Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 21, 2022

Arthur needs to cut back a tad on his medications.

Here am I trying to figure out why Roscoe’s entire undercarriage carries a light blue color. And … where is his lower jaw?

If that intensity jerks forward, Arthur’s face will be depressed against the sidewalk.

No matter what his mood is, Arthur should not be doing a pirouette while Roscoe is about to chase a squirrel.

While Roscoe is loosely restrained,

… Arthur is almost completely un-restrained

“I feel pretty,

Oh so pretty…”

I’ll have what he’s having, please…!

Where is one of Mr. Findley’s traps when you need one?

I’m quite found of my antidepressants also.

I wonder what he’s on?

I want what he’s having.

I’m not sure that Arthur’s not yowling because of his scrunched little finger… ☺

He’s pretending to be in the Sound of Music!!!

Just saw a headline yesterday – studies show antidepressants don’t make people happier. They just keep them from griping to their doctor. I tried some for a month when I mentioned to the doctor I had been feeling a little depressed. OMG! I nearly became homeless before I figured out I had to stop taking them. This was after only a couple of weeks and the withdrawal was horrible. Clue: everybody gets depressed once in a while. Don’t let them shove drugs at you unless it is truly disrupting your life.

Most of Ballard St is offset by Arthur’s.. um, enthusiasm.

But on another note, is anyone else’s “view comments and view notifications” all screwed up and backwards.

Wish my antidepressant made me feel like Arthur! Mine barely keeps me on an even keel.

Posters are commenting that their antidepressants don’t work like that for them. Maybe Arthur’s antidepressants aren’t prescribed or OTC.

Arthur is a little off-putting.
