I remember my mom(we didn’t have a lot of money) told me I couldn’t get underwear with cartoon characters until I was older .I realized later it was just an excuse to put off paying for more expensive underwear lol
A comment I never expected to be making – I love the drawing of the school bus pulling up fast on a dreary November morning. Will has captured the mingled dust and leaves and puddles of dirty water I remember so well from my childhood. He always excels at these quotidian things that hook the memory, like the back of the Snack Shack or Wallace’s dad’s toolshed/workshop. I say again, nobody else is doing this kind of work in comic strips today.
How many of the kids besides Amelia whipped out their phone cameras?
Years ago, there was a warning to parents against sending little kids to school with anything other than basic white undies because some of them couldn’t resist showing off “favorite” undies. Wise advice…
Title panel: W&S (and gull) are waiting for the bus in early morning light (a cloud is also illuminated in pale primrose yellow). They stand at the corner of a high fence near the road. The scene has slightly fish-eye perspective.

The school bus is clearly always on time.

Spud always needs an excuse, which Wallace can be excused for excusing him. Bus, he just can’t win.

In second grade the girls would give the undies show on the monkey bars at recess.

Can’t say that in the many decades of my life that I’ve had an experience even remotely like that.

I wonder what nickname Spud will earn from this — Captain Underpants, maybe?

Anybody recall the Sunday where Spud was telling Amelia that his mother had purchased new fabric softener and how it was rocking his world?

At least Spud knows Wallace will have his back for this…even if the help isn’t exactly appreciated at the moment.
But then, neither of them exactly thought that through.

if Amelia had missed the bus, he might have gotten out alive.

Spud has set out to demonstrate that you can get sent to the principal’s office even before you get to school.

I find this all very weird. I never had the slightest desire to sit on cartoon characters. :)

When a day looks bleak, I can count on Wallace the Brave to make me smile. Thank you so much, Mr. Henry. And I love Spud.

I love how Wil Henry will post a comic and it sparks countless random but intriguing conversations
