You know, giving the McClellan family’s strong Scottish roots, I should’ve figured Carl would likely prove to be a Scotsman…the “man” part of that of course being metaphorical here. :P

That last panel made me feel safe and loved. Yes I am HSP
I think Carl is a wolf. Google “wolf Scotland” . He has the right ears and nose, and wolves can have a sort of ruff around their neck, or at least enough ruff-like fur that an imaginary wolf could easily have one. (Keep in mind that Gary does not look like the actual bellboys of times gone by).

The most detailed, realistically drawn character is Wallace’s imaginary friend. Excellent!
In one panel, panel 3, Will Henry has once again proven why WTB is the most positive, caring comic being published today.

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name!"

Sorry Mr. Henry. You are fast approaching your “Bill Waterson” moment.
Do you keep drawing what you love? Or do you merchandise the HECK out of it?
It is your decision and we will honor it, and you, regardless.
