Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 14, 2023

He certainly exhausts his poor wife with all the fun.

The fun and games will really start when Scooter sees that mask.

At least he has the mask on right. He’d never get to sleep with those eyes staring back at him.

It’s even more natural after he’s had a look at Enid’s hair in curlers.

Enid has learned to fall asleep quickly. The Cat mask is tame compared to the others.

Maybe a sleepier mask would help.I am trying to post a sleeping fox mask but having some trouble, maybe because I spilled a bottle of water on my keyboard a couple hours ago.

Enid needs a squirt bottle filled with water.

Good morning Balladeers!

Settle down, Reggie, or you’ll want to nap all day tomorrow.

Reggie’s no veggie! BTW, Reg, tonight at 1:30AM, use the human bathroom. Enid has vowed revenge if you use the Litter Box again…

Reggie cat face reality.

Where does Jerry find these people?! Lol!!

I think separate bedrooms might save this marriage. Where Reggie could sing that classic “Counting Flowers on the Wall” by The Statler Brothers.

This makes me wonder if someone makes a “cat’s eyes” sleep mask. :)

Brenda would prefer Reggie to purr in bed.

Great stuff! Bedtime was never more fun!

His poor wife

I’m not sure whether to envy or pity him, though I do have inclinations.

reggie just can’t mask his delight…

Reggie is … Top Cat! He’s the indisputable leader of the gang. He’s the chief, he’s a king, but above everything, he’s the most tip top, Top Cat!

Enid finds her curlers distract her from hearing Reggie meow all night.
