Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 27, 2021

Dad: “Write when you find work! Or, if you get hungry. I have extra chum here, if Sterling doesn’t get to it first!”

even the gull is too smart for that adventure…

I wonder what Wallace named his boat? Its shape reminds me of Gerald Durrell’s ungainly little tub, which was christened The Bootle-Bumtrinket.

Please, don’t tell, it’s the end!

“Maybe reconsider”

“Call us”, like there’s a pay phone there!

Wallace is going to wish he had those shoes!

Time to start the engine, Dad.

Could this be a story arc?

“What could possibly go wrong?” ought to be Wallace’s motto.

Sigh. Rose is the only one that want him to stay. So sweet ♡♡♡.

Send us a postcard!

The kid has NO risk aversion!

Love the “Maybe Reconsider” sign…

Until the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches run out. About noon at the latest.

Something tells me he won’t clear the harbor. Maybe the lack of a rudder. I also imagine Sterling turning to his dad and asking “We got any torpedoes on this tub?”, and his dad responding “Maybe next time”.

This definitely needs some kind of nautical sound track in the background with someone like James Brolin or Kris Kristofferson doing the narration.

He’ll be wanting those shoes back (and socks!).

Looks like he’s setting off in the correct direction, at least!

The brevity of braveness

2 minutes later spud is swimming as fast as he can to Wallace’s little boat seeing his food supply…

Better go and fetch him, Dad, before he capsizes and sinks with all that winter garb on.

I can’t think of an appropriate comment for this “cartoon gold” panel today! Brilliant!

Lots to look over and ponder- these panels are great!

Poor sterling must not have made the cut to go on the trip.

I love Rose’s “maybe reconsider” sign. :-)

Dear little Rose … so level-headed. I love her so!

I don’t like the summer heat either Wallace ;) Sweltering at 103 Fahrenheit. It’s supposed to get up to 109-111 tomorrow. :p

I’m with Rose! (And with all you folks who love Rose.)

Rose, the realist in the storm of crazy imagination.

“I can’t come back; I don’t know how it works.”

guys it may be small but there is a wormhole in the boat where all the stuff is stored and space for wallace to walk around

i like everyone is like go wallace bye and call us and all that but rose is like maybe reconsidervery wholesome gets 8 buckets out of 10 wallaces

Logistical fail. Dad is on the way.

Going from Rhode Island to Antarctica, he will first go through the tropics and he is seriously overdressed for that.

“Maybe reconsider” I love it

Notice the sun looks like a cinnamon bun?

Roses sign fits her personality very well

Honestly I think those two would make a good couple one day. Rose needs Wallace’s sense of adventure and Wallace needs a partner who loves adventuerous spirit and adventures but also keeps them from destroying him , Spud or the entire town (Amelia is made of granite. She’ll be fine).

Rose has only reasonable sign.

Bye!

“Maybe reconsider”!

I love the seagull waving and Rose’s sign.
