Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for September 27, 2021

I guess the seagull is still asleep.

If your plan is to not stand out, it’s not working.

spud and agnes should compare notes on this school thing…

Could the blonde kid with glasses and freckles in the row behind Spud be a long lost cousin? Has a similar shaped head and ears to our hero…

spud can learn so many things by looking at the wall. like….. uh……. how to learn without seeing anything?

ok but no one gonna talk about the textbooks are as big as their torso, if not bigger?

A sincere salute to Mrs. MacIntosh who does all she can, day after day, for the kids in her trust… and to all teachers who do likewise.

Ooops…

It’s your turn, Spud..

Spud, back, to the future.

Big Gunther is not wearing his beany.

What a shame. All the other kids are wrong.

Doesn’t look so unusual to me. I spent plenty of days facing backwards (while in a corner) when I was a young lad in school.

He was OH so close this time…….

Well, at least he found his desk!

…and that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the school year.

Poor Spud. He’s always been a little backwards.

Somethin look wrong about the kid in front of Amelia…

What’s wrong with this kid? He’s definitely going to have trouble assimilating with everyone as an adult!

Our algebra class in high school had us sitting with backs to side walls of the classroom, chalkboards at the front. Perhaps in order to give everyone a good view? I was mystified a good deal of the time anyway.

That “skreet” takes me back…

Looks like Sherman in front of Ms. Macintosh.
