Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 06, 2023

and leave it to Lois to show you how hurtful a cardboard can be

Eugene doesn’t want to know where Lois is contemplating putting that cardboard.

Lois likes talking a lot more than listening

Ballard just wouldn’t be the same without cardboard inserts !

As a fellow Lois, I’m not amused either.

Eugene, those are not properly tailored cardboard inserts. They do not enhance your rizz with Lois. Put that cardboard in the recycling, now.

Eugene has wood pulp for brains.

Lois: “Okay … so do something amazing with it.”

Eugene is so enamored by cardboard, but he has no regard for the instructions on them.

Eugene is easily pleased.

Lois’ mind is swiftly preparing an suitable answer!

Oooh . . . going out to my cardboard pile right now .

“Lois, it’s Amazon where you can get the cardboard!”

“Now you’re talkin’!”

[clears throat]

Lois, I’m ready for my lobster now.

Yes, it is!

Lois is thinking “I bet I could make a coffin out of cardboard!”

Good morning Balladeers!

Yeah, that’s why I always have a garage-full waiting to cut up. :)

Yes, yes it is.

It looks as if cardboard’s versatility doesn’t hold as much fascination for Lois as it does for Eugene.

Gene is planning on going trick-or-treating this year wearing a cardboard survival suit. Pray that it doesn’t rain.

Gene is a great admirer of the late President John F. Kennedy, who said “Ask not what cardboard can do for you. Ask what you can do with cardboard.”

It’s another corrugate scandal…
