Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 22, 2021

I guess that Archie will have to run an extension cord down into mommy’s basement.

I’ve been having computer problems and was without one for three days this last week. It was bad enough that I can’t say anything bad about Archie.

There has to be one…all houses have at least one. Oh that’s right. Archie. He couldn’t find his ear in the dark. With a map.

The anatomy of the citizens of Ballard is astounding. That particular pair of legs…you know with the new elastic top socks on sale at Dennis"s Ballard Fine Men’s Wear and Turtle Emporium would go a long way to keep Arch from tripping over his droopy stockings.

Archie’s not “alive” unless he’s “plugged in”.

It’s been that way since he ended his friendship with Artie and Lyle. https://www.gocomics.com/ballardstreet/2021/11/15?ct=v&cti=2112925

…and he feels fine.

Archie is not alone, without an electrical outlet most of our youth’s social life would end as well

If he fails in his mission and can’t find an outlet, Archie has sworn that no-one on Ballard Street will ever hear the end of it for the rest of their lives… They believe him…

(With a tip-o-the-cap to “The Big Bang Theory”)

For years, I lived in a house that had been made in the 1920s, which was a time when the area had been rural. There was only one pair of outlets in each room. Tricky.

Failure is a signal of Archie’s life!

What is worse is finding an outlet on an over loaded circuit! False hope!

Been there and its happen to me!

Sad. Archie was once Sponge Bob’s stylist.

TV is addictive. If you doubt this and you regularly watch one, try removing it – or them – from your home for two weeks. I guarantee that after week one you will be miserable, unhappy and depressed.

I was in a motel room like that once.

I understand that!

There must be something he can unplug. Does he really need a refridgerator?
