Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for February 13, 2022

Poor Spud. The details conspire against him. Love Seagull in 5th panel.

Spud never learns. That’s good for us. Bad, in a way, though, in that Amelia wasn’t there to enjoy it, too.

Sigh…Spud. who else.

Henk, Henk? What kind of snowplows do they have in Snug Harbor?

I thought the “henk” was an apt description.

Slush probably went right down the back of his neck. Ucky

This reminds me of a funny video in which a woman driving a car passes a man going the other way, and she screams: “Piiiig”, to which the man angrily answers: “Biiitch”, only to be scared by a huge swine just behind the next bend. :D

AWESOME! Poor Spud, but this is a good laugh. Wallace and Seagull’s expressions in panel fifth are gold!

Snug Harbor’s only snowplow, and it had to intersect with Spud!

And there we have it, the Abominable Snow Spud.

Hee, Spud, the unhippest, hipster

Even Seagull tried to warn him. Dang headphones!

Totally oblivious to the world around him.. lucky it was only snow. Sadly they get hit with the truck far too often.

Great. Another life-long neurosis to haunt poor Spud.

Look Out?……

Maybe turn down your music just a tad, Spud.

♪ Other people stared as if we were both quite insane ♪

The wildly flying snow, the forward tilt of the plow and the truck itself: this is THE BEST kid’s-eye artistic rendition of a snow plow at full speed that I can imagine. Takes me back to my childhood. Thank you Will Henry!!!

A few years back there was video (took place in NY I think) of an Amtrak train pulling into an outdoor station but it pushed a wall of snow in front of it and hit the people waiting like a wave.

A moment frozen in time or the dangers of dancing with earbuds.

Seagull, what a pal. He was too late, though.

Wallace tried

Situational awareness my lad, situational awareness.

Just when Spud was getting into the groove.

Poor Spud. All the situational awareness in the world wouldn’t have saved him. Where’s he supposed to go — there’s a fence! Blame the driver for burying a nicely cleared sidewalk.

I’m a bit confused on Spud’s face on panel 2 and 4, which ones are his eyes?
