Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 29, 2017

Um …. maybe I’m seeing this wrong but …….. isn’t his left hand strapped to the arm of the chair? And wouldn’t it then make more sense for him to say “right” hand rather than left?

He must be talking about the hand that’s left for him to use.

Meanwhile, without a belt, Nathanial is not going to get very far. And he seems to be wearing Gertie’s undies.

Interesting art on the wall.

Unambivalent, disengaging, sinister and ambidextrous.

I was thinking maybe Nathaniel took advantage of his temporarily beltless state and added the full moon to his farewell….

I mean, he has to know it’s his farewell, because even without being fired, he must realise that he has set all the bridges on fire.

And what adds a note of dramatic beauty, offsetting the red flames of burning bridges, like a huge, shiny, August moon?

From what Rose says, it must be quite an expanse.

I wonder how many yards of polka dots per pair of shorts.

Which reminds me…. I always thought Gertie did design and sew all their underwear…. but that his were boxer shorts.

He’s a bit …um… full-mooned to share her briefs….

ample as they may be.

Nathaniel no longer fits the corporate image.

seems like an apropos time to go out for a belt!I know a good bar…..

Look, ma, no hands.

He means his Other Left!

He has a good hand it’s his left,

You’re right!

He has a good hand it’s his left,

You’re right!

Sound off,

Cadence count!

1,2,3,4.

1,2,,3,4!

Y’a know, I have looked at this serveral times andMy vivid imagination just takes this in a direction that would make Mrs Higglepooder cuss.

If I’d have been fired by that guy, I’d walk out doing my zip up saying, “Thank you, that was OK."
