Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 12, 2023

Woe betide

I see that Allen hasn’t been living on Ballard St. long enough to lose most of his hair.

if that’s the happy face, please don’t show me the sad one

May I politely point out that the problem might be his choice of wardrobe? Dennis! I thought we agreed that you would stop selling those lame dog sweaters to humans!

….and his cardboard inserts are creased. Egads man!

Allen is wrenched with dread

Good morning Balladeers!

Well, Allen, happiness depends on you.

Live for today Allen! we all know what may happen tomorrow!!!

Poor happy guy…

Sooo, he’s an Allen Wretch?

(¬_¬)

Allen gets depressed every time someone spells his name Allan. Which happens a lot.

Allen needs to live in the moment and forget about tomorrow…

Life has not been easy for Allan’s two friends either, every morning they dread answering the phone.

He’s thinking of tossing another of his wrenches in the Works.

That’s right, Allen. Happiness, like glory, is fleeting.
