Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 19, 2018

Ted needs to go to BallardMart and see if he too is suited to own one of these new Head Cases™.

After all, who is going to argue with a Head Case™ ?

Then, free from the anxiety of wetting himself, he can leave that old Briefs Case™ at home.

Good point, Ted. The fact that he actually has very little in his briefcase and a satisfied smile must mean he’s high up on the corporate ladder. Nurture his acquaintance slowly and see if it pays off.

Don’t worry, Ted. It’s an open-and-shut case.

From the seats and windows. I think they are on a train. So Ted could move, if really concerned.

But maybe his neighbor is onto something. Maybe I should try putting my briefcase on my head, thinks Ted. (You might like it!)

Wilhelm there just likes to put a little something “ extra” in his morning coffee. Don’t worry Ted it will wear off by the time you get into town.

If Ted would like to purchase said something “extra”. He can do so at the Ballard Fine Spirits and Corsetry Shoppe. ( you know it is a high class place because it has an E on the end of Shoppe).

Just taking a brief nap.

Congratulations. You are all on your game.

Ted should concern himself less about the concerns of others.

Concerned? Yes – very concerned…Ted has apparently lost touch with the currently accepted ways of wearing his briefcase to work, and will probably be branded as unable to keep up with the changing times…

Likes to keep himself buried in his work!

The Sun. (XIX)

The teeth would concern me. I’d move away a few seats.

Be afraid, Very afraid.

“Should i be concerned?”!?!?!?

Personally, Ted< if it was me, i’d find a seat as close to the emergency exit as possible.

Good morning, Sheriff.

Last day before retirement.

Hanged man, what are you getting at? You’re making me curious.

Briefly, Ted, you may have a case…

As always: Do not make eye contact…

The other guy’s not that concerned, so maybe Ted should relax.

Wilhelm uses his briefcase to cover his eyes when he wants to nap on the way to work.

It’s always good to be prepared — just in case…

“Should I be concerned? Or should I join in?”

Concerned about what?

An early version of a virtual reality head set. By the smile on his face it could be porn

It’s one thing to think outside the box and another to think inside your briefs…
