Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 20, 2021

No wonder Owen never complains about Scooter’s pranks back on Ballard St.

Is it just me or does Owen bear a resemblance to Richard Nixon. He was nimble of mouth. And where the heck is his office? I thought Charlie was the mascot for the Ladies Crochet and Wine Tasting club.

It’s Chloe down the hall that brings her pets to work.

And the moment he sets foot out of the office, he reverts back to the stumbling, bumbling fool he is.

Imagine Owen as a child jumping from couch to chair, back to the couch, avoiding creatures in the swamp below, moving quickly across the coffee table, and into the dining room – over chairs and the dining room table, and finally escaping altogether out the front door.

Owen, ever the fashion maven, decided to up his trendy Izod trousseau with a real alligator. That decision has come back to bite him.

Only on Ballard Street.

I once worked in that office…

Charlie is going to be in real trouble once that chairback gives way.

When we lived in Sarasota, FL those gators were everywhere! They are supposed to be here in Pensacola but, I haven’t seen a single one in 7 years!

He should have thought about that before he went to work at Izod.

The Secretarial Pool has gotten really iffy lately…

Keeps the time wasting social gathering at the water cooler down to a minimum.

Owen is the alligator’s name. Don’tb know who the guy is.

I wanna know which dog that SOB ate.

Never put an office in a jungle or Florida!

SPECTRE knows how to make downsizing fun.

Owen always knew the Boss would come crawling to him sooner or later.

Times like this call for reaching deep into the bag and going for the really lame joke.

It’s great that Owen keeps alert. The world needs more lerts.

Owen knows Charlie is from HR. Anyone caught napping on the job will be eaten.

Which one is Owen?
