Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 27, 2022

Ted must be wearing his Superman underwear again.

The eyes are so round I think he may have taken one too many happy pills.

Ted, you look great. Perfect creases in your trousers, just the right amount of cuff exposed from under your jacket. Grab that briefcase and show the world your stuff!

I see a big ole crow sitting on the branch that hangs over the walkway. Ted’s euphoria is about to do a u-turn.

Ted thinks he is Sales Man.

Good for you, Ted. There’s plenty out there that needs saving! Hope you at least make it to the sidewalk.

Maybe Ted can begin with aerobic on the way to the bus?

Go Ted, be our hero!!!

Keeping an eye out for phone booths

Once he exhales he’ll be deflated!

Almost.. being the definitive word here. One more shuffle forward and.. poof, it’s gone.

Who is going to tell Ted it’s Saturday and he doesn’t have to go to work today?

Oh, Ted’ll be a Hero, alright. A Hero sandwich. After he’s gone “Up, up, and away!”, he’ll come back all chewed up…

Go for the gusto, Ted!

If it lasts as far as the curb, it’s going to be a good day. :) :) :)

Be your own hero. Superman underwear or a Steph Curry T shirt might help.

Where is his cape?
