Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 25, 2023

yeah ….. he forgot the tail

You gotta change the gear ratio, too.

Paul decided that if people were going to call him a chicken, then he would show them just how much of a chicken he could be.

But Paul! You have a pedal-powered, mechanical chicken! Sacrifices must be made.

And the neighborhood dogs all add to his problems.

Paul pines for the simpler days of wearable sandwich-board advertising.

Lower back problems are the least of Paul’s problems.

Cock-A-Dood-Ouch!

But it’s worth it, right Paul?

C’mon Paul, I’m still waiting for my Chicken Delight Order.

Good morning Balladeers.

It’ll never take off.

The people on Ballard Street got together and signed a petition to make Paul remove the loud speaker with the rooster crow recording. That was a bit much even for Ballard Street.

Paul is a clucking contraption of a third kind!

Not to mention all the times the chains get fowled. Wattle happen then!?

( ͡ ﹏ʖ ͡  )

Back problems aside, that is one clever application of sprockets, pulleys and chain. Bet a doughnut Paul did not get that from Amazon.

He needs to talk to the Pulley Club. I’m sure they could figure out a way to make those wings flap.

Riding that rooster has given him a pain in his cockyx.

Van Amerongen is a genius!

Lower back problems? I would have thought, “no brain, no pain”.
