Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 17, 2023

Darrell learned from his previous marriage.

Darrell may not be able to stand up if he gets any more passive. Mabel appears not to notice Darrell’s servitude.

Darrell’s witty response to any reminder of it being trash day for the Bumblefuzzle household is rarely appreciated.

Keeps him out of trouble with She Who Must Be Obeyed.

Darrell’ cardboard seat insert seems to be holding up, Dennis, but the leg ones got crimped. Or did he buy the new foldable ones?

Did anyone find an “s” ? I’m missing one.

We’re not worthy

And she is enthusiastically ignoring him.

“Oh good grief Darrell, stand up!”

her personal pronoun is Empress

Finally!

No wonder Mabel ignores him – this was the same easy position he failed to accomplish causing them to lose the Ballard Twister Competition last night.

“Oh, all right, you can have the Comics Section…”

For heaven’s sake Darrell, Mabel’s not an alpha figure, she’s a prima-donna. Know your women folk.. sheesh.

Darrell is just plain scared of her……..she twists his nipples……………..0uch!

Good morning Balladeers!

Love is Strange.

The alpha figure seems to have a wide load.

He’d roll onto his back and expose his tummy, but with those cardboard inserts, he’d never get back up.

Darrell considers himself a sex abject.

this could get VERY political if we aren’t careful

The only words a man needs to know are:" Yes Dear" ‘Of course Dear" Whatever you want Dear " Yes Dear you’re right again" " Yes I do not have any issues with your mom moving in Dear"

If mama ain’t happy….

As with most such “alpha figures”, she does not even notice her own dominating behavior.

Showing off his newly installed, sharp creased cardboard inserts. He couldn’t stand up if he wanted to.

darrell does his best apologizing japanese executive impression…
