Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 24, 2023

Enos needs to either use a smaller rock, or get a bigger wife.

is that a new yoga?

Most of us larger ladies would be happy to be ineffective in that manner.

Obviously, Enos is an engineer first and foremost. You can see him already calculating how he needs to move the fulcrum so that Connie will resume her past effectiveness.

Connie doesn’t think much does she. Apparently she had forgotten the Trebuchet incident.

They’re trying to invent a new weapon, the Conniepult.

Lever alone!

Clearly Enos has no clue how to build a Trebuchet.

huh ? That should’ve worked .

Ha, ha, ha, the rock was the counterweight! ☺

Good morning Balladeers!

I expect Connie will be very effective with a 2 × 4 when she gets down. Enos would be wise to start running.

Good old Connie…always thr trooper…….so good to get back into following Jerry’s strips after years away after he retired.

Connie yells, “well don’t just stand there!”

Get her down Vernon before all the blood rushes into her head.

Connie hates hanging around.

She doesn’t weigh enough stone (as they say in the U.K.).

WTF…What The Fulcrum!!

On top of everything else, Connie will likely take offense at being used as a counterweight. The position of counterweight is so very important and rarely gets the credit it deserves. Those who are good at it can make the world a better place.

Huh. Whoda thunk? Well, back to the old drawing board. You gonna be ok there Connie, for a bit?

Connie can’t weight for the next experiment.

connie is plainly unbalanced…
