The droll dogs of Ballard Street are often hailed as among the cartoonist's strongest characters. Dogs who wear hats, dogs that catapult from trampolines, and dogs that outthink their human counterparts highlight Van Amerongen's humorous way with hounds.\nThrough his comedic canines, Van Amerongen wants to share his world.\n\"Some of the messages are profound; some are just plain silly. Some are geared for big laughs; others a quiet smile,\" the cartoonist says. \"It's what's rattling around in my brain at the time.\"\nIn 1980, Jerry Van Amerongen left a successful career in corporate America to work full-time on his cartoon The Neighborhood. After a decade, he decided it was time for a change, so he began developing Ballard Street. A graduate of Ferris State College, Van Amerongen lives in Minneapolis.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0740705792\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0740705792.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Van amerongen, Jerry\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
