Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 26, 2023

Thought we’d catch a show

This must be the night that the Ballard St. Sock Puppets and Wooden Dummies Association meets, Paul has the distinction of being one of the few members to qualify in both categories.

Paul doesn’t like to admit that Mrs. Higglepooder really enjoys his shows.

And Paul is wearing his special costume. A Satin Bikini and a Feathered Boa. Thr Ballard St. SP and WD Club is all inclusive.

Nancy, there are some things left unstated.

They always enjoy a game of “role play”

“Where are you going without me?”

She has often gotten a private showing with audience participation.

Nancy just wants to know at which police station to wait (ready with the bail money) because Paul never manages to keep his coat closed.

Paul realizes he needs to get up a bit earlier to sneak passed Nancy’s watchful eye…

Paul isn’t going far. It looks like he’s still in his pajamas

I’m guessing that he’s going to try doing children’s story time at the library. Hmmm, what could go wrong with that?

Nowhere Dear. We’re both staying inside today.

“We’re meeting up with Kukla, Fran, and Ollie for lemon-aide…”

To the park naturally, gonna try to chat up some little girls.

Paul and his hand puppets roam the open roads!

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

“What we do every night. Try and take over the world.”

Down to the Ox and Anvil for a few pints… each.

There is a new family on the block, they’ve got 5 kids…

Paul heads for the BS Sock Puppet Theater to engage in a little foot fetish.

Mr. Murphy is going to a ball game, but Wiggles and i are going dancing.

Paul’s headed down to the local TV station to host a kids’ TV show called “Pirate Paul and Pals.” Mr. Murphy and Wiggles are the pals.
