Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for July 13, 2024

There is no “best” way. There’s only “more boring.”

The bottle has a wobbly pain star. Seagull is checking it out.

A way to avoid the cold fingers.

Costly way.

Coming soon to an Olympics near you.

Wait till Mom hears about this! I’m sure she’ll be very happy you just wasted the whole bottle, Wallace!

Spud, performing physical exertion..?

LOVE the surprise ending!!

Probably uses same technique on anything that needs squeezing. Mom and dad always thinking I could have sworn we just bought the item.

He’s going to end up with a very exotic tan.

Timing, trajectory and team coordination. Superb planning.

SPLRP – a new entry in the list of neat sound effects.

How you get it on is just step 01. Step 02 is how you spread it around. Summon the trained, genetically modified ant-applicators!

I’m surprised half off it didn’t end up on the sidewalk, given it was resting against it. That’s usually how this works in my experience of running over things.

I can imagine Wallace, on the ground, sighting alongside the tube, having Spud stand EXACTLY where he intends on standing.

“Ok Spud, hit the tube HERE at precisely 88 miles per hour! We’re gonna see some SPLRP!”

SPLRP! Don Martin would approve.

Wallace is now a walking Cinnabon advertisement.

Looks like you got it right in the eye Wallace!!

Initially, I couldn’t tell what it was in the second panel. Going back I can see the cap is flipped up but the face of the tube is toward us- I guess so we can tell it’s the hole for the sunscreen.

Now get another tube and do his other side.

If there’s a better way to apply sunscreen I don’t want to know.

I decided to use an umbrella as often as possible.

I think SMERSH would be a good sound effect here, but it is also the Soviet counterspy agency in the old James Bond novels, and we don’t want any hassles with lawyers or Russian agents…

Perfect!!!!!

Spud. This is the EPIC way!

I’m surprised Spud is that coordinated.

Also a good way to get sunscreen in your eyes, silly boy

Hmmmm, I’ve always pictured Spud riding with training wheels.
