Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 01, 2021

Gilbert appears to be ready to challenge Lawrence to a duel.

Porch pillars at 12 feet? …..and this is how the Great House Deconstruction all started. Nowadays there is a plaque on both vacant lots to remember the event.

Demo!

What did he do to piss him off?

Yes, a few baseballs went through Lawrence’s windows, it still seems like this response is a bit over the top.

Lawrence is a feisty fellow. Also, non compos mentis.

Lawrence follows through on threat if neighbor’s dog pooped on his lawn “One more time.”

Hee heee

Whoever they are it looks like a blood feud!

“He came, he sawed, he konked-erd…”

Where most of the street’s residence are eccentric nuisances at worst, Lawrence appears to have crossed the line to menace needing professional help.

I’m taking an alternate route, avoiding Ballard St, today.

The missus is determined to get her summer tan.. and if removing that shade producing porch has to go.. so be it.

Chainsaws at dawn.

How many of these ‘interesting days’, I wonder, has Lawrence survived thus far? I suspect he may be living on borrowed time.

Dear Mr. Amerongen – do you just crack up at your toons as you draw them? HAHAHA

Lawrence has a thing about porches. He hates them.
