Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 11, 2022

It looks like he probably favors Buicks for hood ornaments.

I wish whoever draws these cartoons would get out of East Ballard. It’s nothing but loonies living over there. And Lawrence has a lot of ‘splanin’ to do to the Ballard Wrecking Yard and Carpet Store.

Lawrence is pretty strong to keep his posture up. The bumpers in those days were meant to actually take a “bump” without folding and they had a lot of chrome plating.

And what about that hat ornament?

A fellow hot rodder, I presume.

What we can’t see – because his mouth is closed – is that all of Lawrence’s teeth now have diamonds and gems embedded in them. Lawrence is nothing if not detail-oriented.

It’s just for balance. He can lean back a little now.

Oh, and it’s a lot of help on a crowded subway.

“Now don’t be gettin’ all up in my grille!”

Lawrence is the Edsel of Ballard Street.

Needs tailfins.

Lawrence always did go his own way. Buicking the trend, you might say. You wouldn’t? Well, I would… ☺

Let’s see his smile. :)

Lawrence picked a classic for today, word is that he is due for a promotion at work and today he meets the big boss.

You should see his smile.

He definitely needs a good bumper if he’s walking while reading the newspaper.

Wrong head wear Lawrence. That is obviously a HOOD ornament.

I assume his wife Agnes has the Dagmar bumper.

Yeah I notice that my self! Funny!

NO! Your still no coming through the drive thru Lawrence

Lawrence likes to self promote his dentistry clinic…

Not a bug splat to be seen.

It makes Lawrence radiate confidence…
