Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 28, 2023

Jerome and Scooter are about to have a set to.

he’s trying to be friendly – no worries

Scooter realizes his suspicion is true. The entire town of Ballard is a looney bin. And I live here…bwwhhahaaa.

The Dog: Something doesn’t look right here.

… or … Something doesn’t smell right here.

This is not going to end good for one of them.

Jerome has been teasing Scooter for awhile now. They have a mutual love-hate relationship. Scooter’s owner, Sidney, is getting pretty tired of their shenanigans.

Scooter will remember you my friend, oh yes. That mask doesn’t hide your scent. You may be safe for the moment, while Edna has a firm grip, but Scooter will remember.

Somebody’s asking for it.

And that’s when the fight started… Me-Ow!

That mask is just one of thousands like it…it’s just a copy cat.

That’s no Gay Fox! This will lead to something somber…

Jerome thought this might be funny and he is about to be proven wrong.

This is why there are no Cat Clubs on Ballard Street.

Well, it is Caturday after all!

I think the cat is confused………

Good morning Balladeers!

I wear that mask every day but mine’s invisible. :)

This is not a mask.

(apologies to René Magritte)

Scooter does a double take just prior to the attack.

Scooter is thinking “WOW ! Catwoman has really let herself go !”
