Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 30, 2020

Hey, Stephen just knows how to enjoy a healthy breakfast! Isabel, Stephen may want to monitor your relationship with your curlers.

I love Maple Cheerios mixed with Cinnamon Chex.

Isabel is one ugly woman, no wonder Stephan covers his face with a bowl.

I’m pretty sure the ads don’t mention anything about wearing part of a healthy breakfast.

Oh, I don’t about that. He and cheerios appear to have quite a close relationship.

Can this couple be any more weird…..grow up Stephen…and finish your breakfast like a good boy…….and you with the curlers…a-hem…..don’t look in the mirror…you’ll crack it…LOL

WOW is that an old strip, back to the early days of The Neighborhood :D :D

I saw the little stacks of Cheerios in front of Stephen….

then for a moment, I thought that’s what Isabel had tied in her hair.

A Cheerios co-dependent.

But no… it’s just him, with the problem.

But look… let’s put it in perspective….

As long as he cleans up his own mess, there are worse problems….. even, no doubt, worse things one could do with Cheerios.

Please, no, don’t make me elaborate.

And as for Isabel… in spite of her worries about Stephen, she’s trying, isn’t she, to make herself attractive?

Curling her hair, wearing a pretty peignoir….

Can’t we give her some credit?

I hate to see us be judgemental, here on Ballard Street, about the cosmetically challenged.

Product placement! :D

It’s not the Cheerios Isabel.. The marriage vows included the two bag rule and now you have gone rogue.

That is an impressive structure there in front of Stephen, it’s his search for the next perfect piece that one may take issue with…

Considering what milk does to clothes and the linoleum (it eats through the layers of wax), I can’t blame Isabel for her unhappiness.

He’s protesting: he specifically asked for the chocolate kind!

Stephan can’t stand the sight of his wife in curlers with that green goop smeared on her face. It’s enough to launch him face first into his cereal.

At least he isn’t cuckoo for Coco-Puffs.

Stephen knows that Trix are for kids, and Cheerios are for him!
