Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 22, 2023

No one will believe Mr. Holy when he says, “I got hit by a bus.”

Hey, isn’t that the Finklemeyer’s youngest, Horace? Heard Ballard Grade School and Zumba Academy had to hire a guard…just to keep him out. Six stitches, a new record for Horace. His previous " hit " was 90 year old Mrs. Patenpookle and she hit back

the kid looks like 50 years young

OK kid, you’ve got to buy it now.

This comic reminds me of another Ballard Street oldie, with some equally middle-aged -looking kids in it…

Mr. Amerongen had captioned it something like “Why you don’t see children on Ballard Street. I can’t draw them.”

Good morning Balladeers and Miss Susan! Long time no see Susan. I hope all is well!

Hi Shika!

Rotten little kid.

Dazed, Mr. Howley staggers along, croses the street, and narrowly avoids the real thing.

Well now, there’s a new way to get thrown under the bus… ☺

Thrown by a rogue kid……..

“The pain in his head goes round and round…round and round…round and round.”

Hate rogue busses, apt to ruin you whole day.

Take the bus, throw it in the street and hope the kid goes for it. heh heh heh. Maybe a rogue bus will be coming his way. Heh heh heh.

Another argument against flying buses. :)

And now, Mr. Howley will miss the bus.

“Take the bus, and leave the throwing to us…”

I thought they didn’t allow kids on Ballard St.
