Leap Day Wallace Strikes AgainSPPD received several dozen complaints of an old man with a gill mutation and a blue and yellow suit harassing children throughout the day on February 29th. Police report that the elderly gentleman would say something mean or frightening to make the children cry, and then give them candy. The so called 'legend' of Leap Day Wallace is that he is a mutant that emerges from the sea every leap year to turn children's tears into candy, and encourage people to live their life with gusto on their extra day of life. Leap Day Wallace is generally considered a mere holiday-themed prank and not actually one specific individual. While the SPPD encourage citizens to report any nuisances, the rare, random appearance of the prankster makes it both difficult to track and prosecute.
"Is this for real?" asked one parent of a Leap Day Wallace 'victim'. "I could swear this is just the sort of thing the candy industry would think up to drum up business. It's mean to tease a child into crying just to give them sweets, though, and I've been trying to keep little Kylie away from sweets."
Mothers Against Newcomers has written a letter of complaint to a popular Op/Ed in the newspaper, claiming that Leap Day Wallace is an obvious product of newcomer maliciousness. The editor was quick to reply that Leap Day Wallace has appeared the last few leap years, and said "It's a shame he couldn't turn ignorance into candy, too."
