Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for February 11, 2024

It’s 12:08 when I’m writing this

Where does Seagull keep those little sunglasses?

Amelia, CEO in 2034 of a company who has technology we don’t even understand

Throwing that perfect snowball felt like I had the whole world in my mitten.

Amelia’s a natural (and no additives or preservatives). I want her on my team.

There’s a great future in artisanal snow balls. It’s going to be the next big thing.

That’s our girl..running for Congress in 2037.

Amelia is going to be a very successful business woman when she grows up! :-))

Lords of War. BTW, did she instigate the snowball fight to create a market for her product?

champion snow packer, crafting the perfect sphere

What’s funny is, she might not even be lying :)

As my old buddy, P.T., once remarked to me, “There’s one born every minute.”

It’s all in the marketing.

Yep, that’s basically how advertising works.

Panel 4 & 5 – Seagull cracks me up.

Not to mention, it is also organic AND artisanal.

A fool and his money…

Amelia could sell snowballs in a blizzard, obviously.

Amelia has a bright future ahead of her!

Creating something of value… and marketing. Know your customer. A plausible back story helps.

Still one born every minute.

There’s one born every minute.

And the fool and his money doth part….

Seagull’s expression in panel 4 – Yes!!!

I think you meant “artisanal” there Amelia.

Bottled water has made millions doing this.

She’s a hustler. I like that in a woman……

Wonderful!

A sad commentary on consumerism. There are many products on the market that we were convinced we ‘need’ via marketing that we can use common household ingredients for. I’ve been brushing my teeth with coconut oil and a few drops of essential oil for about a decade, no problem, saved a bundle on toothpaste that has additives that actually damage teeth, “While cocamidopropyl betaine is generally considered safe, you may want to refrain from using this ingredient because of how harmful it is to the environment. Added to toothpaste to create a greater foaming effect, diethanolamine (DEA) is a hormone disrupter.”- for one

What happens if 2 kids come along?

When I was a kid, the really wicked snowballs were made from ice and gravel chunks scraped from the road.

She’s destined for great things. Or prison for fraud, or being a certian version of president. But the truth is she’s one of my favorites!

He still only has one. I hope he’s not going over to Calvin’s neighborhood.

The doctor is in!

Title panel: Amelia at the stand like in the first panel. “Wallace the Brave” written on the flags one letter at a time.

Is Amelia heading for an Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) style career and downfall if she keeps this up?

LMFAO Go get em champ!!
