Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 25, 2022

Agnes is going to be sorry she asked that.

A stroke of luck for Larry!

Larry is going to rubber the wrong way.

Uh oh. Larry’s got a whole spiel worked out for this moment; the design, the invention, the manufacturer(s), the marketing, and the history. Followed, of course, by a live marksmanship demo.

Nine hours later, with glazed eyes the strangers manage to load one of those darts up….

oh noooo facepalm

As kids, we used to shoot them at each other. They came with only a couple of darts. You could also “load” them with a pencil. The pencil didn’t have to be sharpened.

Larry darted out in front of them, locked & loaded and ready for action. Their words, the trigger Larry’d been waiting for.

~~ speak of the devil!!!

Sucker.

An unusual hobby finally finds expression. Okay Larry, you’re on.

Larry never forgets to lick ’em first either.

Rubber Dart Guns don’t [SPLAT!] people, Larry [SPLATS!] people…

What happened is that kids discovered you got greater range and inflicted more damage after you removed the rubber caps. :(

Plus, NOT a safe toy for the inner city.

Is this how mass dart shootings happen!

After all these years Larry found a soulmate.. what are the odds, even on Ballard St?

Nerf or nothing, Larry.

MUAHAHAHA!!!

They let him out????????? :)

Larry has the only rubber dart gun with a bump stock…

Larry has forgotten more about rubber dart guns than most people will ever know. He’s going to bore them senseless.
