Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 29, 2025

Hi back at that house. Hmm. Alien head outside the dome?

“And to the left is the domed city of ‘Muskovania’.”

Yes, Spud, exactly that.

“Pizza Crater?”

“Do Not Open Dome” .. Uh oh

Tars Tarkus is Jeddak of Thark!

Sure thing, Crater Face!!

No seagulls on Mars!

The “Spud Depression”

A crater, or maybe a village – “Spudville”.

Spud’s goal to have a crater named after him? Well sure, who wouldn’t want that?

Ralph Kramden often threateded to send his wife Alice to the moon.

Apparently, the moon is not far enough for Spud’s mother.

Is it Spud Crater or Tater Crater?

I found out just recently that they’ve actually given areas on Mars earth names. There’s a Philadelphia, Mars. Also New Haven and Charleston.

“Spud Crater” does have a nice ring to it…

One of the things I love about Spud and Wallace’s friendship is their acceptance of each other and their individuality. There is no expectations or judgement between these two. Just two best friends here for each other’s quirks, passions, and eccentricities.

grok rock

A good time to be their ages in that this could possibly happen during their lives……

Lol, the dome having an random door with “dont open” is a amusing touch

The Greater Spud Crater.

Alice, bang! zoom! To the moon!

The way Wallace often has his arms I think he’s channeling Sponge Bob, “I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready!”

alas, they’ve already been naming the features of mars for decades, maybe centuries

If Elon is going to be there, i’ll stay here.

I hope that door opens inward…

……..maybe a candy bar!!!!!

Watched 2001 when it first came out; was in high school then. Thought for sure we’d have colonies in space by now. Dreamed of retiring on Titan – imagine waking up every morning to a spectacular view of Saturn.

Maybe musky can take that trip to Mars. That’s one pay per view for which I’d toss some cash.

Olympus Spud

The ancient Lunar Lander computer game (simple text, written in BASIC) involved trying to apply the right thrust for a soft landing on the moon. If you ran out of fuel and hit really hard, it would display “Congratulations, you created a new crater that will be named in your honor, posthumously!”

I assume that’s not what Spud is trying for.
