Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 08, 2024

OK —new guy Characters names are? And is the seagull a regular?

When Seagull is missing, we want answers! A regular, the universal commentator, useful and adorable. Beloved. Don’t know who the hall kids are, but what is the girl doing?

Does this mean that Spud is a knitwit?

Slip, Stitch and Pass!

Twisting the Night Away, Sam Cook, 1960 is the reference (My opinion).

TOUSLE for the win~~!

Does “hit machine” mean that’s the only we you can get the machine to work right?

Knit the night, hit the height Spud

He’s making socks for his sandals.

Oh, I’m knittin’ the night away, Cuz I had a crappy day, ohhh ohhh ohhh….

I’m not surprised that Spud has a mirror in his locker.

Lo-fi jazz + knitting = great combo Spud!

Jazz and knitting, only Spud.

I’d listen to it.

All the jazz records I played as a kid were lo-fi. I was using my Show-and-Tell record player – without filmstrip support engaged.

Spud Knight and the Knits

Takes one to know one. This comic is a hoot and a hit!

That sounds like a great evening to me!

Why not? They made songs about everything else…..

Are we going to be treated to another of Spud’s raps? Can’t wait!

My plans this evening too!

Spud will be his generation’s Mel Torme!

It’s official, Spud is my dream guy.

The kid’s a hit machine!

“Dim all the lights sweet darling, Spud’s gonna knit the night away!”

Wallace is a big source of inspiration.

I adore Spud and the way these kids/parents support each other in all their glory—quirks and all. We NEED more of this in the world.

Seagull doesn’t seem convinced in last panel.

Lo-fi jazz = playing jazz mono records on a tattered turntable. :P

Kid knitting is Spud and the other kid is Wallace. Also yes, Seagull is a regular.
