Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 27, 2022

Not unlike an anchor.

Walter gets so wrapped up in his hobbies, and Vivian just gets the worse migraines.

Vivian has an ad in the local paper, looking for a Boy Scout who knows how to tie knots. She is also digging a large hole in the back yard….wonder why?

If the girls just move their chairs up a few feet, the joke will be on Walter.

Everyone here should take this Caution tape very seriously.

Meanwhile, Vivian’s friend looks very amused!

For the longest time, I thought it said “VMan’s life”… and I wondered whether Walter had maybe invented a new superhero.

But what is represented here that starts with V?

It obviously isn’t “Victory.”

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Hi Susan!

Vivian sighs and gets out the ✂️…

Walter seems to weigh more and more on Vivian’s life….

Those folk on Ballard St have some strange customs, but this one escapes me.

Look at her friend checking out Walter’s tape roll.

Of course, to Vivian, he’s more of an “anchor”. :)

I don’t know. He seems to think the gravity will shut off suddenly, and everything will float away, but he doesn’t have tape on Vivian and Mrs. Higglepooper. I guess saving the furniture is more important. Sigh. He really shouldn’t be watching space movies. He’s so impressionable.

Now I get it, it s a senior citizen village!

Gotta keep them gals from runnin away!!!
