Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 27, 2021

Yes, now Mr. Harker is going to rain on Marcus’ parade.

Marcus can watch out for his unemployment check.

Those file drawers look wholly inadequate for a game of “watch out for the flood.” Mr. Harker, being senior and more experienced than Marcus, is apt to point out his error and suggest that a game of “the floor is lava” would be more suitable. (pun intended)

Mr. Harker: “You know, Marcus, you don’t have to pull your pant legs up while you’re safe in your drawers.”

Mr. Harker is thinking, “I really don’t want to deal with this crap on a Monday”.

He’s safe. Harker can’t get to him without stepping in the lava.

Marcus, Marcus. Got caught again using file drawers for feet boats.

It’s all fun and games until the boss shows up.

Don’t knock it.. this is an excellent way to save his wingtip brogues.

“Just immersing myself in my work, boss…”

“You’re floating on thin ice, Marcus…”

He’s getting down to work…..maybe?

Checking out his legs?

I guess I’m the only one concerned, that, the guy HAS NO FACE !

oh black water, keep on rolling

Good thing the boss didn’t catch him playing “The floor is lava” earlier…

“Herring boxes without topses…”

Marcus gets immersed in his work. Mr. Harker doesn’t see it that way, however.
