Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for October 16, 2024

Vicious little tykes.

The red rectangle is such a great touch.

What shape are you in?

Those kindergarteners always got an angle.

And, of course, there it is right next to his head

Isn’t his head really more of a cylinder?

Even kindergartners know Spud isn’t a man.

Bubbler? It’s a drinking fountain.

Heady description!!!

and thus a legend is born

Now I have the song “Rubber Band Man” stuck in my head!

At least he’s not shaped like a stop sign!!

#blockheadsunite

Oh, Spudrick ;+))

At least they didn’t call him “block head”!

The Spud is too hip to be square.

What’s with the shadows of their feet, but nothing else?

Alice would call him a ‘Bucket Head’… Kindergartners are just grown uh-oh babies…Run!!!

The Bubbler? In what country do they call a water-fountain a “Bubbler”?

Ha! That’s some great framing in panel three!

Rectangle man, Rectangle manDoing the things a rectangle can… Apologies to They Might be Giants.

“Bubbler”. Ye gods, haven’t heard that in decades.

…….and they never lie…………honesty?

Did Seagull help them escape?

That’s “Rectangle BOY” actually. Rectangle Man is his father.

Any relationship between Spud and Kevin?:

My high school English teacher (from Wisconsin) told us one time about the first time she asked where the bubbler was in a store or something in New York, and nobody understand what she had meant. All of us, being from New York or New Jersey, had no idea what she was talking about, either.

So basically…the kindergartners recognized what should’ve been obvious to everyone else. :P

I wonder if Spud is related to Kevin the bucket head kid in Cul de Sac .

At least he’s not “Triangle Man”

Amelia would clue you in, Spud.

Because his head is too long to be a square. :)

“Rectangle Man” lol, reminds of me (I think it’s) Kevin Buckethead from Cul de Sac…

Australia!

Those kids know their shapes!

School is cool!

8^)

So, is Spud a chip off the old block?

Well, Spud . . .

Never knew Maine called it a bubbler. Only thought that was in Wisconsin.

Nothing more frightening than a herd of feral kiddiegardners.

Ah, Mr.Henry – you truly are from the New England area. I have not heard said water dispensing device referred to as “bubbler” (pronounced ‘bubb-lah’) since I left elementary school in the middle of the last century.

Great foreshadowing by will henry.
