Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 28, 2018

Impressive.

Mothballed and put away for winter.

She should’ve called the FBI first.

You better check the bottom draw too.

Sheila was looking for some fresh towels. Instead, she got not-so-fresh Marvin. Marv, I know it’s hard to get any “alone time” in this household, but you really do not have enough storage as it is!

Those pictures on the dresser, with the emerging purple polyp…why do they fascinate this couple? Was it their vacation in the Okefenokee Swamp with Pogo? Or a more recent visit to the swamp in DC?

She should be happy that he still wants to get into her drawers…

Yesterday Susan explained a bit about Ballard Street. My contribution was just posted there, so I am also posting it here:I do miss those days when it was easier to post pictures. Still possible but not as simple, and readers need to use Neil’s Go comics links tool to get quick access to posted pictures. My store (Dennis’s Fine Fabrics and Excavation Supplies) provides the seasonal polka dot patterns for women’s dresses and men’s undergarments, as well as fine check patterns for men’s outerwear. (Women’s undergarments are a Ballard Street secret, my lips are sealed). We are diligently working on the Spring collection, It will be coming in February.

But you’ve just found him.

Thanks Dennis… and Redkaycei (Good to see you, Red!) for yesterday’s contribution…

Sorry to leave so many out, but I had to edit my post so the end wouldn’t get cut off, and I was way too tired to make another.

Anyway… it isn’t up to me to tell everybody’s stories…

I don’t even know them all…. and besides, my brain leaks.

It’s good when people chime in with their own, as Linguist and Happyx3 also did.

We have well-known animal citizens… like Deputy BatPug, of the Sheriff’s Dept… who can’t tell their own stories…

well, the Monkey could, if only we could see his posts…

here’s his profile…

But he hasn’t tried to post for a month.

When people get banned, we can read their comments on their profiles… but they’re invisible in the forums.

Mudd uses his to post new comments, that Happyx3 reposts… Thanks Happy.

Dogsniff is another old friend who is banned….

And our good friend Beviek contributed so much, but chose to leave when GoComics suddenly removed all our pictures, links and formatting from the previous pages.

Years of work, destroyed overnight…. I think it was in Oct, 2016.

Luckily Last Rose stayed, who also worked hard on the parties, and so did x_Tech, and JP Steve… and others…

You can see this is just another sampling… maybe more will tell their own tales.

Ballard Street was and is a magical place!

JShort… I looked… the snake pic isn’t current, is it?

WmCraft… you asked Happy3 about the back story…. hope you’d already read the posts about that very thing, in the replies to my earlier comment.

Flat Stanley?

Guy starting a new trend of “coming out.”

Looking for love in all the wrong places, Sheila.

After all these years. Carl finally has a drawer of his own.

That’s where she keeps her spare.

Good morning Sheriff. You are missed.

He always wanted to be ’top drawer," but the design prevented it.

If she continues to disturb him, Sheila will discover he’s a crossdresser…

You can stuff yourself in a drawer, but you can’t hide.

He is longing for the old days when he was part of the “saw him in half” magic trick.

And this all started because he has the reputation as “a hard man to find" down at the Bureau…

He’s from the Bureau

Well Thank YOU very much, Mr. Van Amerongen for showing the world my hiding place!

No, no. He has misbehaved and, like Bucky Katt of Get Fuzzy—a hero of his— been sent to detention! She had better hide her shoes!

“Well, I was just in here looking for my favorite cardigan.”

Last I saw him was at the poker game. I didn’t notice that he folded. :>)
