Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 23, 2009

Looks like it has a lot of get up and go.

You know, that shark cage idea is looking more and more practical for this strip.

Wow! Hybrid technology. 4 jet engines and a 2 stroke!

So this is retirement stage.

“And it runs on regular gas!!”

Everyone should have a hobby…. “Bang….Zoom…Alice.. to the moon”

If he makes it to the Mitchell’s house, Rachael may suddenly decide that they’re going to be out of town on Saturday.

So, Claude forgot to turn off the breaker before changing the switch. Again.

“If you make it to the Mitchell’s …” leaves so much unsaid. If it starts at all? If he gets that far? If he happens to pass that way? If he survives?

On the bright side: They did call a technician after all.

What’s so special about Saturday night?

Well, ain’t that a switch!

Ding-dong the switch is dead

Which old switch, the wicked switch

Cleo forgot to tell Claude to flip the circuit beaker that said which room the electric was in.

Happy first day of autumn everyone.

Forget to turn off the circuit breaker again, did he?

How do you find the right circuit breaker if the light won’t come on in the first place?

MMM has learned about 55 years ago that he is a Rocket Scientist, and not a mechanic. We call for professional help instead of Claude’s method.

Some people are smart and other people are Claudes

It’s not difficult as long as you can see what you’re doing. I got pretty adept at holding a D-cell flashlight in my mouth as I worked…

Hi Susan!

Hey! I’ve got an idea! The dude from today’s 10 year old Ballard Street looks pretty mechanically inclined. May be could go to Cleveland and help Claude with the light switch!

Problem solved!

(I know – I know – sometimes I even surprise myself)
