Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 15, 2020

His wife Gertrude, is considering boarding up that door.

Now that he’s working from home, he just has to zip around the corner.

Is there a pea somewhere under all those mattresses?

Because Gregory is a princess. Gertie has always said it!

I read that as depression room at first, and it still made perfect sense.

If his pet were a cat, it would be in there with him. And without him, for that matter.

Not exactly roomy.

It looks sort of like one of those pits filled with foam pieces that you see in kid’s playrooms at fast food joints.

Looks like he’s compressing those mattresses just fine.

Gregory must have had a very bad day.

With just a little more effort -— a padded cell… ☺

Everyone needs one of those.. In fact, the new building codes on Ballard St demand a designated room in all new dwellings as they could not depend on a spare doing the job.

Another useful spinoff from NASA.

Move over, Gregory. :)

I guess this exposes him as the mobster he is dodging his foes by “going to the mattresses”!

Just line the walls with some of those mattresses and He has it ready for his complete breakdown.

… and mattress dump
