Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 28, 2023

Fingerprints are Arthur’s bane.

At least he didn’t poop first like a dog would.

Arthur needs updates on his logic software.

Phideaux is waiting to hear how Art is going to get out of this fix.

“Oh, SURE! Blame the dog.”

Not only is Arthur busted, but Phideaux is going to bite him in the shins when he least expects it.

Caught dirty-handed.

Your dirty hands are a dead giveaway, Arthur.

wife “peeeyew! what is that smell??!!” husband “don’t look at me-the dog did it”

Digging?

Good boy Arthur…good boy……….

Busted Sod-Buster…

Good morning Balladeers!

“Arthur any more lies you’d like to tell me?”

Guessing no one else believes the dog is the one that passed gas either.

Arthur seems a bit old to be pawing at the dirt like a frisky buffalo hoping to get lucky. Flowers.. Arthur, may get you your woman, besides women detest men with dirt under their fingernails.

In order to keep his pants clean and dry cleaning bill low, Arthur prefers being wrist-deep in trouble — and keeping his knees out of it.

They say you can make a good living if you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty.

I hope he fits in the dog house! :)

Don’t blame the dog Arthur, blame the pocket protector——-it’s much more indicative of your mentality.

All that and not a stain on his pants.

looks like she’s got the dirt on arthur…

For shame, Arthur. Blaming it on poor Phideaux, who can barely defend himself.
