Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for April 21, 2023

The ups and downs of having friends that are boys, I guess.

Seagull peeking.

you asked, Rose, you received

Pas de Don’t.

Amazing jetés!

You had her, you lost her…

Surprised Rose isn’t there for it. See, this was a game I actually played as a child – ballet Barbies in space – only it was Mars, not the moon. Toy makers were happy to provide ballet Barbie but not a spaceship so the record player became a spaceship.

Swan Lake would take forever to finish, given that at least two of the women would achieve low orbit and need to be rescued with nets or thrown ropes.

Will Spud play the part of Billy Elliot?

And space opera ain’t that bad either

Aren’t you a little too advanced for cut-n-paste, Rose..?

Same word, slight variation of word balloon. Brilliantly done.

Rose’s reactions are great, particularly when she realizes they are talking nonsense.

I would like to say that this is pretty much EXACTLY what goes through boy’s heads when they are young …also when they’re older.

Well, it wouldn’t be truly endless because physics, but yes you probably could maintain a pirouette longer much easier in the lower gravity of the moon.

Endless pirouettes are like bottomless refills. They’re only worthwhile if your waitress is bottomless.

Wait. How’d I get here?

You really captured the full gamut of emotion on Rose’s face….

Bro talk ,..

And endless sickness too.

You had her…than you lost…than you had her..lost he again 9/10

Didn’t we already have that in one of The Marx Brothers movies? I forget which one, but it was in black and white…

A tour de force of Rose emotional states!

the broiest of stuff

I once ate in a restaurant on the moon. The food was great, but there was no atmosphere.

“The Menace From Earth”

A sci-fi short story that takes place on the Moon, by Robert Heinlein. Not a bad story except Heinlein couldn’t write a decent female POV to save his life, the sexist barstud.

I love how expressive the tails of her speech balloons are!

Wallace is your wingman, Spud! Follow his lead!

seagull status: now ya see me, now ya don’t
