Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for July 31, 2024

Star struck

“Wallace, am I about to meet a REAL professor?”

Rose should be glad that she isn’t meeting Professor Moriarty. He was a real professor but a very dangerous one.

I have, despite lacking a completed formal education, been friends with a number of “professors.” I did discover that they are experts (quite proficient) in their fields, but are, on occasion, woefully ignorant of many other aspects of life … minds in the clouds. I believe this made them quite interesting.

Seagull is in every panel today…

In Rose’s eyes, the professor is a rock star!

Also, “be cool” snerk!

This is so cute. This is the best day of her little life.

My mom was a professor. I’m honestly a little surprised, given what I know about Rose, that her mom isn’t a professor too. I wonder what her parents do?

Something behind the professor’s doorway is saying,“Will Henry”.

Breath Rose, breath!

Don’t panic!!!!!!

Rose: “I’ll never shower again… woooow.”

I never got that kind of reception . .

The first thing Rose wants to know from the Professor is how to make a radio out of coconuts.

I will take that as a “No”……

Rose just didn’t get ‘be cool’ !

I love Rose face fanning with her fluttering hands!

And it’s STILL SUMMER !!

I was the same way when I met my first stripper.

The older professors I knew had very robust senses of humor with a bent towards practical jokes that would probably get them locked up nowadays. One time, after the upper management made a very unpopular decision, I wrote a very sarcastic fake memo from the management for my own amusement, but made the mistake of showing it to one of the old professors. He said “That’s very very good…may I borrow it for a minute?” Uh oh. The next day, everyone had copies of it in their mailboxes (paper mail) and the management was not amused. The prof just told me “keep your mouth shut and you’ll be fine” so I did, and I lived to tell about it.

The young professors these days just aren’t that entertaining…

Go Rose, live the dream! This is so adorable and the Professor seems so kind.

Is this the first we heard Wallaces last name?

I taught college for 40 years. I never got this sort of reaction. :)
