Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for August 17, 2021

There he goes again …

Spud is great at direction, but occasionally out of his depth.

I feel I’ve seen this one already… I may be having a dé·jà vu moment, or there is a glitch on my time-space continuum! ¯\("-)/¯

Why does spud keep doing this???!

You’d think he would’ve learned from the corn field incident.

The human compass definitely needs GPS.

Pride goeth before a what, Spud..?

Wrong type of compass Spud!

Spud gets a wake-up call.

Spud, Human Compass and Water Dowser.

Watch the hubris, Spud

When I was a little older than they are, we moved to a town on the north bank of a river. I always had a sense of where the river was and got to be known for an unerring sense of direction. 3 years later, we moved away and I’ve been lost ever since! I have NO sense of direction!

Spud knows how to make an entrance with a great splash.

Don’t worry, the cold water will jolt him back to reality nicely.

Except for what’s obvious of course…..

Seconds later: I meant to do that…

Ah, pride before the fall. The confident direct path to disaster.

Will, thank you for your wonderful comic! Your drawings come alive each morning and brighten the day. As a fan of Krazy, I am going to assume you have my friend, Michael Tisserand’s wonderful biography, “Krazy: George Herriman A Life In Black & White”. Just in case you don’t, here’s a link to the website: www.michaeltisserand.com/krazy Keep up the great work!!!

Taking a much needed break from an overcast and gloomy day. I can ALWAYS count on Wallace and friends along with Rory and friends at the BARN (by Ralph Hagan) to brighten my day. Thank you for all your art and stories.

Here in Tulsa, I get Wallace in the paper, but I read it again at GoComics, just to enjoy the color and make sure I don’t miss anything!

This is kind of like my life experiences. Just when I’m sure of myself in doing something, WHAM! Major screw up on my part.

Spud’s vest is actually inflatable water wings his mother makes him wear ever since the fifth time he’s stepped off the dock.

Finally got back to writing and editing my current book. That means I have to postpone reading comics until the afternoon though.

“I just wish I’d have hit the water.” “Who’s boat was that, anyway?”

I love this strip, without doubt it is my favourite; so Thank You, Mr Henry.I am on annual leave this week, and so far today I spent most of the morning reading “The Thursday Murder Club”; then I made a trifle for my birthday tomorrow; cut out some fabric for a bag I will be making as a gift; then I went for a ride on my little arab mare.Now I think I hear a glass of wine calling me…

Excellent strip today. Perfect comedy timing, Spud.
