Here they are, the top 10 of this year’s artwork contest! You really need to check out these amazing pieces of art!
- Yuna: Black holes love to play hide and seek!
- Matthew: You learn something new every day…!
- Yuna: Therefore, I’ve developed a protective cover so that one can touch Wally safely.
- Yuna: Let’s go!
- Yuna: Now what do you think, Matthew,…
- Yuna: Where’s Wally?

Oh, ha ha. That’s why it’s called “Wally”.
Admit it, Novil, you name it like that just for that joke…
Was all this story arc built up just for a Where’s Waldo joke?!?
If the last 11 strips were just a buildup to this joke, then I wouldn’t even know how to feel.
So where would Yuna rank on the Mad Science/Spark scale?
Well, there surely must be more to it than just the Waldo-Wally-joke. Maybe if we look carefully at the picture or tweak its colors or…..
[five minutes of searching]
Please…! No…!
…this was all a build up to a “Where’s Wally” joke wasn’t it?
Searching for a black hole… Nothing could possibly go wrong here.
In Soviet Russia the black hole finds you.
Sooooooooooo… She wants him to find her black hole. Yeah, no possible way there’s any double meaning there. 🙄
@ JonesNate:
Also, judging by the lines of the zip zip panel, I’m guessing Wally is inside that backpack at the foot of her bed.
Are we supposed to be able to spot him?
Hah!! I love this one, Novil AND Powree!!!
For those interested, Outside America, Waldo is known as Wally.
Dats the joke.

I don’t think so. Or else he’d named it “Walter” in the German version, not “Werner”.

According to wikipedia the author of the original book was British. And it seems like the name has been localized to “Walter”, “Willy”, “Charlie”, “Holger” and even things “Jura” or “Ali”.
Laws of HTF did it get There?! say wedged in the desk frame under the bottom desk drawer’s back where it meets the wall.
You know what? If this arc ended here, I would be happy. I mean, if there’s more, I won’t complain, but this is nice. Yuna has a new friend, someone who can appreciate her scientific inclinations; and furthermore, this page makes me laugh at a very satisfying volume.
@ JonesNate:
Wow, dude. She’s like 10 at the oldest.
Let me guess, if you take the Color value of the last Panel, there is one pixel, that’s pure black. This is where Wally is hiding. I don’t have the tools to check, though.

That’s a good idea, Regis. There’s a lot of black in the linework, the hair, and the boy’s shirt. But everything I’ve tested says RGB 1-1-1 HSV 0-0-1. I don’t know if it’s a pun, a logic puzzle, or something to do with identifying the two pictures on the wall. For some reason I want to try looking at the last panel with a pair of 3d glasses, like those “read the secret message in this panel of dots” things.
For those interested, the pictures are from Boltzmann and Maxwell
Bad question… the realy question is “What would Wally do?” 😀
I see him! He’s at the desk, next to the row of pinpointed cards :3

A black hole with a Schwartzchild radius the size of a baseball would have a mass about the same as the Earth! How did she cancel out the inertia of that thing so it can bounce around the room without punching holes in the wall? Or even in the continental crust? The visible Hawking radiation from last page is telling me this thing is getting ready to either explode or turn into a neutron star about the size of her room. Either situation would be BAD, VERY BAD!
Hmm, could this actually be a form of life that is currently in some form of embryo stage instead, just misidentified as some other kind of thing instead? “Oh, look at my near-infinite gravitational field, that I can pick up with one hand!” It would hardly be the first time a living thing has been mistaken for something else entirely.
Judging from the missing leg, I’m guessing under her chair.
Black holes wear striped t-shirts and stocking caps?
That’s easy. Obviously Wally is in the washing machine, eating socks.
The walls of the room align to the x, y and z axes. Wally is at wall-y.
@ Freezer:
In her discussion with lord bunstable Agatha implies that manipulating time is just as impressive as manipulating gravity and since we only see top level sparks with huge empires manipulate time is Juna a top level spark.
To be more specific: if Agatha meets the Queen she states to her that she can see that Agatha is one who has taken a peek into infinity and after that she starts talking to her like she just started awakening as a Queen and even states that humans “are so interesting, so close to inifinity” so apparently Queens at least observe some kind of infinity.
Well Juna can at least manipulate semi-theoretical infinities: black holes have theoretical an infinite small core and perpeteeum mobile machines have infinite power potential, so apparently she is around queen scary spark. but not queen killing spark.
The one who comes closest is Crops creator.
@ JonesNate: You’re looking at the shoulder strap.
@ Freezer:
I’d say about 3 or 4 lab accidents from becoming a super villain.
All this for a Where’s Waldo? joke . . . colour me impressed!
Yes Waldo…I mean Wally! >_<
The handbag! There is no way she would have a handbag!!
BLACK HOLE ON THE LOOSE!!!
amd i the only one that mentally hears a clock begin to tick down when i hear “Where’s wally?”?
People seem to not remember Wally is in a protective shell so he’s basically a bouncy ball right now. First panel shows a white ball.
So we really should be looking at the color white not black.
He’s at the nose of the teddy bear. Teddy’s pupils are looking upwards in the previous comic and downwards on this one, so something must be pulling his pupils.

at least 86.
@ 627235:
LOL
Heh, friend had a tiny-ass narrow room when we were kids…. super bouncy balls were his favorite toys.

THAT explains everything.
I peeked at the comments firmly convinced that the entire place had been sucked into the black hole. Am I the only one thinking that? Then again, the walls may be covered in the same material as Yuna’s gloves.
There are no pure black pixels, which makes that theory a red herring.
I won’t be surprised if the answer is totally off-the-wall.
This thing can’t possibly have any walls. Maybe a better name woud be Event Horizonny.
This is even funnier in my country’s language, because here Waldo is actually called Wally. I’m sure this might also happen in other countries as well.
Somehow I think Wally cheated and hid in the FIRST panel.

Yeah. Entropy inventer was nice, but whatever she put the black hole into so it can BOUNCE must be breaking LOT of physical laws.
