Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for April 14, 2023

The facial expressions on today’s are great!

So, how bad a sinking feeling are they are all experiencing?

Spud sure is desperate.

It figures. Or doesn’t.

Setting it on fire would be more distracting.. Cue Sterling!

Lotta desperation and distraction going on these days.

Speaking of distraction, what is that in the lower right corner of the first panel?

Dad: “Spud? Who’s Spud?”

Poor Spud. I wonder what’s in store for him because of a poor score on a math test. He looks so worried :(

Desperate times require desperate measures…..

Which parent exactly is the grade monster in Wallace’s life?:

Sorry, kids. You’re both sunk.

Seagull is not there to console them! … Where is he?! … :)

Something doesn’t add up.

Dad says ‘lets hear it’ doesn’t say ‘no’. He knows there is a backstory with Wallace and Spud.

Um… Mr. McClellan? Fisherman Hauls In Military Rocket Off Maine CoastDaily Caller ^ | April 13, 2023 3:16 PM ET | ALYSSA BLAKEMOREPosted on 4/14/2023, 7:56:35 AM by Red Badger

A lobsterman says he pulled in a surprising catch Monday while fishing 20 miles off the coast of Maine.

Captain Cameron Pease of Cushing, Maine, discovered a five-foot military rocket tangled in his trawler’s rope Monday afternoon, WABI reported. Pease notified a local warden Tuesday, who contacted the Maine State Police Bomb Squad to detonate the 150-pound weapon.

At their age maths would be very simple, just add, subtract, multiply and divide in single operation equations. No rocket surgery or brain science. Yet.

With the brouhaha that some teachers aren’t using grades, I bet the new “grades” are 1-Did well, 2-Could do better, 3-Good effort but, and 4-Not so hot.

At least they are not trying to run away.

I really want to meet Spud’s mother and learn more of his story. Then again, maybe just knowing he’s in a somewhat chaotic but loving single-parent household is enough. He’s better off than Trout in “Agnes.”

It won’t school is important so take your lumps and rethink your lives.

Let’s hope there’s a nice curve on this one, and it was tough for everyone (except maybe we-know-who-begins-with-R).
