Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 22, 2021

Maude and Toby are only practicing for what they plan to do to Mr. Filbert on Halloween night.

They could at least call “FORE.”

The Swansons are about to see how fair the play is in jail.

Mr. Swanson relies on his old infantry training. He maxed out the grade curve on the grenade throw.

They won’t be the ones with egg on their face.

No wonder Benedict Swanson has the nickname Eggs Benedict.

or no sense

… and a history of assault.

She is egging him on, but it’s eggsactly what he wants…

This reminds me of something I did back in High School. I filled a syringe (minus the needle part), with water and walked down the hall with it in my hand, pointed backwards and up. I got a very large fella right in the face. He was looking this way and that, ready to pound someone. I did realize that this was too dangerous a prank to continue, so that was the only time I ever did it.

The Swanson’s just hate Fuller Brush sales guys!

Got to admire the aim though, practice does make perfect.

I still don’t understand.

What did the poor egg do to the Swansons?

Shouldn’t they be throwing swans’ eggs?

One of the downsides of having salesmen call you now…

The Swansons will be singing thier swansong if they don’t stop egging people on.
