Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 04, 2021

Is that Scooter? You owe Bob a pair of pants (happily provided by my emporium, Ballard Fabric, Trouser and Carburetor Rebuild. As well as myriad bills on the ground,

Is that Hertimer passing out fake money again? Honestly, half of Ballard tried to buy something and the other half called the SHERIFF. His deputy was busy for days!

I am sometimes asked why I do not provide a more durable, dog-resistant fabric. Well you see, by the time a pair of trousers is chewed up, they are out of fashion anyway. It is called “Planned obsolescence.” Ballard fashion changes rapidly. Fortunately for me, so far the cardboard inserts remain en vogue.

I’m not sure if Scooter is upset about Bob not sharing the loot with him or if he is making a statement about Bob’s sweater.

Free human flesh.

Too bad Bob wasn’t walking the other direction so he could get the bad experience out of the way.

Were the bills marked before Scooter got to them?

Taking money from that doggie is not smart

Free dog.

He grabbed just enough money for the E.R.

Suing the dog’s owner might bring in some cash.

He lost his head.

He needs to find a taller tree.
