Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for September 10, 2020

Well my mouth is hanging open. Actually we’ve spent the summer with Wallace, anything is possible in his world.

Being new to this strip, I’ll suggest that Wallace is about to lay one.

The build-up to that statement ought to be fascinating!

Momentarily possessed by the fiery speaking style of Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Just a reality check, as I haven’t been inside a classroom in over 40 years. The chalkboard behind the teacher makes me wonder…

Do any U.S. classrooms still have chalkboards? As in what were once blackboards, sometimes so-called even after most were green? (The awkward term greenboards never quite caught on where I lived.) Or have they been superseded by “dry-erase boards” (aka whiteboards), or PowerPoint media, or so-called overhead projectors, or some combination of those, or something else entirely?

If humans laid eggs, it would make it easier to eat the (protein) rich!

We are missing the vital question here… What happened to Wallace’s swim trunks?

…that were parasitic on caterpillars?!

The seagull must have been late to class. It only shows up in panel 3.

Isn’t the bigger question going begging here? What kind of egg is he thinking? Chicken, duck, dinosaur, Fabergé. ..?

Can’t be human because that egg would have been cracked by the loneliness of the long distance swimmer.

Enquiring minds want to know.

I like that the seagull appeared just for an instant during Wallace’s big reveal then disappeared again.

Context, Wallace, context.

I am speechless after that.

As an instructor in Speech, I will say that he gave a “GREAT” attention getting opener; though I am not sure where he goes from here…..

What in the world are those pink things on the teacher’s desk? I enlarged the pic, but that didn’t help.

Panel one:Is the teacher nestling the seagull in her right arm?

Amanda went before Wallace so how is the teacher still so calm?

Panel two:Definitely a chalk board.

Spiral bound notebook, must be left from last year since the facing page is used, unless it’s bigfoot notes from the summer.

Panel three:Having spent significant time with Wallace the seagull is still surprised, does not bode well (or maybe does for us fans).

Panel four:How are pages out of order with a spiral bound notebook?

What is the message on the teacher’s desk and is it written in macaroni?

Again, thank you Mr. Henry for so much beyond the top layer.

I’m just sorry to miss the build up to that dramatic expostulation!

Shall we experience the path and the conclusion? What of the one pound of butter?

And the shark who is questioning his own taste?

Well, we sort of do…

Vrusks lay eggs, Dralasites have “buds” and Yazirians live birth like humans.

What I would have wanted to know, if I were Wallace, was how humongous dinosaurs like sauropods, that weighed 60 tons, managed to have sex without killing one another?

Well, we do. Kinda.

Well, the shes do. Kinda.

The perils of hard copy.

This is the type of comic strip you send to your friends because it will confuse them and make them laugh at the same time
