Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 07, 2023

You keep trying, Wallace.

Spud would get to heaven and complain that it’s too high up.

I love the bird nests!

Argh, I am Spud! Whenever I experience a perfect moment it’s usually marred by ‘if only I didn’t need the toilet’ or ‘but my feet hurt’. Beautiful scenery, I love the psychedelic sky.

Looks like I’m the only one wondering where those hot air balloons are going to set down at sea.

I wonder if even Mary Blair would have come up with that color scheme . . fantastic!

Hmm, sunrise, or sunset..?

Will Henry? Not Will Homer? I love the art.

Will Henry: “I paint what I sea.”

Fantastic artwork.

Absolutely beautiful!❤️

The human condition. Minutia overpowering the big picture. “Everything is so amazing! Yet no one is happy.”

Yes Spud. I too am overwhelmed with emotions.

As with all great art, it’s all about perspective.

Babylon Five TV series. Londo Molari: "I went to see my Father & he was sitting in his darkened room crying. I asked him, “Why are you crying?” And he replied, “I am crying because my feet hurt, because my shoes are too small. But, that is okay, because I have forgotten how to dance!” Spud, sweetie, you are way far tooo young to forget how to dance!!!

Babylon 5 reference?

Spud, Mr. Positivity.

Oh this is definitely sunrise for me (if it were sunset there would be more people out).

Wow, Will Henry, you got the light around the sun just right — I mean the white incandescent glow with the yellow sun in the middle. I have an afterimage just looking at it. Also I love the kids’ shadows: perfect detail. And the people walking on the beach. I guess Wallace and Spud have been up since 5:00 am, since it’s about 5:30 there now.

Balloon challenge! Who can fly closest to Neptune’s trident without suffering a prick

The sun’s reflection on the water – excellent

Give them to Sterling for a little bit then. Assuming they’re still intact by then, I’m sure they’ll be all stretched out and a little roomier by then.

Stunorgeoustiful!

I’d say sunrise because hot air balloons fly at sunrise when the air is cool.

There is beauty all around us friends. Quit worrying about your sicks and you’ll see.

Be well!

So brave. :)

Yes. We all have our problems…..

Gorgeous

Is the statue of Wallace’s mother or a relative?

I could never pick a favorite of Mr. Henry’s, but this is way up there.

Hey, so are mine!

My shoes are too tight. But it doesn’t matter, because I have forgotten how to dance.

Why do the rocks in the distance have Bunting/Pendants on them? Could there be an evil spirit bound to the rock and the protective wards are preventing its escape?

So gorgeous, Will!! And too-tight socks are so unpleasantly distracting.

MAGNIFICENT!! It’s beautiful. Poor Spudly.

Well said, Spud, well said.

How do I make this strip go to full screen? :-)

In talking about depictions of atmospheric effects in music, Peter Schickele pointed out that the sky flaunts its most spectacular colors just before sunrise and just after sunset, not while the bright light is above the horizon. The popping up of the blazing orb is treated as a climax, but actually the show is over then.

The joke that Spud has a physical gripe and can’t enjoy the vista before him.

Spud is wearing his mom’s compression socks again!

Yes

Sounds like Spud might be HSP.

yes they are, spud. yes they are.
