Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 19, 2024

that better out of the washing machine and not the basket

Later, there will be a walk through by the neighborhood people to retrieve their missing ‘fabrics’ that Corky ‘found’.

Scooter and the gang are going to have fun with this! Gidding Street. That’s the first mention of another street I can recall.

But what is Virgil trying to say?

The work of art titled Other people’s missing socks

And he is the reason I can’t sell my house!

There is an intersection of Giddings and Ballard Streets in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Jerry Van Amerongen‘s home town. You can view it in Google Maps.

Corky helps demonstrate that what “art” is is subjective.

The US Postal Service will be along shortly to string Corky up. Maybe he can be the cell-block artist of the month.

Corky’s latest installation: The Fragility of Minds: Lost & Found & Lost Again.

I think someone has popped his Corky…

Just whose jockey shorts are those?

Good morning Balladeers!

I love these cartoons. I wish they would print them LARGER.

BTW, if you have to say that you’re an artist, then probably you’re not.

Never knew there were crossroads on Ballard St. This.. is gonna take some time to digest and can’t say I’m happy with it. A slippery slope, if there’s one crossroad there likely will be others soon. I may go mad.

Somebody’s going to get clotheslined.

Corky’s neighbor, Mrs. Andersson, has been wondering why items were disappearing off her clothesline.

You’ll soon be able to experience Corky’s adventures when it comes to VR…Virgil Reality.

At least he’s Gidding something out of it.

zoom in…

the neighbors have always considered corky a bit strung out…

Ah, the fun of dealing with installation pieces.
