Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for September 13, 2021

OVERLOAD!!!

not used to success much spud?

maybe a fall off the dock will get you in your comfort zone…

Wallace knows the signs. He better – Spud’s having a heart attack. Again.

For those of you who may never have spent many a pleasant hour winning game after game of pinball, . . .

There is an electromagnetic piston inside the pinball machine which BANGS against the wooden wall or floor of the machine when a free game has been won. The sound is very loud and very rewarding. More of a POP than a PAP, but that’s not important.

(It’s been a lot of years. I wonder if I still have the reflexes. I can’t remember the last pinball machine I saw.)

What/who is saying “no” in the A opening? Can’t make it out!

Mecha Moby Dick. Now theres a concept. Cool.

“PAP”? I might accept “FWAP”, but around these parts the extra-game noise has always been “THWHOCK”. Three extra games at one time is “THWHOCK-OCK-OCK”.

I keep a box in front of my pinball machine for the grand kids…

Only in New England would there be a market for a Mecha Moby Dick pinball machine . .

Spud’s not used to winning anything!

Spud must have conked his head when he fell.

I vote that the seagull we always see in the background will be named jerry

Too much stress for Spud.

Those eyes! Those eyes! Overload!

Googled “Space Cadet Pinball” game that was on XP and found it for 10. Love that game.

A possible symptom of it but not happiness itself…..

“He’s a pinball wizard – there has to be a twist”

The Spudster wins and faints.

Always loved the loud rap when you won the free game.

I think Wallace should have been there with his Dad- Spud’s not really into Pinball.

I’m surprised the seagull wasn’t scared by the free games noise, like Spud was.

i loved playing pinball as a kid. i wasn’t real good at it but i still enjoyed it just the same especially when i would play it along with my nieces and nephews.

I think this is a coincidence but the coin slot looks like it says ‘BD’ which in French stands for ‘Bande Dessinée’ (usually shortened to BD) which means Comic strip/book!

Oh, that is one of the best sounds in the world!
