Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 20, 2020

Not that life was all that simple for him before.

This is one that just goes whoosh! over my head.

Animal or redhead? – He might have turned into the latter if he was of German origin…

The Elm Street bus doubles as rehearsal space on alternate Thursdays. Ol’ Larry got Hypnotist Day.

Friday was Prostate Exam Day.. Larry missed a bullet there.

He doesn’t look anything like Red Foxx.

Lawrence is incredibly suggestible.

Spending his life believing he’s a small red fox is actually sort of OK…

except that his boss doesn’t understand why he’s hiding under the desk instead of using the computer…

And Connie insists on cooking the raw chickens he brings home… and she won’t let him outside to catch any birds or cats.

She told me she’s been riding the train every Thursday, hoping to find Eddie Vesco…. he’s the hypnotist…

and ask him to give Lawrence his human life back…

or to at least give him some nice fur and a tail.

He often wonders why he has an urge to dig a den….

Ever since that morning, there has not been another rodent problem in his house.

Now has the sudden urge to collect junk and fake a heart attack.

He was soon fired from his job, but quickly pursued a new occupation at the Ballard Hunt Club.

“This is the big one. You hear that, Elizabeth, I’m comin’ to join ya honey!”

There is a lesson here for all of us.. beware of men on the bus that have their belt unbuckled..

Mrs. Higglepooder’s Chicken Coop will never be the same…

Arrived here late to read the comments…and it was worth it. {^¿^}

Elvis has put on weight! :)

If most of the office workers on Ballard Street use the same train with the guy with the watch, this explains a lot of what happens there.

Chasing rabbits in the neighborhood has earned you a negative reputation?

Lawrence tries to wrap himself around women’s necks and can’t understand why they scream and run away.
