Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for April 29, 2023

Laughing!!

A wonderful SPLOOSH and seeing Spud absent-mindedly walking off the pier never gets old!

Best sploosh ever!

Spud’s hair looks even weirder when wet. But the vertical SPLOOSH portrays the action perfectly.

The most massively useful thing in the universe.

A towel? Hope the Vogons are not here.

Check your pockets for fish and worse, Spud.

So, the backpack is full of towels?

I bet it’s lovely~right off the line.

Surprised the fish. They didn’t see that (Spud) coming…

Wallace is way ahead of you Spud.

Predictable kid.

Spud … always the fall guy.

Apparently, Seagull got there ahead of the boys.

Almost looks premeditated.

Pier + Spud = ? Even easier than 1 + 1.

Your best friend knows you better than you know yourself.

And he never panics. Because, it’s mostly harmless.

I always knew that Wallace was one hoppy frood.

Perfect. Love the Sploosh.

Wallace learned that you must be always ready.

He just knows you well, Spud, that’s all.

I’m enjoying the single panel walks you’ve been drawing, Will. Psuedo-motion comics-like…

Well, he did say that he was putting his foot down!

So – walking down the pier with no boat at the end and Spud assumes they’re going on an adventure?

I would have flourished with a friend like Wallace :)) I’d be the one bringing a towel for my accident prone friend..

Backpacks are handy.

First step off the dock of the year. It must be Spring.

Wallace is a true friend.

Spud finally becomes assertive, then Wallace steps up and helps a bud out.

Nothing real risky; just falling off a dock thank you….

Bwa ha ha! Oh, I love Spud.

“I’m putting my foot down…not necessarily on anything solid.”

Was that your best foot, Spud?

Merging the panels into one as they walk closer to us, like in the April 27 strip. Nice! It’s sort of cinematic.

Cue for Spud to have a backpack to carry a towel. :)
