Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 13, 2021

Is he about to strike another match? How does he reach back there to “light one up?”

Tod always wanted to go out in a blaze of glory.

Now for the big one, to land on the roof!

He may be permanently clear of his body if he’s not careful.

Oh for…the last time he rocketed himself right thru St. Shirley’s s Rose Window. Father Crumpten wasn’t at all forgiving.

And don’t even ask about old Mrs. Higgenpoofer’ s Garden Shed. There were Sweet Peas everywhere.

“A series of low level trajectories” is such a wonderful turn of phrase. I hope I remember to use it next time things go pear shaped.

He needs roller skates.

Randomness at its best!

Todd always wanted to be a star…

Wiley Coyote

That Todd, he really burns my a$…his a$$.

He’s just not going to achieve enough thrust with that rig for liftoff.

Hey Todd, strap another rocket to your back!

Now I get the joke… those are Todd White shoes!!!!

Gonna be a long day, that is a full book of matches he has there.

Perhaps Todd’s too much grass problem is a result of Todd’s too much grass problem… ☺

Unlike Wiley Coyote, he doesn’t give up, even though he clearly should.

Love the way this drawing captures motion (or the consequences of motion).

The bounce effect?

Elon’s less successful cousin.

Todd’s been ‘burned’. Just seems not to know it yet. Todd is a slow learner. Don’t be like Todd.

Todd’s fuse is a bit too short to be useful.

I mistook the shading for charring. Give him another couple of tries.
