Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for October 21, 2023

At least he kept his underpants on, Amelia. Do you have any idea how uncomfortable going through the day in wet underpants is?

Wallace is going to make a great spirit.

Always enjoy Will’s ever-changing nicknames.

In October, I expect that’s not warm, gulf stream or no.

Even Seagull is aghast.

are we going to look for the red sea glass?

Is Seagull wearing Wallace’s shoes in the last panel..?!

Whoever said yesterday that the balloon probably fell into the water, nailed it.

Moves quick, doesn’t he, Amelia?

Way to go Wallace…….

Good Lad.

Last panel – seagull’s eyes!!

For a minute I thought The Seagull was wearing Wallace’s shoes.

As president of the local chapter of Radish Lovers of the Midwest, I wish to protest, once again, the use of “Radish” as an expletive or expression of disdain.

The spirit anthem is “If I only had a brain”, after all.

Wallace is always ready to do the right thing, no matter the inconvenience or discomfort.

I was wondering what would become of the balloon debris!!

HA! So that’s where the saying, keep your pants on, comes from!

Hopefully she knows how to deal with hypothermia.

Amelia (Will’s better half’s alter ego?) got both “YOU’RE” and “YOUR” correct in a single word bubble.

I haven’t bought balloons in YEARS because of the above-mentioned balloon debris. It never breaks down and animals eat it and die. Yes, this means my kid grew up without water balloon fights. Small price to pay. (reusable “water balloons” now exist, they look super cool. Two halves of a sphere, very soft, that close with a magnett so they pop open when they hit their target. Might get some for my nieces and nephews.)

We go from a deep (ish … ) pondering about the plans of the spirits, to standing on the beach in underpants. Interesting transition/shift. :)
