Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for February 03, 2022

Uh oh— it’s the grade school mean girls!

this thread has jumped the shark…

Where did Seagull get his sign?

Oh, this is going to be good. “To the cafeteria! Impending food fight!”

I think Spud needs a rescue slide to deploy.

I thought that was an evil Rose.

& the beep goes on…"

Double Dutch Bus!!

Like the school name and I got to read the strip on the second go. See yesterdays comment.

I like the solitary Beep in the 2nd panel.

I’m glad this strip today seems to have lowered the temp on Spud’s anguish, at least a little bit. After all, he is still talking and not yet bursting into frightened tears, as I have seen grade-school children really do. For yesterday’s installment reminded me of a comment made by the leading lady character Georgia, in Charlie Chaplin’s 1925 film “The Gold Rush.” When Georgia saw the Little Tramp’s heartfelt, elaborate preparations for the New Year’s Eve dinner that she and her friends had promised to come to, but had stood him up instead, she said, “The joke has gone too far.”

Like so many youngsters of her age, she thinks the whole world is her stage! (Hey -that rhymes!)

Spud’s not going to earn his bus jump wings.

I’m hearing the bus kids singing Kris Kross’ “Jump.”

Might as well jump. Go ahead, jump!

And thus followed the best round of double-dutch ever seen.

But nobody saw it because they were too busy ogling the bus evacuation drill that got held up by a kid having a panic attack.

I’d give Wallace a 10 also. Spud is just eating his sandwich. He’ll jump when he’s good and ready. However, they’re not setting any real, records for evacuating that bus though…..

I think not even Amelia can beat them when it comes to class pranks .

Cute. The girls think they have a cheer squad now.

The seagull with the 10!

as a school bus driver myself, this arc has been awesome! so many things that are not allowed though! hahaha.

I jumped out of seven buses on a motorcycle. True story.

Pandemonium has ensued on the bus!!

Now for some serious double Dutch.

In the last panel that one on the left looks elderly. I’m new here; is she a grandparent? Parent? Teacher? .. etc.. ?

Love the seagull giving Wallace a ‘10’.

No
