It’s Hazel who has had to cultivate the genuine benevolence…
She knows Ted is more than half a bubble off…
But she also knows his heart’s in the right place.
She makes him dinner, and makes sure his robes are clean and mended, and that he doesn’t wear them to bed.
She loves him, and she vowed, long ago, “for better or for worse.”
She’s seen far worse… and she’d rather have Ted’s attempts at benevolent rule….
which she can safely ignore, once she reassures him with a few “Yes, Your Majesty”s…
than a lot of the nasty behavior she’s seen on TV.
Not usually here on Ballard Street.
This tends to be a gentle, mostly aging population….
Some crazy as a loon, some tolerant of the lunacy….
most somewhere on the sliding scale in between.
Very little crime, violent or otherwise… though oddball thievery does occur.
BY the way… it just took me a week, I’m embarrassed to admit, to notice that Ballard St. had been removed from my “My Comics” page…
This was the THIRD TIME in probably the last few months that I’ve had add it back.
I thought the first time that I must have accidentally clicked “Unfollow” .. but not three times, and only to this strip.
Has anybody else had that problem?
