Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 14, 2023

Dad: “How about I just call you ‘Tater’. It’s easier to remember, since you’re still a tot.”

Wait … what just happened? How did Wallace come out of trance?

I think the diner folks called Wallace’s dad for an intervention.

Spud’s face in the last panel – he’s been waiting for someone to feed him that line!

Corky? ROFLOL!

Well at least cork floats. Spud will remember this the next he walks off the pier. Might wanna change his name.

I think this is the first Wallace’s dad actually said “Spud”.

This strip is one of the best out there!

and how does wallaces dad STILL get spuds name wrong even though the macleclanns have known him for 4.5 years

Spud doesn’t care if you remember his name. This lets him make that “Spudalicious” remark endlessly.

He definitely has a healthy ego…..

“Spudalicious” does sound like a great name for a potato chip…

I do love this runner that despite being a pretty stable, nice guy… mr m cannot for the life of him remember spuds name. I also like that it’s escalated to the point that even Wallace is tired of it.

Wallace: “Gaah, Dad, for the billionth time …it’s SPUD!”

I’d be more surprised Spud is short for his name in acronym form: something like Sebastian Ptolemy Udall-Davidson.

Well, I suppose that Spud’s head could also resemble a cork.

So, has dad finally learned his lesson? Will he remember Chip’s name next time?

The running gag of Dad forgetting Spud’s name never gets old. Lol!

The end of a cosmic carpe diem

C’mon, Wallace. Coming, Starch?

Spud, it’s about time you wore a name tag. :)

Maybe it’s time for a Spud origin tale. I bet he’s the long-lost son of Mr. Potatohead.
