Interview: Dav Wallace
Tarzan’s Tripes first interviewed Dav in 2011, after he took second place in Punslingers. Dav won Punslingers last year, but the complexities of my having a then six-month-old kept me from interviewing him.
This year, Dav tied for third place in Punslingers, after falling to eventual winner Ben Ziek in the semi-finals.
He graciously agreed to be interviewed again this year.

Interview: Dav Wallace
Yes, he spells his name “Dav”.
When Dav was in high school, there was a history assignment which required them to design and draw an Egyptian pyramid in which we would want to be entombed. His was fairly elaborate with hidden passages, traps, etc., plus a large spinning neon sign that read “DAV” (there was a line over the “A”).
