Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for December 01, 2023

She’s quite right, the belief that HD was an egg was due to Tenniel’s illustrations.

By Will the Egg today.

She is good.

Minds. Blown. Including seagull’s.

Now ruin Jingle Bells!

Dig Seagull, shocked!

That’s because it was a riddle, and ‘an egg’ was the answer.

Humpty Dumpty was actually a camel

Rose has been waiting a long time to zing that one out!!

Panel 1) Spuds expression over Amelias hypothetical situation OR comin’ up with a rap to give Amelia the flower to.Panel 2) Super cool end of the stone wall thingy Rose is leaning against.Panel 3) Even the flower did a double take on that info as well!

& I love the stone walls

Thanks, never knew that and I was a school librarian! :-)

“It’s a parable, Humpty Dumpty is the king.”-Schmidt

“I’m here all day.” Good one, Rose.

“You sent horses? I’M AN EGG! Why would you send HORSES?”

Humpty Dumpty was later known as King George III, the king with mental illness who lost the American colonies.

Whoa.

Do you think the king’s men might have been able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again if they hadn’t let the horses try first?

mind blown

There are theories that it originally referred to a large cannon mounted atop a fortress’s battlements, or King Charles I who was deposed and executed (thus the reference to the king’s horses and men).

Enjoy it while you can, Rose. In a few years, you¨ll be known as the annoying nerd who says “ACTUALLY…”

Whoa!

Thank you Rose but it is implied that he was in pieces.

Humpty Dumpty was a medieval cannon, when fired the first time it blew itself back off the wall.

No one really knows. Many theories. However, it is a cute rhyme…..

What??? Next thing you know she’ll say Santa Clause is a myth!

“The name is Bond. James Bond.”

“Ah. The name is Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty.”

The Google cannot find an origin. Several theories.

Thanks, Miss Know-it-all, now go away.

Even Spud’s flower drooped after that revelation!

Humpty was a soggy Halloween squash. Admittedly not as charming.

Humpty Dumpty was actually a canon. It wasn’t until Lewis Carol’s Through the Looking Glass that he was depicted as an egg and pop culture did the rest.

Makes the rhyme a lot more macabre. . .

That explains everything.

I wrote a prequel to clarify it. Humpty Dumpty, the prequel, ©2023 JB Claussen – On a hill in a quaint and quiet place, Lived a fragile egg, with a round and smooth face. Humpty Dumpty, his name we’ll bestow, From whence he hailed, we’ll never know.

Drunken king: “If my men couldn’t put him back together, let the horses have a go at it!”

HAHA “I’m here all day” hahaha

Rose is sitting on a wall. Be careful, Rose!

it is commonly believed that humpty dumpty was a cannon instead that was destroyed and needed to be rebuilt

Rose could single-handedly tear apart the fabric of reality.
