Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 26, 2024

Anna one, anna two, what has three legs and a dick on it?

It looks like Aloysius is up grading his drum set.

Yeah not good. That will drown out Jonathon’s Air Horn.

Not only that, but they don’t want to work, just bang on that drum all day.

Storm’s a-comin’, by thunder!

Good morning Balladeers!

Oh, dear, there goes the neighbourhood.

Does that thing summon a giant ape?

No, it’s not. That drum will stop his chickens from laying eggs.. and just when production was picking up.

Jonathan is the only clear thinker on the street

This is bound to have repercussions.

Wait until he sees them carrying in the massive ear plugs.

Wait till Jonathan hears their rendition of dance to the music, by sly and the family stone.

“Have you met the new neighbors? Apparently they are opening a kodo drum studio to supplement their retirement. "

And the rest of the taiko group will be arriving later.

The world record for a drop in property value.

Time to break out the bagpipes again & drive this neighbor away thinks Jonathan.

When the Kodō drummers move in next door.

and that’s just one drum of the whole set!

Jonathan is very astute.

jonathan’s not gonna get a bang out of this…

He must have done something pretty bad to his neighbor that his neighbor wants to get back at him so loudly!!!!
