Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 31, 2023

an interesting profession …. yawn

I don’t know why Jerry even tries any more, the hamsters always win.

The hamster running the wheel in his head disappeared long ago.

Jerry dominates the “Breeder’s Cup” almost every year.

Careful where you step. All those tiny pellets everywhere. The Ballard Health and Tree trimming Dept. Has been notified.

Number 13 is Jerrie’s favorite—-’The Jinxson Special".

Are they in competition with the KIA® hamsters ?

Does anyone know, can hamsters run fast? UMm… what about guinea pigs?

More like Rodent Racers.

Where can I get some of that sweet JerryJenkins merch?

Last one gets roasted for lunch.

Good morning Balladeers.

And, like Calvin, Jerry’s favorite bedtime story was (is), “Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooie”… ㋡

Someone played a cruel joke on Jerry selling him short tail rats.

He’ll race a hamster? Dam!

JJ loves the sound of hamsters scurrying aimlessly around.

Ha! Place your bets!

The Jenkins family is not noted for their intelligence. Jerry’s older brother Leroy “That &#$% idiot tank” Jenkins is a prime example. His habit of yelling his name just before charging into trouble has made him something of a notorious name among adventurers for many years now.

Your half a dozen charges there are doing no training that I can see, Jerry. What do you do to motivate your athletes?
