Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 31, 2018

Did his forearm dissolve in the paint?

Did he break the wall with another comic strip that was still being colored?

NO! I didn’t see that!

What the heck kind of paint is that? His arm is dissolving!

Ed’s no salesman.

I think his arm is OK….

There’s his sleeve, which when bent reveals a bit of his forearm…. his wrist, and his hand….

which looks a bit fist-like cos his fingers are clutching his phone.

His suit, his phone…. and his brain, however….

are all a bit… disfunctional(?) at the moment.

Next time, Ed, someone says “How’s that color grab ya?”

You don’t need to take it literally.

And for Pete’s sake, if you do, put down the phone first.

Ed wishes he were a better chooser of options….

but he may soon be better off living someplace where they don’t give him so many.

In his attempt to lean on the desk as a confident successful paint salesman……..he failed to check the surroundings. His arm now drenched in paint he turns to a slapstick explanation to wipe away the failure. That was his favorite jacket too.xD

Good morning Sheriff.

Happy, Happy, Happy Halloween!

I think his elbow is bent…

Coming up empty for a wisecrack on this one..

speaking of options——-VOTE!!!

Picasso had the same problem.

I’d be interested to know what the other option was…

Ed got that jacket off the rack at Goodwill. While he may have built a presentable wardrobe from them, this item can use a paint job. Your choice should be whitewashed, Ed! You don’t achieve checks and balance in it!

He does the same thing when he drops the phone in the toilet, too. He goes through more suits that way.

Van Amerongen is one of the artists that makes me laugh OUT LOUD

…don’t we all…
