Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 28, 2018

That is no place to be taking a dump, Martin.

After being fired from the Ballard Street Dump Truckers, Martin considers a number of revenge scenarios.

Oh Martin, you are such a naughty boy. You remind me of Calvin. But I want to see the next panel! Nice pink fireplace surround, btw.

Again, Martin’s taking it to the edge.

They don’t call him Mantel Martin the Mischief Maker for nothing.

Is that the coal that Santa always leaves in his stocking that he’s using?

They won’t be singing “Pennies from Heaven” in that church…

Who knew Martin had homicidal tendencies?

Wait I’m a Deputy! I’ll arrest him on attempted murder. That is if Susan doesn’t thwart me.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy I get to use my badge!

He just had a different interpretation of taking the truck to the quarry.

This makes me now realize I’ve always wanted to do something like this to my Mom’s Christmas village.

That’s coaled.

I think we all did that. Or something like it.

They don’t call him “Amerongen of the vicious mind” for nothing.

Mayhem Martin’s at it again.

Looks like a perfect place for a quick cat nap after.

Had to take the van to the shop.

A compressor unit for the rear active suspension stopped working.

It’s going to cost just under $1000 to fix.

Anyone else out there that hates fireplaces?

He’ll blame the cat.

He named them Ava and Lance, and then he had an idea…

Martin is acting out what he would have like to have done just moment before as he engaged with some Jehovah Witness folk that keep bothering him.

I think we all know what Martin is going to get in HIS stocking.

On a church with people outside? Martin really does have a dark side!

Martin has gotten a lot boulder as he has grown older. He raided Stonehenge to become the Rocky Avenger!

martin thinks he is an elf on a shelf. Santa knows already

Keep on truckin’, Martin!

After he destroyed his wife’s Willow Tree collectibles, she had the fireplace dis-manteled.
