Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 26, 2023

Unless it’s you.

Trapping of game animals and fur bearers is illegal, but it’s OK to trap pest, so Doug is out of luck.

Not when you “Bring ’Em Back Alive"!

He should be wondering how that squirrel was able to construct a trap like that in the first place!!!

Not if the squirrels do it.

The pulley club was involved.

I thought Henrietta Hamhocker lived in Grimy Gulch.

Maybe it’s not a trap, Doug. Maybe it’s a cage to protect you from Land Sharks.

Wait til he find out it was Henrietta Spoonbinter. She decided the Ballard Husband Finders and Fine Bait was taking too long.

“Gladys! Call the exterminator. We’ve got Ewoks again.”

Good morning Balladeers!

Maybe somebody wants to take him out to the country side and let him go free.

Probably.

That is how Doug’s wife keeps from going to the local bar!

Ballard St council is taking an aggressive position on it’s anti smoking campaign and Ballard St Pulleys and Such were happy to help

The Ballard Street Catch & Release Club strikes again.

“Scooter!”

…

{"Mrs. Higglepooder warned me there’d be repercussions…"}

…

“This Fortnite Cosplay is getting out of hand!”

Doug and cover.

Another victim of a romance scam. He’s quite a catch!

Usually not if it’s a case of vermin removal.

Since when has a law actually stopped someone from doing something???

Doug’s gonna end up in an Erlenmeyer flask in an Area 51 lab.

doug doesn’t appear captivated…

Doug is thinking that he could use one of these for the wife next time he wants some alone time. But he fails to cotton to the fact that it was the wife who set this trap. Now they both have time alone.

Doug has the appropriate nick-name “Jungle Gym” for good reason.
