Easy Livin' on Ballard Street: The Comic Art of Jerry Van Amerongen

Jerry Van Amerongen is the 2003 and 2005 winner of The Best Newspaper Cartoon Panel Of The Year Award by the National Cartoonists Society. Jerry's cartoons have been in continuous syndication for nearly 35 years. Introduced in 1980, Van Amerongen's cartoon panel The Neighborhood along with Gary Larson's The Far Side helped redefine the newspaper single panel cartoon with short bursts of sophisticated surreal humor. Ballard Street is a rich continuation of Van Amerongen's singular humor.
