Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 12, 2023

O Captain! my Captain!

The highest rank Milton achieved in the navy was cooks mate third class.

retirement hits hard – i can confirm this from a personal experience

You are outnumbered, Captain. Dare we say mutiny?

All aboard for the Red Sea adventure. We go on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me. Round old Ballard town we will go.

The worst part of him at the helm…yes you can get seasick in you own living room.

Somebody should tell the captain that the helm goes in the back.

And he named his ship the S.S. Minnow.

Captain, you are not inspiring your crew.

There’s going to be a mutiny. Maybe not today, but one of these days.

Scooter, I see, is on the poop deck.

Be careful to be guided

By this golden rule.

Stick close to your desks

And never go to sea.

And you all may be the rulers

of the Queen’s Navy!

It won’t be too long before they abandon ship.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods)))) and Miss Susan.

Time to Splice the Mainbrace!

Oo, I like the cut of his jib…

“Whoops! Tripped over that danged Ottoman again!”

♪♫ [Whoo-Eee-Oooo] ♪♫

“Captain on floor!”

All aboard the recliner! – to watch that ship go down.

Hoist the anchor.. today the captain wants to water ski.

Looks like he just “piped” himself aboard.

(Whistle) Too-wee-yuu! Captain on the deck.

Living on Ballard Street must be an exciting adventure!

The S.S. Couch Cushion is about to set sail for uncharted carpets.

Scooter just loooooves BS fantasy!!!!

A bit of port would go a long way right now.

Shika, a bit of port would go a long way anytime! ;-)

This was a good one to colorize!
