Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 27, 2023

Yeah, Ben, you should have thought a bit more before moving in next door to a giant, for instance, you should have found out whether not he is clumsy.

Must be Wonder® bread………

Like, where will he find a toaster for it?

His rather large next door neighbor likes to feed the birds. Ben was whistling. Nothing good will come from this.

That looks like a mattress disguised as bread.

Ben’s diary would later report: Less yeast. More tethers.

Yes, not tbsp but tsp of yeast.

Ben now realized what a mistake he made planting those magic beans.

Ben, did you try growing giant breadfruit, perchance?

… then the UFO ducked behind a cloud. Ben considered how soft and comfortable it looked and then realized, once he fell asleep they’d probably drop another on top of him. And then… well .. that part part he didn’t need to consider; he had no intention of lying on it.

Is it perhaps the return of WONDER BREAD in the super jumbo loaf?

Ben always was the bread winner in the family…

“Fee-Fi-Fo-Fen, jelly side on the bottom again…”

Wow, thought it was a mattress???

I’ll say.. that’s one large slice of bread. I’d be thinking of perhaps moving.. perhaps a good pinch to see if this was a dream, or possibly cutting back on that new tobacco.

On the British sitcom “The Young Ones” a giant sandwich lands on someone (actually not the strangest thing to happen) – hippie Neil starts to lift it and recoils in horror – “It’s meat!”

Good morning Balladeers!

The butter’s dropping next and it ain’t gonna be pretty.

The important thing is: Was it butter-side up or butter-side down?

Ben may have to start all loaf-er again.

He’s going to need a bigger toaster with a weaker spring.

At least the little birdies will be happy!

Thinking,“Gonna need a bigger jar of peanut butter…”

Thus was bred a new concept of ‘flour in the flower bed’.

Anyone have a phone number for the Fortean Society?

his neighbors were really impressed with all the bread ben had…

It’s always good to have a lot of bread, Ben!
