Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for August 11, 2021

Mom – the unindicted co-conspirator of so much summer fun.

Seagull: “Heh heh heh… just wait for it…”

Sterling is growing up – no attempt to eat that butterfly in panel one…

I love Wallace’s Mom so much.

She’s the best mom ever♡♡♡.

This is the reason why Dads were created don’t you know?

´Pipe down’ is an awesome expression. Acceptable, yet very direct.

Who says what a lovely day to be warm and dry? It’s a setup!

This is so good! And I can also see Mom in a parallel universe (or 1960) as an aunt or grandmother, with a very un-PC cigarette in one hand, beer in the other, instructing the kids in a Lucille Ball baritone and backing away just to watch the fun.

Will the seagull become collateral damage?

You’d think Dad would learn by now. And is he deaf? Even I can hear the theme from Jaws building in the background!

Let’s not forget the important speaking part of dads and granddads to amp up the mischief reward. “I’m so warm and dry.” “I’m so glad I have this blanket over me.” I can’t wait to sit on this nice soft cushion.” …

Funny, there is a pipe down in the first panel :)

Mother of the year, every year….

What an oddly specific thing for you to say, Dad…

(you know, I wonder if he’s got at least an inkling of what’s coming to him already and is already internally braced for it…)

Clearly, Dad is in on the gig. “Warm and dry” bare-chested in his swim trunks seems suspicious. The bucket of “bait” that he probably just put down is filled with his own gallons. :)

As I’ve pointed out many times – middle aged white men, especially fathers, are fair game anymore since everyone else is taboo. Go ahead and throw water balloons at the guy who labors in fishing boat everyday to provide for his family…(we now return you to humorous comments)

Is it me, or Seagull saw Wallace, Sterling and Mom?

Heaven forbid you should get Mrs. Collins wet. Not a pretty sight, judging by the view into her bedroom window

Don’t hit anyone who might sue us.

I will remember this forever thanks Mrs. McClellan

Is the gull part of the family or just an acquaintance?

And for heavens sake don’t throw one at Amelia unless you e decided you have lived long enough.

Just got back on gocomics and as always wonderful comics will

HAHAHA They crack me up!!

Dad does not count as an adult apparently (and by the sound of it, he’s playing along!)
