Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for August 25, 2023

Love … and trust.

Dad’s face in last panel…now I know where Sterling gets his looks!

Never did that. Didn’t know how to swim until I was 14 and even then taught myself. Could be fun.

You all notice Spud isn’t in the water? And is wearing life jacket? Yep, single, over protective mother…..

No Sterling. Good call, Dad.

That’s some serious air. Dad’s got the makings of an Olympic hurler.

That’s some real Dading there.

Best comic ever!

I love that happy (allbeit rare) Amelia face.

Spud is at least marginally participating!

Love Dad’s chest hair, lol

Ok, little kid, that cheddar was my lunch – you’re next

Spud and Rose are not sure. Amelia is totally on board! Seagull not impressed – not much height, poor landing.

Spud looks like he’s being eaten by his life jacket.

I remember when dad and I would stand in the lake, he’d hold me by the armpits .Then crouch down, the shoot upwards tossing me at his apex……. whattta blast. That was many years ago now

Dad is going to be sore tonight.

In between high and low tide, we used to jump from piers. The game was to dodge people jumping after you.

Awwwwww… Adorable! I think Amelia will ask him to throw her like that.

Spuds eyes. Wide with shock.

My turn! My turn!

Ha-ha, I remember back to still being small enough for my own dad to do something similar. Bit too big now to be doing it now, though. :P

Fun.. something every father should do with his kids (and their friends)….. providing they are comfortable and can swim.

But you gotta sing the “I want to fly like a super man” line from the Kinks before the release! Everyone know that…

I used to shotput my kids in the pool alternating between height & distance. Every summer shorter and shorter

And the little Rose toes, aww. I want to be chilling on that boat!!

If you see him picking up Sterling next, call DCFS.

It’s how Dads show their love…..

Spuds Hiding: Not me!

I learned to swim at a young age, so this was so fun when my dad did this!

I feel like that last seen would be a lot more accurate if it was Sterling instead of Wallace.

Living a childhood vicariously through Wallace.. better than I could imagine

My back is sore just watching that toss!

This is both funny and sweet.

Spud next! Spud next! If anything, just for the ear shattering scream.

The was me with my kids…

Pitch-perfect…in more ways than one. This strip is just SO far above almost all others at this point.
