Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for April 30, 2021

Spud was going to need a good rinsing off anyway after that deep fried butter.

Maybe if you froze it and put a thick crust on it? Kinda like fried ice cream maybe? My question is why would anyone want to eat a stick of butter straight up. Now thick slab of butter on homemade bread fresh out of the oven that I get but just butter…it has an ick factor to it.

Spud: “Same way you fry mayonnaise. In large batches, with sticks. Now, are you going to do my pencil now, or not?”

Look out arteries, here it comes..!

Heh, fried butter. Heh, heh.

Fried butter? That’s the most unhealthy, disgusting thing possible!

The more important question is “Why would you fry butter”?

The same way you fry ice cream.

I didn’t know it was Friday, and I DEFINITELY didn’t know it was the last day of April.

I think someone(s) are overthinking this…..

Love Spud in Panel 2.

i’v never heard of fried butter before

Hey, I’ve heard its possible to (technically) deep-fry water, so…butter can’t be much more difficult.

The belt will do a better job than the disk.

Cool story……

Great story telling. I mean it has everything. Intrigue (will Spud’s pencil ever get sharpened), adventure (a splash in the dunk tank) , disappointment (water logged fried butter on a stick), reward, (a giant pencil), mystery (did Spud eat the waterlogged fried butte on a stick, and, of course, fried butter. Love it when spud watches the ball hit the target as he sits in what was once the perfect place.

I’m worried. I love the idea. I really slather butter on toast, even croissants for example. As a kid of maybe 5 or so I was caught eating butter pats at a restaurant, thinking they were cheese. I’m maybe 1/2 Dutch, so a connection? I’m 77, not good but reasonable cholesterol (around 200), and very healthy. Butter and bacon. The two best foods ever.

I had a bite of one Not too bad think corn dog replace the corndog with butter. Basically, you freeze a stick of butter after you put it on a stick. Batter it and deep fry life tempura frying.

Fair Food. It wont kill you. Right away.

Today’s strip is the funniest ever.

Why would you fry butter on a stick…..

I remember the commercial where the guy is about to eat a stick of fried butter and his stomach pulled itself out from under his shirt and ran away.

The way he eats, Spud will never make it to adulthood.

The same way you fry Peanut Butter & Jelly

I’ve heard that other outrageous deep-fried items at the fairs include Coca Cola, beer, bubble gum, banana splits and “Thanksgiving dinner” (whatever that was!).

Spud’s anticipation/happiness in panel 2 is so pure.

I had something similar happen to me. I came up on the back side of what appeared to be a large piece of plywood with a sign that said: Amazing! Look through this hole! I guess the sound of baseballs hitting the wood from the other side should have set off warning bells to me…

I have. Is was…… strange.

Hey! Where’s Spud’s other sock!?

Poor spud
