Hoo boy, another year, another thread! You love to see it! I have taken it upon myself to post the delightfully zany Ballard Street by retired cartoonist Jerry van Amerongen. It's a one-panel gag strip that highlights the lives and adventures of the elderly denizens in (what we assume is) Ballard Street. van Amerongen hasn't provided any contextual clues for us; recurring characters are very rare, but certain themes can be discerned (such as obsessive love for your dog, or a benign willingness to teach your surroundings about pulley systems). It's crazy, it makes no sense, but I love it for its nonjudgmental attitude to the people it depicts. I try to post it once a week. Since van Amerongen is retired, all strips are reruns.

Cat deaths are the absolute worst. A Youtube cat I've been following for a while (Butters) died yesterday. gently caress you world, cats are too good for you. Have some Ballard Street to brighten your day.

Antivehicular posted:This seems... fine, actually? Not amazing or anything, but if Lynn has a creative outlet that isn't just revisionist personal history, that's a good step. Yeah I don’t mind this. Looks innocent enough. Nothing groundbreaking but hey.

Jesus Christ Crankshaft. IIRC the nurse in the original photograph was identified and she’s gone on record about the thing, and her take was essentially “I’ll allow it”. But yeeesh

I find it very endearing how Bizarro is hell bent on drawing every conceivable pun in existence.

Not to toot my own posts, but this week's heap of Ballard Street includes some bangers. Look at that happy dog!

Cowslips Warren posted:imagine if Dustin did that to her. I’m sure it has happened but in general he’s remarkably chill and nice to his surroundings considering how much spiteful poo poo he’s bombarded with for no discernible reason.

Boy howdy, finishing up a thesis takes up a lot of mental energy. My posts have fallen behind big time, I'll just give you some highlights of the first half of April, and the last half will come later. But for now, a welcome return to Ballard Street!
