When you feel an obligation to supervise your younger siblings, the big brother monitoring station becomes a critical place.
Frankie Suave tries to act nonchalant about the behavior of his younger brothers, but the reality is that he feels responsible to keep them out of trouble. And with Typhoon and Landon, that can be a considerable amount of work. By claiming the corner of the deck that transitions out to the yard, he has a perfect position just like a lifeguard at a swimming point. And just like that lifeguard, sometimes he has to blow the whistle.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
But Frankie, Landon says he isn’t running…he’s flying!
Frankie’s such a handsome boy.
It’s a tough job keeping those younguns out of trouble Frankie!
