Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 22, 2018

Ted, absolutely, Trevor, not so much.

Especially with Skippy and Miss Millie High Maintenance just coming around the corner.

Ted often wears a jacket. Trevor just pants.

They both have their inserts, as well as those unique Ballard Street ankle pleats.

I hear they like to walk by the dairy farm and taunt the bull.

Ted went to the big Check Sale at Dennis’s Fabric Emporium And Mud Wrestling Arena!

$1.63 a yard or 2 yards for $5.04

Ted is also wearing a shirt with a “Ballard Pocket” able to hold 14 pens at one time.

if their zippers get stuck they will have trouser trouble, if it occurs to both of them it will be double trouble.

Wait until those trousers ride.

I had a pair of PJ bottoms that looked like those.

In the 50’s

 

You’ve heard of white, brown, black, etc belts in Karate?

Well, Ted has a blue belt in sartorial elegance….

issued by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Ballard Street Men’s Clothing, Haberdashery, Hat Making, Tailoring, Fine Fabric and Ping Pong Society….

( Dennis, I believe, has been a member for several years of the men’s group…. Seattle Ballard St chapter.)

 

The LANSMCHHTFFPP only gives out one per year….

it being too expensive to have the club initials embroidered on more.

 

Ted received his in 1993.

Trevor merely basks in the reflected glory….

pretty much.

Sort of.

Just wait and see what happens when they get to the tree at the end of the block.

Matching belts too!

“Spongebob” was not the first to have “square pants”!

Bowser’s trousers…

But we all know the answer to the unasked question…" Who really wears the pants in the family ? "

My comics queue isn’t loading. I wish that they would stop “fixing” things.
