Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 26, 2020

With such balance and thigh strength, I can see what his wife sees in him.

Lois doesn’t even notice his antics anymore.

If he starts to bounce, that wire is gonna launch him clear to Scranton.

What kind of Savant would be an Idiot to do that?

The fine line between stupidity and just plain nuts.

I thought he was an idiot savant.

The Ringling Bros. have been gone for awhile, but Clark still has the chops.

At first glance, I thought she was holding a pair of scissors.

MMM-HHHMMM!!!

OK, so he’s a little strange… but who isn’t, around here?

I say give him a break.

Talent is talent.

And I know he’s no Brad Pitt…

but in a neighborhood decidedly short on eye candy…

how many men on Ballard St can get away with tightrope-walker shoes…

or have the legs for short shorts?

In fact, how many have any calves at all?

I’ve seen Leticia’s friends and their sidelong glances.

Whoo whoo.

At first, it looked like he had two left feet, but it’s the bottom part of the newspaper.

He wants to be a super man, but Clark can’t… ☺

They look to be a happy couple.. reading the morning paper on the porch without coffee though is strange.

He’s got the special footgear even! :)

Be careful Clark. If the neighborhood sees that you have normal legs, you’ll be kicked out.

No one should be surprised that there are retired Circus People living on Ballard Street.

He’s light on his feet; he’s full of hot air!

I’ll bet he couldn’t do that dressed in cardboard pants.
