Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 10, 2015

It’s just not safe to walk on the streets of our Fair City, I’m going to take the matter up with our City Counsel at their next meeting and croquet match.

On the other hand the Plaid Pants and Bark Chip Company is doing land office business.

Well Sir, maybe your dog is well behaved………….

Rex is a charter member of the Ballard Bark & Bite Bowsers gang who delight in preying on the unsuspecting.

Their high jinx had of course, come to the attention Sherif MunkyBluz. He sent his best detective, McGruff, to work undercover and infiltrate this canine cabal.

Sadly, McGruff was seduced by a pretty pink poodle, and has become a full-fledged felon and card carrying member of the toothy terrorists.

These days, he’s taking a bite out of more than crime !
