Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for March 27, 2021

All except Spud however. He obviously thinks the tide will come in instead of out. Plus being stuck out there, his claustrophobia is raging.

Now explain the M2 component of tides, Rose!

Chaucer was right, time and tide wait for no one. But when you’re stuck on a rock, you may be waiting some time for the tide.

Rose IS enjoying her time with everyone. Explaining the vagaries of English is fun! Did you know that hundred used to refer to 6*20 as the value 120? And that “thousand” used to be “many hundreds, or a large number?” And that “million” was effectively “the value closer to one thousand, or a VERY large number?” “Dozen” was formed from “duo” (2) and “decem” (10), so that “dozen” meant “twelve things” and that a “baker’s dozen” proved that bakers can’t count.

Maybe Rose grows up to be a letter carrier. And everybody knows her name.

“Quality time?” … thinks Spud.

were are they

I think we all know somebody like Rose, in that we can recognise that expression in panel 3 from a mile off (and thus, have a mile to get clear of them).

And seagull is all like, I’m outta here any time..!

When stuck on the sandbar wait for the tide to refloat your boat…when stuck in the Suez Canal, where there are no tides and your ship is 1200 feet long hope your insurance carrier can pay the bills for the 150 ships stuck behind you with time sensitive cargo on board.

Another misadventure by Snug Harbor’s Little Rascals.

How did they not notice the tide coming IN? Not like their temporary safe haven is too big to not see.

Glad to see Will Henry properly spelled “per se”, and not as “per say” as I’ve seen it mistakenly done.

There is a big rock at Fogerty Beach in Oregon that the CG has to go out to and rescue people from a couple of times a year.

Get a Tide Table people!

The cute little castaways

Good attitude Wallace…..

Spud’s right. That gull looks vicious.

Amelia seems upset… Spud is afraid… This can’t end well!

Death is always lingering nearby. Per Spud.

I didn’t realize that was Rose at first – I thought it was their classroom teacher.

These kids have all the fun

Correct, you pedantic nitpicking twit!

It’s just a bit of trivia to tide them over…

Oh yeah, Ms. Smarty pants? Then what about the moon?

LOVE the bug-eyes of the seagull in the 3rd panel. :D
