Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 15, 2024

for Tat!!!! Couldn’t use the first word, was on the so-called ban list. If I was a cartoonist, then it would have been okay.

Ben suspects that the IRS, the FBI, and Maude, his wife, are all watching his every move. He may be right about two of the three.

T‍it for tat

I suspected as much.

OK, I’m attempting to put a description of him down and it keeps erasing the descriptive words. And they aren’t anything a 6 year old wouldn’t say. Strange…

Well, the election was only last week and buyers remorse is setting in..

Okay Ben, clean your mind of some suspicions while clean your glasses. Repeat number one each time you do number two to sleep well tonight.

This is not really a joke. Try it.

I’m paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?

Meta cognition at work?

♪♫ “I just dropped in to see what suspicion my suspicion was in…” ♪♫

Suspicious of his suspicious suspicions?

I just dropped in, to see, what condition Ben’s suspicions were in.

Suspicion( torments my heart)

Suspicion( keeps us apart)

Suspicion( why torture me?)

Good morning Balladeers!

That’s what happens when you don’t have any hobbies to take your mind off things.

Bob has just realized there are more TV stations available on Ballard St. than Fox News. And… is suddenly afraid.

he’s come up with some theories about his conspiracy theories…

I feel the same way when I’m wearing my fishnet trousers.

Growing suspicious of his suspicions? That’s sanity creeping in.

Ben’s suspicions are suspect.

Gooo afternoon, Ballard Dears.

Next is fears about his fears.

ben has a sneaking suspicion hiding in the bushes behind him…
