Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 01, 2020

fast forward 10 years and Spud’s in the bushes with a steady-cam and some dreams

“Love gifts”. When he is 75 ( and living alone) he will still be obsessed with them.

Spud—looking for meaning in a found pine cone.

One of the rare days without Steven Seagull

This is so, so good.

So is this strip just set in a non-COVID world now?

Amelia know that the way to a man’s heart is through extensive psychoanalysis.

It’s just too easy. Spud, it’s just a pinecone.

But it’s a pinecone from AMELIA…who knows what darkness hides in the heart of men, er, sorry, Amelia.

The bee is humming Beethoven’s 5th.

Start plucking, Spud. “She loves me; she loves me not..”

They are made for each other

She’s evil.

I think I can see the smoke coming out of his ears from here…

What a mind-bender!

So no seagull today! I was expecting this to be about birds and bees.

She touched it.. that alone makes it special and qualifies as a keeper.

The meaning of life lies deep within…a pinecone.

Pine cones are interesting… they come in all shapes. I found one that looked like a t**d, and put it on my fellow worker’s chair a while back. I know he doesn’t mind that kind of humor. He immediately realized what it was and took it home to his kids. I put one of those in my drawer, hoping to save it to use as a practical joke… when I came back for it, the joke was on me. It had opened up and seeds had come out in the drawer. It was a cool-looking cone and I kept it on a shelf for decoration.

Any gift that m’lady brings unto me, no matter how humble, is to be cherished and revered. I shall hold it in my heart, and should I fall, I shall remember her.

I like to give out random gifts of insight or knowledge. Or both.

Speaking as one who has a mondo 12-inch pinecone at his office, and now keeps a lovely little 2-inch cone by his computer at home, I for one would accept a pinecone as a generous and thoughtful gift.

“Oh, please, Amelia! Not the Cone of Silence!”

Pine cones are the best type of present

Truly, truly I tell you, she’s in it JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT .

What does it mean? WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?
