Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for February 17, 2023

I was not expecting to see the word “acktually” anywhere other than YouTube comments, but whaddaya know

The town spoiler, it’s their only source of enjoyment.

no one asked you, buddy, to ruin the climax

True Comic Geeks do not like “spoilers”.

Did they have to leave Seagull outside?

“Clone.”

There is a gull on the cover of a book. That may count (?)

150 is presumably the current issue (since Wallace and his Mom haven’t read it yet) but the store already has it in protective Mylar! Now that’s service!

Geek wants to lose a sale.

The Hip-ter? And is the gull’s name Gus..?

Is the geek’s name Sheldon?

The back room of many a comic shop is littered with the bones of store clerks who gave away the end of a story.

I wish I had all my old comics from the 60s. I’d be comfortably retired.

What a mom…

Attack of the Spoiler.

What is wrong with this guy?!? If I want spoilers I’ll look it up on Wikipedia, thank you very much.

Don’t hit someone with glasses. Two shin kicks and a foot stomp might, just might, keep the spoiler to himself. On the other hand, you might save the world from a future Cliff Claven. “It’s a well-known fact there Nahmie”

I like the old style comic books that didn’t go on and on and on and on forever making you buy them to find out what happens. Even worse you would have to buy other comics to find out what happened in the original one. Marvel is great at marketing.

That “no” is big and red . .

Looks like Stewart from BBT sold a franchise.

Don’t, or they’ll give you an even worse lisp than you’ve already got.

" Worst – Comic Store Clerk – EVER !!! " … :)

Coolest mom EVER!!

Coolest mom, ever!

My parents accepted my comic book fanaticism but never embraced it. My mom did read Manga forever, but not American Comic Books. Also, most of her Manga was romantic with comedy. I recall they were well drawn, in Japanese, and every issue had a gratuitous boob and bottom shot, usually due to some comic mix-up.

Mom picked up a comic book once a while back and now she’s hooked. Wallace gets his coolness from her. I mean she still surfs.

Tiger Mom

There is a special place in Hell for people that spoil books, movies, or TV shows intentionally. The hottest part of that is for people who spoil books.

It’s great that Wallace’s Mom encourages his comic book reading habit (inspiring a love of literacy!) instead of being the Mom who throws out her son’s comic book collection, calling it “trash”. The world is filled with those Moms.

Will Henry, I’m still waiting for the complete Shwaps backstory you mentioned years ago. Perhaps there could be a Wallace/Shwaps crossover event.

Nice to see that Mom likes comics, too.
