Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 02, 2021

Santa didn’t come through with the USGS 3 meter sq resolution soil and geological composition map?

I’d go for a bungee cord. If the parachute opens in time, you still have to get back up.

Even with static line you got to go a long way before canopy opens.

A parachute won’t help against the Spud-eating monster at the bottom..!

And there’s the Poseidon/Neptune statue!

Spud has a new phobia for the new year.

My phobia is sidewalk grates. Don’t trust them. Just my luck I’d walk on the rusty one and crash down.

I’m with Spud. Years ago I used to occasionally park across the street from a friend’s house. Then one day the spot was roped off and there was a big hole. The friend said it just collapsed overnight.

I always love how Wallace’s arms are out in a heroic pose as he walks. Every step is an adventure!

Going from what I personally know about sinkholes, I doubt Spud would ever encounter one deep enough where a parachute would even have a chance to be effective in slowing his fall.

But then Spud’s also the sort of kid who’d manage to prove me wrong somehow, so…

Gotta be prepared……

I worry more about the clowns in the sewer drains with the red balloons. I really love a big, plump red balloon.

I live in daily fear of walking across a sink-hole above a hair-trigger covering of earth…

And now you’ve given Wallace the idea to go spelunking.

Spud it’s winter. I have one word for you: Crevasse.

Does it matter if you have a parachute it would nice to have a jet pack or something!

Everything makes me think of Something.

“On Friday noon, July the twentieth, 1714, the finest bridge in all Peru broke and precipitated five travelers into the gulf below.”

hopefully the sink hole will be wide enough for the parachute to deploy, Spud

ok what’s that on the hill in the exact middle of the toon?

In 1986 in Columbus OH a lawyer driving his Mercedes down Broad Street plummeted into the Earth as a new sinkhole opened up under his car. Actually he plummeted 26 feet into the sewer.

gasp. THE STATUE TALKS!!
