Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 30, 2024

With that hairdo and the paper in her hands, she really should have noticed.

Orville never could tell which way the wind was blowing.

with that hair-do, ma’am, I doubt you would…

Shoot , it’s his Pulley Club Initiation and he needs to show what he can do. He’s been practicing loop de loops.

It’s plane to see that her inattentiveness has not dissuaded him.

This is proof that ignoring a problem will not make it disappear.

An engine might be useful.

He’s directionless.

One of those do it yourself kits that the “Ballard St Pulleys & Rope” was flogging last week.

Hopefully she paid closer attention to paying his life and health premiums.

Things will surely be going south.

I think his Ailerons are loose…

His last name is Wright so he thinks he can!

To a blimp, every whisper is a hurricane.

No wind, otherwise it would be difficult reading the newspaper!

Good morning Balladeers!

It’s going to take a hurricane, to get that fuselage off the ground…

My my, just look at all the pulleys. ‘Dear’ does want to impress the others in the Ballard Street Pulley Club with his pulley panache.

Put a wind sock in it.

I guess she’s in the way of his take-off. Accidentally? Purposefully?

she’s no help so he’ll just have to wing it…

Just put Orville in a swivel chair. The wind itself will orient him properly.

It’s her hairspray. Orville will have to trust the winds of chance.

Good night, Ballard Dears!
