Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 17, 2018

We’ll hope Evan has lots of life insurance.

Evan needs his wings redone every time he flies too close to the sun.

It’s a good thing that RexZilla is such great retriever.

Sorry, Evan, I think it will take more than a few feathers to get that fuselage airborne. (Especially the plywood panels, like the Spruce Goose).

Let’s hope he’s got the wind beneath his wings.

Although, after that shot of his heinie he might need a tornado!

Evan’s medical bills are also a family affair.

Luckily, Gloria has great health insurance from her 23 1/4 years at Ballard Cannonball and Concrete Sales.

She added Evan to her plan after his own Ballard County employees medical plan disallowed his flight injuries as “self-inflicted.”

The nerve!

 

Anyway, I know he looks pretty airborne…..

and the ironing board looks like a ramp that leads him out the living room window.

But I believe that window is plate glass…

and he’s really leaping from a small balcony outside the upstairs guest bedroom, to get a head start.

 

He feels like his trajectory has an upward vector…. and Gloria has great faith in him….

but from where I sit….

(and from the troubled look in Zillie’s eyes)…

 

Well, his hospital records tell the story.

Good morning Mudd.

Evan’s a few feathers short of a full flight….

He won’t find happiness that way.
