I’m sure most of us have done this as a kid, or recently if you are a kid. Buried something so you could dig it up later, like a special treasure. Unless you forgot about it, it usually would not be long until you dug it up to rediscover things from your… “past”. As an adult this is something I inadvertently do, but it can be just as enjoyable. When you stuff some keepsakes in an old box in storage, or something gets scooted under a bed or stuck somewhere in a junk drawer. Then you find it some time in the future, and relive a few memories briefly in your head. Good times.
Wally and Osborne
A Webcomic about a polar bear and a penguin in Antarctica.
January 15th, 2008
Wow, has it already been almost 2 1/2 years since the last comic? Time flies.
I’ll be sad if this comic is dead, I really enjoyed it and was glad when I googled for the comic after getting irritated at Funbrain for repeating the comics and came across the official site.
I will have to say, this is good
3rd! NEW RECORD!!!!!
i made a time capsule once. but then i dug it out of my basement about 5-7 months later……kewl comic
Uh, there’s a first page, Nate.
Wow, its been so long since the last comic strip.
Its sad to see this comic die, it was so funny 
is this a repeat?
I miss Wally and Osbourne. Now I’m condemed to reading repeats. Sad, so sad.
That’s how it ends? No more?
almost 3 years…damn…found this link in my favorites..got excited…then saw no update..cmon give us something
Time to open up another time capsule after 2 years!
I love your comics!!!!!!!!!! Please continue them!!! If you don’t, do you have any other comics that you’ve writen?
What they said!…but seriously, is this dead?
3 years…
Tyler, today was my 15th birthday. I found my self grow up since you stopped making Wally and Osbourne. Looking back at my posts dominated by smileys and exclamation points, I just laugh. It’s been three years. I am going to stop checking back on this site now.
Goodbye, all.
it’s my favorite comics
DON’T DIE WALLY AND OSBOURNE WAAAAAAAAA Tyler, you at least need to officially announce it, don’t leave us in doubt! i’m just sad that i’ve only been enjoying this comic for a short while, we ( meaning Wally and Osbourne fans ) should protest! I am not giving up!
Unbleevialbe how well-written and informative this was.
When will you get off your lazy butt and make more W&A? You weren’t to busy to help Dave Kellet make his new site, but somehow you’re too busy to draw some dang comics? Weak.
I cant belive that this comic is dead! sob sob:( it was so funny. goodbye wwally and osborne, we will not forget the time osborne ate wally’s dandruff or drank foot ointment
I think that this comic itself is a time capsule as it is over 3 years old now!
Tyler Martin,
About 1 1/2 years ago, i created a strip called Simon & Riki. Now, i hadn’t heard of your strip until a couple months ago, and we might have a problem. You see. Simon & Riki is a strip about a penguin and a fish who have befriended each other. Now, ive got a newspaper interested in my strip, and i wish to avoid being sued. So, since we’ve got similar strips, i wanted to know if you cared whether a strip much like yours ran in a newspaper.
Please reply soon,
Simon & Riki Master
I can’t believe it. This webcomic is now dead. Why? As you can see, Tyler Martin lost his job. Pretty sad, huh?
pleas make more W&O, Taylor Martin. its the only comic that gives me joy.
I’m starting to give up on this entirely. I wish Taylor Martin would at least tell us, through a blog, what is going on and his reasons, or at least just “I’m not doing this anymore.”. And on the website, not twitter. He does this for free (at least, from what I know) and he doesn’t owe us anything to be fair, but for being loyal fans I think we at least deserve an explanation.
I used to really respect you Mr. Martin, but it’s been 3 1/2 years, 6 months away from 4, since your last update. I’ve been a fan for a long time. I estimate 8 years. I think this was my first webcomic I’ve read. I made a comment about a year ago as you can see above, I’m still checking this site just in case. That’s a long long time to wait to hear something about this comic. I can understand if you have been stressed out, busy with work and family, but sometime in almost 4 years you should of had at least the time to write out a short blurb saying a little of what’s going on and that you may write out a longer post in the future (if you have a long goodbye or something planned). This, this is just loosing you more fans (if you are going to start up the comic again I mean, you could at least say “We are on hiatus” so we know to check the site again).
I hope I don’t come off as bitter or being mean. I just really liked this comic and thought you were a neat person. I love that you did this webcomic, it introduced me to internet comics (thanks to Funbrain). Please, just give us a clue.
Im amazed that a webcomic that has been. . . stagnant . . . for this long a time still has so many followers. It shows how good of a comic this was
W AND O FOREVER
I completely understand Ellie & all the others!
Wally & Osborne even have fans in little Belgium, go figure!
It was our daily cup of humour and many oneliners still remain…
Would be really really nice to see this comic get back to life somehow!
I used to absolutely LOVE this comic when I was younger and I got discouraged when there were no new ones in ’08 but thought I would give it time…
3.5 years later, I grieve for it.
Why won’t you continue making W&O? I really love this comic. Now this website is slowly being devoured by ads…
I READ EVERY THING IN ONE DAY AND IM WHIT ELLIE YOU SHOULD WORN US EVEN DOUGH I ONLY COME ONCE TODAY BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD DO ANOTHER ONE OR AT LEIST TELL US YOU ARE NOT DOING THEM ANY MORE
I MENT SAD FACE
Well, my last comment was about a year ago… and my very first was about ~5 years ago. I’m not sure why I’m commenting here now—it seems pretty obvious that this comic has been dead for a while– but I wanted to come back just for the nostalgia. I was reminded of it when I saw the feed in my Google Reader(set up just in case it ever updated again-oh well). This comic was the very first webcomic I read, and it’s still one of the best. Well…it’s been fun, guys. And thank you, Mr. Martin, for an amazingly funny and witty webcomic.
Been refreshing this website for 4 years now, a new comic would be great.
