Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for April 11, 2024

Looks like she’s doing alright, assuming Wallace was her target.

Quite a hit. A wunk and plenty of stars.

I put the odds at 43:1 that a thrown frisbee would pass right by Spud and hit anyone standing next to him. Spud is the schlimazel.

Careful, Spud. Meagan might have meant that for you.

Beaver: “Golly gee, Wally, you’re having a bad week!”

Yeah, Meagan! Learn to throw! When Amelia hits someone like that, she’s aiming for them.

Ouch, what a wunk.

She knows how to throw. He aim needs work, though.

The boy, Douglas Spalding, is walking across the lawn. Without seeing it, he walks into a single strand of spider webbing. He hears it as it snaps. Summer begins.

That’s not a quote but an account of a moment in the first chapter of Ray Bradbury’s book “Dandelion Wine”.

The boy, Douglas, is waking up to summer… to his life. Every moment is magical.

Douglas Spalding is a direct ancestor of Wallace. If you haven’t read it, you owe it to yourself to do so. If you have read it, it only gets better with age. The book’s and your own.

Like dandelion wine.

Meagan throws a mean Frisbee. I hope the impact was unintentional.

Yes…heartburn….

And of course Wallace rolls with it..

I’d say Meagan can throw the frisbee pretty well.

In panel five the Frisbee settles perfectly on Spuds head. He looks like he is Devo.

Throwing the frisbee is one thing, but Wallace needs practice catching one… with his hands. Or even a bare foot.

Nerf Frisbees?

Megan’s channeling her inner Xena

I think she hit exactly what she was aiming at. :-)

Hey, I’ve had that happen to me before myself, those frisbees really can pack more punch than you’d think.

Spring Fever suddenly hits Wallace like a miss aimed Frisbee.

Looks to me like Megan has a pretty good Frisbee flinging arm. Or was she aiming at Spud?

She may have just hit the target she was aiming for. Then again, her aim might have been slightly off and she hit the wrong target….

She does!!

Spud’s been trying to tell us that nature (and pretty much everything else) is dangerous.

Wait till a mosquito bites him. He’ll be ecstatic.

Some women learn at an early age that sometimes they have to work to get a guy’s attention.

She wouldn’t have done that if we were allowed to do it to them.

What about a bubblewrapped frisbee?

Looks like throwing isn’t the problem Spud, it’s aiming.

From a quick search: “A Schlemiel is an inept clumsy person and a Schlimazel is a very unlucky person. There’s a Yiddish saying that translates to a funny way of explaining them both. A schlemiel is somebody who often spills his soup and a schlimazel is the person it lands on.”So the “Hasenpfeffer Incorporated” mentioned, adds to the L&S ditty, meaning you have the last ingredient (the soup) to the humorous situation being alluded to.

Ouch!

Wallace was not wrong. But now he’s in pain.

Like a big pizza pie…that’s awareness.

All Megans do that
