldn’t resist. Let me my you a ’nanner daq ?

Is it because she’s the one who creates the strongest tailwinds?

Um…. Bev…..You’re one of my bestest friends ever… so you know I say this with utmost love and devotion (in a friend sort of way, of course. ) But Empress of Ballard County??? Are you out o….never mind…. sorry…. just got a little carried away….(deep breath)

Sorry Bev…. but we have no election currently scheduled for that position….. in fact, we have no such position.Be sure to check back in case it becomes available….

Meanwhile…. it looks like you got your wish anyway!

Congratulations!

And of course you can keep the nails.Now that you need them, and even if that hadn’t happened.

I’d never have come and taken them off your fingers!!

As for Daddyhc’s …um… gifts…. what could possibly go wrong?
