Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 18, 2023

talk to the hand.

When Marg sees that, she’s liable to do the full Monty.

Was that a deliberate assault on your face by your left hand, with a marker as the weapon of choice? You got trouble.

And that will be Monty’s last act of spontaneity ever.

He made his mark

I’ve done that with a tube of lipstick. Of course I’d had 3 Martinis so I’m not responsible.

Tuesday is Cosplay day s as t the office. He was trying for a Harry Potter look.

Where will he leave his mark?

Monty thought it was a Dry Erase marker, then afterwards, he read the Permanent Marker label. Oopsie!

♪ Give me a head with hair ♫ long beautiful hair ♪ draw it down to there! ♫ HAIR ♫ … ?Draw it??? I guess when you can’t grow it, you’ve got to be creative.

The hair pen for men

Monte is a surprise!

Monty hopes his artwork will remove his need for wearing actual ties from now on.

Cheaper than hair plugs.

Monty doesn’t seem like the type to write on the restroom stall. Or is he going rogue?

Go for it, Monty!

Who’re you fooling, Monty? The boss blames you for the falling profits, and that’s the way the chart depicts the Company’s bottom line… ☺

Good morning Balladeers.

But maybe he’s putting the cover where It belongs after all.

Beats a tattoo. This ink will fade in a couple of weeks.

And that, was with his left hand.. being right handed from birth this was quite the accomplishment.

Such magnificent empty space is hard to leave alone.

Monty’s not the Sharpiest tool in the shed.

It’s a BS tattoo.

I hope that’s not a permanent marker.
