Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 18, 2020

Wallace’s parents know the shoes are going into the drink, so they might as well enjoy the production.

If you can’t fight it…join it! And buy cheap shoes.

This is all a plot to keep Sterling from having to wear hand-me-down shoes!

Seagulls are so impatient. “Throw the shoes so we can eat popcorn already!”

Dad’s there so he can come dredge them up later..

I wish my town was like that

Mom now approves of this “tradition”, or is too lazy to fight Wallace about this. I bet the second option.

Keep a good eye on that popcorn, Pop. You have a fan.

Reminds me of my youth. The day school ended, no shoes. Didn’t toss mine into Casco Bay though!

So how many pairs of shoes are at the bottom of the bay?

The seagull in panel two looks like Sterling.

You sure those aren’t your baby shoes?

Dad has the right idea. But where is Sterling?

I once dropped a shoe in the ocean

I love Wallace’s parents philosophy

Look at all those kid’s faces- I love those purple pigtails.

What’s wrong with giving in? Popcorn anyone?

That sounds like something the folks of Cicely, Alaska would’ve done in Northern Exposure.

THE SEAGULL CAME TOO.

Jeez.Has it been a year, already?

Seagull rocks.

Seagull’s imperiously urges “Do it already!” :D
