Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 12, 2012

I think that Bob is a proud graduate of Essex’s Window Washing School and Chop Suey Take Out…

Points for unique and creative at least…

Bob’s sticking his neck out but he’s still ahead of the game.

Hope that’s not a used head device he has on!

I can testify that his muscles are well defined — they’re on page 348 of the “1987 Ballard St Elementary School Official Dictionary and Ladies’ Auxiliary Cookbook.”If you don’t have a copy, there’s one in the Ballard Street Elementary School Library, along with almost every edition from 1962 to 2003.(Somebody stole 1993 cos of the picture of … well, never mind, but it’s collectible now….and of course, it hasn’t been published since the canneloni recipe fiasco in 2004.)

Essex, I’m afraid you misunderstood yesterday.I wasn’t still waiting, I was waiting again.I understood you to have offered me a ride to Ballard Street the day before, in my favorite car, but I accepted too late in the day to catch you.So I visited friends and had a delightful time…. Yesterday morning I was waiting at the tea shop because I’d hoped perhaps the offer applied the next day…. but when you didn’t show, I took the #63 bus as usual…. I’d love to ride in the Hawk, of course…but I do have a social life, you know.

Dogsniff – actually it kinda makes my eyes glaze over.

Coincidentally, his friend Joe the Plumber can’t find his plunger….

And such poorly defined cranial lobes.

Growing up on Ballard Street, during Bob’s formative years, has had a profound impact on his approach to life’s challenges. Amen

Am I the only one whose brain creaks from the insane behavior of characters in this strip.

Glad to hear your still above ground Ess… SA is a nice place to visit this time of year… lottsa German food and microbrews… BTW theres an hombre’ by the name of Nacho waiting for you at the Greyhound station with a U-Haul van loaded with some freight, if you take posession and bring it back to BS, then I dont have to fly him back down there… I got a couple boxes of frozen Armadillo Eggs (see pic) and some bales of “Texas Hay”… umm for my Yak herd… (theyre tightly wrapped in freezer wrap so they wouldn’t get the inside of the van all dirty..)… thanks man, I got a room reserved for ya in El Paso, call me when ya get there…!! Adios (and good luck)

Sphincter muscles are developed also…

Golly gee Ess, I thought you liked my squirrel. His name is Merle.

Good thing you didn’t pick up that U Haul in SA… apparently Nacho was wanted in 7 states for illegal trafficking of un-taxed Armadillo eggs… they didn’t believe him when he tried to explain who the cargo really belonged to… welcome to TX…!!

MonkeyBlues — Thank you.Tomorrow morning, the monkeymoblile!But no monkey business, OK?People know me on Ballard St.Essex, you’ll go all the way to Texas just to have an excuse for forgetting to pick me up??That sounds like a song…“Oh, Essex ♫ ♪ done went all ♪ the way to ♪ ♫Texas..Caught hisself ♫ a bus to San Antone.♪..

PURPLIE!!!

Bob’s technique must be some sort of test-of-manhood thing.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Bob would be better off cleaning the glass ceiling with that rig.

Good morning Poster phans!
