# "Along the Boulevard" - Kensington Court This three-panel comic depicts a uniformed police officer or official at Kensington Court (a London address) seeking a house number. In panel one, he stands confused outside the building. Panel two shows a resident responding to his query "Where's this number?" with "Two blocks down." Panel three reveals the officer's concern: he was worried about a missing house number, but now realizes the address he seeks is actually located elsewhere. The humor appears to derive from the officer's relief upon discovering the number's location, rather than from any missing signage at Kensington Court itself. The joke plays on British urban geography and bureaucratic confusion over addresses.
