Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 13, 2023

Chad will learn all about recklessness when Mildred sees what he did to the side of her favorite chair.

Michael Knight, later years.

Must have been the guy in the Maxell ads

A niffy flame decal on the side of a chair will do that to a person.

Not a lounge chair, it’s a launch chair.

No La-Z-Boy for Chad.

Warp factor 1 Mr. Sulu.

I’m glad he is enjoying his chair…because he looks too big to heave himself out of it ans his ankles would never stand the strain of that weight.

People in Ballard have got to stop buying furniture from Cheap Charlie’s Chairs and Cushions. I swear that thing is covered in cat fur.

Chad must think he is recklessly going whitewater rafting in those flood pants.

As long as someone doesn’t put wheels on his chair, he’ll be okay.

When he flips the lever and leans back he can lie there all day. The motif already gives the appearance of “pants on fire”.

He’s already planning on how to trick out his wheel chair when he moves to the old folks home.

Good morning Balladeers!

A Biker chair, next step a few ‘tats’.

Chad ! You wild man you !

This is because of that accidental “Wheelie” you did last week, isn’t it Chad?

“Hey Mildred, wanna drag?”

Mildred always said that all that Nitro in Chad’s diet would result in “Flame-Outs”…

It’s a safe place to do that Chad, in fact let it all out, go as reckless as you can. Mildred won’t be back for at least 20 minutes.

The chair has the attitude!

Chad is a Nascar fan!

You can’t see the 2-inch airfoil on the back. The armrests have been slightly modified to resemble fins. All he needs is a shirt with “go-faster” stripes. :)

Chad’s long-time obsession over The Human Torch increases daily.

Chad takes somewhat seriously his volunteer role as baked bean test pilot.

Wanda detests Chad’s chair-bound shouts, “Pull my finger! Pull my finger!”

…in his imagination, anyway

Shouldn’t he be wearing a helmet???? :)

Somebody doesn’t understand what you’re supposed to do in a La-Z-Boy.

And when the Mrs. sees what he did to the chair, Chad will really be in the hot seat.

Chad zooms in his chair like there’s no tomorrow. Vroom! Vroom!

The absence of socks a daring touch to Edgelord Chad.
