Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for April 29, 2021

There’s likely a deadman’s switch for the power in case Wallace manages to get to a power tool. (Not sure how anything in the reciprocating saw family would be used to sharpen a large pencil—maybe that’s the problem.)

Wallace, thy reputation doth precede thee.

Have a friend who runs a shop class in middle school about 40 miles from here. Hes very popular. Huge guy, very loud, well liked. My high school shop teacher was a wwII vet, gruff and a bit mean. I loved shop class. I could arc weld some. Because I could draw, that meant hand control, so he put in spots where I could do some delicate welding on the stuff we built, from stock trailers to BBQ grills. We burned up quite a few welding rods.

even the seagull is laughing they all if they let wallace do it he would SHARPEN THE WHOLE ROOM

you know when somebody is angry when a unibrow suddenly develops

Use the chainsaw! Use the chainsaw! Even the seagull wants to use the chainsaw!

Teacher thinks he’s got it bad? Wait until they turn Sterling loose on the school ; )

Cutting edge humor, indeed..!

I’m afraid Big Betty will soon be called Miss Stubby.

I thought the “heh” was a sawdust cough.

Jus an awkward chuckle, I guess.

heh heh heh.

Wallace is not the sharpest tool in the shed!

I dunno what is going on. But it’s kinda creepy.

This will not end well…

The shop teacher, Spud, and the seagull share a joke at Wallace’s expense. I believe at the end of this someone will be crying. But whom will it be?!? Exciting times!

Wallace 9 Fingers (following up on the Lord of the Rings theme discussed a few days ago).

Spud, Mr. Hayes and Henry the Seagull all know Wallace should not be near power tools.

I hope they have lots of bandaids.

That better be a nervous laugh

Unleash the KRAKEN………

Yeah, everybody in this room knows better than to let you do that, Wallace.

We once had a new shop teacher start at our school and lets just say he lacked “classroom management skills.” He got let go at the semester and the teacher who replaced him discovered throwing starts all over the room; including stuck in the walls!

classic spud

Hmmm. Sabre saw doesn’t exactly seem like a preferred tool for sharpening a pencil, even a giant size one – I think I would vote for sander and wood lathe.

… and Wallace is the easygoing child in that family. You just wait, Mr Hayes

If God hadn’t intended us to cut off appendages, he wouldn’t have given us so many.

I love that the seagull laughed. Heh.

Dude, what kind of shop teacher are you? The lead is going to gunk up your sander.

Clearly, Wallace does not appreciate everyone’s amusement!

Didn’t Wallace see his picture on the door to the shop?

When I was a kid in the 50s, my father had a table saw, which was scary enough, but he also had a table planer, which gives me the flying heebie-jeebies after over sixty years.

Love the seagull’s snickering; I’m also reminded of Urkel.

Seagull going ‘heh heh heh’ along is hilarious.

Even the seagull chuckles.
