Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 06, 2021

Ted is contemplating which of three mindless shows to watch on TV.

As long as they’ve been married, she should know by now how little goes on behind that bland face.

Connie’s changed Ted so much that now he doesn’t know what to think without her telling him.

Ted can’t be all bland…he’s wearing DOUBLE cardboard inserts! Only bold adventurous men wear doubles!

… Or Ted is wondering the same thing about Connie.

GIGO. (Garbage in; garbage out.)

Penny for your thoughts, Ted?

– - – - – “You’ve over paid.”

But Connie would be totally wrong.

“Theodore Walter Mitty, you tell me what’s going on in your head this minute!”

No, Connie, there isn’t. Ted is blissfully in a semi-conscious state.

Don’t be too sure…

…uh…

No, no there is not

He’s trying to figure out what that THING is on Connie’s forehead.

Pretty much tells it….

We’re not that complicated.

Those eyeglasses are hiding the fact that Ted is developing a universal moral philosophy.

Poor Connie.. she has been consoling so long she forgot Ted was declared a blank slate 2 years after they were married.

It doesn’t help that he’s still got a bit of spaghetti sauce there, either (And don’t call him Shirley!)… ㋡

Just for peace of mind, Connie should keep a small mirror handy.

Don’t be so sure Connie

Nope! Many have the uncanny ability to think about absolutely nothing – and it drives women crazy!

He had a thought. It hurt. He doesn’t want to try that again.
