Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 19, 2021

Looks like Art is reading Sharon’s bodice rippers again.

Do you know how strong you’d have to be to do that? Arthur is a BEAST!

Very impressive, Art. Of course, I’m talking about the crease in his pants.

Art should take that act on the road, he could make millions…uh, possibly hundreds..or at least a couple bucks.

Art looks to be a retired bricklayer.

That or carnival strongman.

Maybe just a little.

He really tore through that book.

Quick. Figure out how can you harness this power.

I went camping last week. That was in tents.

Just keep the phone books away from him.

He’s passed tense.

Must be a very gripping book, maybe a “Ripping Yarn”?

(¬_¬)

“Arthur, you’re tense”, she said presently.

That happens every time Arthur reads a Stephen King book?

Arthur needs to find a different genre.

Bookmark! I don’t need no stinken book mark!

Now there is one frustrated man, wonder what the book.. was. Bet a doughnut it’s the new Ballard St bylaws that gives cats protection from harassment. Arthur has been known to throw a shoe at one of Eunice’s 14 odd cats

Might be best to take a seat on the other side of the room.

The sad part is, the book was, “How To Control Your Anger”.

The night before he dreamed he was a yurt. Last night he dreamed he was a wigwam. Relax, your two tents.

Wow, those isometric exercises really paid off.

At least she didn’t call him spineless…

That’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Weight Training Guide. Apparently worth every penny.

Look out!!! Artie’s gonna blow!!

He ought to get some white pages. They are cheaper.
