Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 26, 2025

as someone taking care of a dementia patient, I say … yeah, that’s it.

She’s going to prove to the Pulley Club that she is worthy. You go, Arlene.

Chester finds reading the comics to be as active as he wants to be.

Arlene is not only more active, she’s definitely up to something.

Has Arlene been sandbagging her husband?

/// Arlene’s into experimentation,

(somewhat hindered by intoxication).

At the end of her tether,

she hoists two sacks together.

OVERactive— her imagination.

I didn’t know the boys let women into their pulley club.

Arlene is checking her weight,

With ‘scales’ she’s had to create.

Chester’s too mean,

To buy a machine,

He won’t even budge or debate.

Oh pulleeeeys!

Chester doesn’t look left, at Arlene in her dress, because he has seen it all before.

Good morning Balladeers!

COLOR ! on SUNDAY ! …Where it belongs !

when it comes to arlene’s brain, the wheels are always turnin’…

CRACKS ME UP!!HAHAHAHA

Ol’ Chester is sure leaving a lot for Arlene to put in the “doggie-doo” bags…
