Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 30, 2020

Stewart is a messy eater! He does not have to claim that the dog ate his report.

I’ll bet he is not the only one who is surprised.

Well, Marg did tell him he needed more fiber in his diet.

“Listen, Stew, you seem a little tense. Why don’t you take a couple days off, maybe a week. Just email us the report before you leave. You’ll call us next week, we’ll see how you feel.”

After hearing the other reports…..Stewie panicked. He thought he’d written a pithy, witty report. It was drivel. Now the whole senior staff will be watching him. Stevie left for the wilds of Canada the next day and was never heard from again.

I’ve heard of people having to eat their words, but I didn’t think it was meant that literally.

He’s got to control that unconscious urge to snack.

Don’t you just hate meetings that run through the lunch hour?

Stewart did the only possible thing he could. It’s quite possible someone else may see it and take credit. He had to keep this knowledge inside himself. There was no other way.

His mama told him to eat breakfast every day.

My mother always said, you have to have something in the other hand when you drink coffee. Stewie must be Finnish….

Stewart got carried away licking the gravy off the pages, it happens.

Nah, he wasn’t surprised. He was doing a C.Y.A!

Well, in his defense, it tasted just like the Kale salad his wife makes him eat… ☺

Next time ask for the dressing on the side…

Those quarterly estimates were delectable.

I hope it doesn’t give him dyslexic dyspepsia.

He picked a bad time to start his diet.
