Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 13, 2021

That’s the first kid I recall seeing on Ballard Street.

When was the last time you saw taps on the heels of shoes. I don’t think they even make them anymore. Of course Mr. Kleepenhoofer has them. He bought those shoes back in 1963. He likes to save money. We call him Cheaper Kleeper.

It works well.

It looks like the kid’s keeping score. I’d give it a 9.1 But I think the Russian judge gave it a 9.5!

This will go down in Mr. Faceplant’s journal as, “The Snare Affair!”

Wanted: The Carlisle Kid: for Tripping, Trapping, and being a general Neighborhood Nuisance

He’s gonna pay for this

You have to hand it to the Ballard Haberdashery. No matter what happens, their pants stays keep their stiffness.

Gasp! Comb carnage!

At least the comb stuck its landing…

That is a view of Mount Bottom that i never wanted to see.

Is that the kid or his wife looking on…..?

Even the kid looks old on BS

The Carlisle Kid’s Philosophy? “Wallet’s a living…”

Is he catch and release, or will Missing Persons be coming around?

Anyone else want the carlisles as neighbors?

Catch and release

Looks like Mr. McNitt got himself snared again.

As I age, I find myself calling middle-aged men, “kids” too.

Every neighbourhood’s got “one of those families” and this little episode will require a retaliatory response.

The kid is keeping a tally too. He ought to be locked up.
