Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 15, 2020

Obviously, anger issues.

That’ll teach it, Mark!

Naturally, the next time Mark gets near that door, it’s going to shred him right down to his skivvies. Thankfully, we won’t have to be there for it.

Bad door!

cause fixing it was out of the question.

Mark needs to be screened for mental issues.
