Heh, I remember there being a loosely similar spot at my own elementary school, but as it was at a major entrance, no one considered it all that super special…especially in the winter time, when the snow and arctic winds were at their most prominent. :P
Sort of a mini-Mt. Washington effect. One of the reasons the weather is so awful at the top is that there are three major weather systems colliding there.
On another note, the Seagull has taken over this comic. He’s in every panel most days and stands in silent anonymity in his greatness. His performance in the whoosh panel was a masterpiece.
My middle school had a spot like this, were if the wind hit it right it would form leaf cyclones. It was really popular, but too many students would block it.

Once again, how does a person, looking at you Will Henry, draw this stuff?

This what I like about Will. He tells it like it is. I don’t know what “is” is, but he does tell it that way.

You can see Spud’s squirrel and a bird blowing by. That is some panel with all those leaves, all that color. I want a poster of that panel.

Remember, as a kid, getting hit by a gust of wind? And how exciting that was?

The looks on Wallace’s face: “I’m spinning this yarn.” like when he tells his Bigfoot stories.

Hey Spud, how do you think the squirrel feels? “Oh no! Not again!”

More than likely a clump of leaves and not a squirrel unless it was a flying squirrel. Pretty cool though. Very nice Woooooshh art……

I appreciate Will’s art in that he takes different vantage points and the comic never feels stagnant artistically like most others .

As god is my witness, I didn’t think squirrels could fly. (with apologies to Mr. Carlsen, WKRP)
