Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 26, 2023

in case he survives … of course …

What Larry really wants is to get away from Marion.

Hmmmm…at that angle and with a strong enough spring, he might be able to make it across the street, but not much more. I hope somebody has set up a net to catch him.

Ask him that question in one minute.

His sub really puts a spring in his step.

I’d wait until his landing to see if he’ll still be around to need it.

“To the moon……”

At least wait until he finishes this trial before sending in the subscription payment.

I am trying to figure out how that trigger works.

That’s worth of ACME and Wile E. Coyote.

Want? Needs to!

The neighbor’s azaleas are in for a surprise.

wait a minute

Sure, he’ll need something to read in the hospital.

My my, a flying Dodo!

That looks like a very bad idea.

Natural Gas Propulsion just wasn’t enough for you, was it, Larry?

In order to make this project happen, Larry had to create a thrust fund.

Blanche was relieved to learn that Larry’s talk of shooting himself was simply a misunderstanding.

Larry: Only if I come back!

“Yes, Mildred — it balances out my sub to Inertia Weekly.”

Good morning Balladeers.

I always thought he was a self-starter.

It comes with a complimentary $500 Accidental Death & Dismemberment policy.

Kind of a catch 22 situation.. if this one works, won’t be need a renewal and if it doesn’t, well…. just something for the executor of his estate to cancel.

Larry succeeds as a ‘loose cannon on deck’!

Yeah, Larry will drop his subscription when he figures out how personal propulsion works, Until then, he needs it.

Larry needs to step up his game. He’s going nowhere fast.
