Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 28, 2023

“tell him I don’t want to see him”

At last, a waiting room that I could really enjoy.

“You plan on lying around all day? You’re hired!”

Is that a Madame Deuxcouleur on the wall? Long time since we have seen one!

You know the saying “The proof is in the pudding.”

Well Florian (“Red”) Pepper has his own preferred variation. I’m sure you can guess. It’s “the proof is in the pepper.”

Snore, snik, huh? What?

If you get thirsty, you can see Dr. Pepper.

She really fits squarely in that chair.

“Oooooooh – just five more minutes, Mom…”

Sales are apparently flat at the moment.

Rather than snoozing you’ll be sneezing on a Pepper Mattress.

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

I have tested your mattress and found it wanting.

But you do not want to see Pepper’s partner, A. Salt…

( ͡   ͚ ͚ʖ ͡  )

LOL!

Hit the snooze button lady, gonna take me a few minutes to get up, might even need help.

Ah, wake me again in fifteen minutes……

In order to stay awake, Arthur resists a rest.

We may need to call the Pulley Club to get him up.

You have to wait 30 minutes but you get to take off your shoes.

Mr Pepper?! I’m waiting for Dr Pepper.

One of the rarely experienced perks of being a coil spring salesman!!!

So, is Mr. Pepper pickled?

I just came here for a nap.
