Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 14, 2024

BULL!

Educate him, Wallace. Bullfighting is excessively cruel. He could never do it.

“You mess with the bull, you get the horns.” – Vice Principal Vernon

No bull.

I knew at his age because I had a copy of Ferdinand.

Spud, you can do it! Just have to take the bull by the horns

Olé!

Not a lot of blood sports left. Killing animals slowly for entertainment has gone out of fashion in a lot of countries.

First panel: the little spaceships “jumping” out of the pinball machine are a nice touch, as is the electric cord plugged into the wall. Details!

Spud…

Spud maybe a profession where you can wear a matador costume? Don’t ask me what one that may be, I’m just the idea gal.

If matadoring doesn’t work out maybe he can be a lion tamer instead.

I love Walices faith in the ability of his friend.

Every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man!

That’s just the pretty side of the bull fights.

The super white socks and slipper-like shoes just do for the Spudster.

Just play dress-up!!!!!

What ladies love a matador? Certainly not me or anyone I know! The unmitigated ego and animal cruelty kinda put a damper on the snazzy costume.

There IS a form of bullfighting in which the bull is not killed. Or was. I think it was in France. They might have given it up as still too inhumane.

to become one you have to know what they do?? don’t tell that to any attorney

Once Spud finds out what a matador does it’ll become one of his falling-off-the-bridge daymares.

How much do you want to bet that he just wanted to draw Spud as a matador?

(And did a brilliant job of it, too!)

Dress as one for Halloween..

He could be The Great El Spudo.

I suspect he’d reconsider once someone does fill him in on what a mastador does. Rose wouldn’t happen to be nearby, is she?

Spud cuts quite the dashing figure!

I saw a bullfight years ago-It was awful!!!

We have a mat at our door! ;<)

Love the pinball machine. “Sole” Survivor. Nice.

Before you explain the blood part, tell him he has to wear a corset just to fit into the dazzly suit!

A very long time ago a tourist to Spain was at a bullfight. After the fight he walked back to his hotel and stopped at a restaurant along the way for a meal. The maître de told him that the day’s specials were from a recent “loser of the bullfight”. The tourist was hungry for a nice juicy steak, but the special intrigued him. “What is that?” “Señor, that is the essential part of a bull that makes him a bull. What you in America would would call Rocky Mountain Oysters”. The tourist tried the dish and the method of preparation and presentation made him a fan of that for life. A few days later he returned and asked for the same thing. “Hey, these are smaller.” “Señor, sometimes the bull wins.”

Make door mats?

Sometimes, the perks are worth the risks…..

Spud has absoluty no idea, but he would look so cool!

Spud’s got cankles to the max!

What happened to Shwaps?
