Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 10, 2018

Very suspicious… And Alan, here you are with no pens in your shirt pocket! How will you deal with this interloper, unarmed?

Lawn not properly edged -10

Unruly shrubberies -15

A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!

OK, OK, this guy doesn’t look anything like Teddy Roosevelt….

so it has nothing to do with anything….

But sometimes a person just can’t resist.

Hey, maybe that contract has some sort of rough rider in it.

Walk softly and carry a big pen.

Oh that’s just Gregory, he appointed himself Flora and Fauna Inspector.

Soon Paul will get a missive nailed to his front door telling him his grass is 7/14” too long, and that his Pink Azalea is the wrong shade and clashes with the house paint.

Heck we could have told Paul that a long time ago.

Pink and Puce do not go with!

homer had the feeling he was being tailed.

Don’t you just hate those HOA’s?

Good morning Mudd.

Might be the county assessor.

and it turned into a ballroom blitz…

Taking names and kicking arses!;o)

Some day soon, I hope to see a man with a plan across the street preparing to bulldoze the old wreck there and build some new homes.

His middle name is Gregory. That’s Stan! I’d recognize him anywhere! And I think he’s got a new plan! ☺

As long as he doesn’t remind you of a man…

What man?

The man with the power.

What power?

The power of hoodoo.

Hoodoo?

You do.

Do what?

Remind me of a man…

Remember that time you lied on your security clearance application back in 1971?

You need a plan if nothing else to at least have something to deviate from.

The man behind the curtain is feeling a bit uncertain.

“The man with some sort of plan” is out front again? BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!

what the heck?

what the heck?
