Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 08, 2019

Looks like the oil tank line on the furnace is leaking again. Good thing Millie took that course in Furnace Repair in junior high instead of taking Home Ec.

Soup for dinner again?

I’ll say she is!

Looks like she’s having a blast.

Another wrenching experience at dinner time, I see.

Dennis and are experiencing two lost comments, his and my answer… weird!

Marcus is lucky that Mable can rise to the occasion! She hates it when the shower water turns cold! And she will need a shower after this repair, along with some Oxiclean for her little pink dress.

Her right foot does not line up with the footprints, though. (Sorry).

Where there’s smoke there’s fire.

Mable needs to be careful not to splash anything on either of the Mlle. Unecouleur masterpieces hanging in the room.

I don’t believe Marcus has said a word, and so is totally blameless – also, cleanup is not within his purview.

Well, at least she was smart enough to wear rubber gloves.

Only one word comes to mind…..R. U. N.

“‘Not now?’ I haven’t said a word.”

Must be some project —- with a pressure gauge on the line.

Nothing better than a Housewife that does home repair.

So, in this marriage, Mabel is the handym…..er uh ..person..yeah that’s it “handyperson”! ;o}

That old percolator is on its last legs.

“That’s the last time I buy an espresso machine on E-Bay.”

Repairing house hydraulics is hard work. He needs to get busy with the steam generator repairs.

So, I’m thinking Marcus is the one who is always being singled out for misfortune (see last Monday’s strip)…

Something tells me that this will not end well.

OMG, I’m exhausted after all those ‘likes’.

Is that one of those “do it yourself” magazines Marcus wants to share?

You can say that again!

Mabel may have struck oil.

Hmm, isn’t “fluid situation” sort of an oxymoron? I mean, if it’s fluid, it can’t be situated, and if it’s situated …

The fore-runner to the Instant Pot?

Mabel has her hands full without Marcus putting his two cents in. Was anyone else locked out of the comments yesterday? I missed Saturday’s strip, but when I went to check in on Sunday, I couldn’t get the comment button to work.
