Wallace would really like the Estonian sport of kiiking, in which, with enough momentum, the participant can do a 360 degree rotation over the fulcrum of the swing. The swings are specially designed with steel arms (not chain) and the current record height/length is just over 7 meters …
Sort of reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes Sunday strip wherein the whole strip is the two of them dancing. So much fun to follow the sequence. So much in there, so much fun to follow! Thanks, Mr Henry, for the smiles.
I did something like that once (when I was about 16) with a rope swing. As I was swinging back in to my landing point, the rope broke. Here it is approaching 58 years later, and I haven’t tried it again.

Sometimes you don’t have time to plan, you have to go with the moment.
Wallace’s mother would understand.

I like the bird keeping Wallace company on the limb.

It wouldn’t make for a good comic strip if Wallace thought anything through…

At this point I wonder why his dad even asks.

He just thought to himself “bet I could do that” and decided to find out.

I love the progression of panel 1. Top of panel: sees the tree. Middle of panel: gets the idea. Bottom of panel: goes for it!

When does wallace really ever think things through
GKBOWOOD Premium Member almost 3 years ago
Observation, theorization/ planning, and performance testing! This last step still needs some fine tuning…

All that info from just the eyes! Very well done Mr Henry!

Not unlike a lot of spending ideas put forth by the ruling party in Illinois.
