Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 23, 2024

Drawing a line to bridge two worlds

well, i don’t blame them

Oh, I could use one of those!

They are improving, they filled in their moat last week.

And here I thought I was done with my home improvement projects.

One small problem, the winch is on the outside. They will be stuck inside when they close the drawbridge.

I’ve heard rumors they’ve called Moats ’R Us and have plans to visit Florida for a nice selection of gators.

Well then they shouldn’t be surprised when the newspaper ends up in the bushes.

The best part is it works both ways. When it’s time for a tiresome guest to leave you can lower it part way and make them walk the plank.

At the Carlisle Castle, the Hot Oil is reserved for the Ballard Street Vandals…

They wisely had it installed after meeting some of their neighbors…

I think I need one of those.

If you saw their neighbours you would understand. Ballard St. has a reputation of having funny folk living there.. and unfortunately the Carlisle family home is between two of the.. funnier (and not the ha ha funny) ones.

Hey not a bad idea………

Good morning Balladeers!

The isolation will be complete when Mr. Carlisle finishes digging and lining the moat he has been planning for years.

When the neighbors say the Carlisle family likes to play Bridge and Pitch most people don’t think drawbridge and hot tar.

Wheelchair access?

their home is their castle…
