Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 14, 2018

That six hundred pound counter weight at the other end of that line will get Carl moving right quick.

Carl’s just taking up slack at the moment.

What fun! Of course, some Ballard guys have been known to overdo it, and end up through the window. Others have spent the night hanging like cocoons, until their Missuses came to the rescue in the morning. Carl is undeterred.

But he refuses to do it the old fashioned way.

Carl will be okay, he was President of the Pulley Club in 2007.

Come to think of it, he was impeached for incompetence.

Corrine, help now!

We can’t see if he has all his fingers. Pulleys don’t forgive.

I could sure use one of those.

Is he pulling his weight?

Need a lift?

Good morning Sheriff.

Next stop, the Chiropractor.

Give a man enough rope……

“Nobody likes getting off the couch more than Carl”…Except, perhaps, the couch.

Carl jerking off again.

Unfortunately, he can’t remember why he’s getting off the couch…

You should see the contraption Carl installed in the bedroom.

Let’s see how much Carl likes it when he is dragged through the block hung from the ceiling. The squeeze will be on big time.

I’m thankful I’m not there yet!
