Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 04, 2024

I get the sense he’s supposed to be in right field now.

Spud Moment.

We all have that first love……

Burrito-baby fried mozzarella, baby!

Del’s Lemonade

Seagull peeking out next to the Snack Shack sign.

Give him a moment, for pity’s sake!

You can hear the sting of heavenly harps.

(Softly) Waaaaah!

Spud is paying homage to his holy shrine.

Get some food…….make it better!

The only reason Spud comes to the ballpark.

Food must be good…..

Yes, but one does choose to put up for quite a lot when it’s no doubt your BEST customer that’s doing this. ;)

To worship at the counter of molten cheese-like product on deep fried triangular shaped crunchy things. ’That’ll be fifteen bucks, kid.’

Snacks, sweet snacks,

With Spud being such a foodie, you’d think he’d be larger. It’s a good thing Wallace keeps him on the move

Baseball is the one sport I can tolerate, slow, just the way I like it.

I’m a Calvinball fan.

He’s a kid. Let him have a moment

I will point out that Spud, as a true New Englander, is using “0” on his jersey – in honor of Jayson Tatum……nuff said

That must be a new boy at the stand ’cuz Spud is a regular customer!

“Young love! True love!”

Will seems to have a knack for drawing perfectly evocative everday, homey buildings. This snack shack instantly took me back to shacks of my past, the cement slab at the bottom, the slightly beat-up looking vent, the worn siding…I get the same feeling when he draws Wallace’s dad’s toolshed, or the beachside cabanas. So real-feeling. Nobody else is drawing comics like this right now.
