Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 30, 2024

I like the way Seagull walks away between Mom’s feet, also leaving Sterling to it.

Antisocial tendencies can be put to good use.

Contributing to the delinquency of a minor?

Radishes! I was hoping Mrs. Mcclellan would go all Old Testament on the boorish lout … but Sterling works fine, too.

Showing something in 3…2…1…

Will Henry is gifted, never quit brother

Even Seagull joins Mom and Sterling in giving the jerk the evil eye.

Sterling’s already there—you might as well weaponize him.

Alas, a waste of good nachos. Ah, but not totally. As for the heckler, thats a good way to get escorted out of a ball park.

Seagull says, “I’m going, too!”

I figured it was only a matter of time before they figured out that Sterling could be useful.

A sterling solution

Mom knows the rules of the game. Plausible deniability. And who’s going to challenge Sterling over his bad behavior?

Release the kraken!

It’s your time to shine Sterling!!

A mother that knows her child.

Technically he asked for it – a MacLellan is about to “show him something”..!

Mom knows, with great power comes great responsibility.

Well Mister, A MacClellan is about to show you something.

It was a “set up”!

Plausible deniability. Seems to be going around again this century.

Jerk about to feel some chin music with extra cheese, as Dennis Eckersley would say.

Wallace will bean him right in the head with a perfect shot. He’s going to be a pitcher when he’s old enough for little league. Remember the eggs from the roof? Perfect shots every time. He’ll be the Randy Johnson of Snug Harbor. That crazed look in his eyes as he strikes you out!

I’m nacho the nacho is nachos for throwing

(I’m not sure the nacho is not yours for throwing)

Sterling is allowed to do this misbehavior. Go for it Sterling!

Sterling understood the assignment.

The mom knew exactly what she was doing here.

And that guy was never seen again.

Leaving him unattended with nachos? Why, it’s like she wanted him to do something untoward!

Seagull wants to look at dandelions too!

Aw, Sterling does care about his dad. : D

Good move, Mom! She knows and understands her child.

Be a master of every tool in your tool box

I love this!

Sterling understood the assignment.

Perfect!

Being a volunteer coach is a thankless job. If Mr. Loudmouth knows so much about baseball maybe he can coach next season.

LOL she knows her boy!

I can honestly say I do not often literally laugh out loud at comics. But this time I guffawed. Too. Freaking. Funny.

mother: “Spear of Justice”

Sterling: “Battle against a True Hero”

I never noticed that Wallace is a lefty.

Then Seagull will swoop in to finish the job

Any weapon in the arsenal is fair game.

plausible deniability

Ah, reverse psychology, haha.

Mom knows when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em and when to just walk away!

Take antisocial tendencies, add a big dose of loyalty, a lack of boundaries then mix in a big bushel of insults at dad and you have, “Well that’s gonna leave a mark!”

He is a good coach. He taught his family to play to their strengths

Lovely dandelions.

Atta boy, Sterling!

Nice technique!

Sterling has his uses.

I hadn’t known Seagull and Mom were that in step with each other.

Sterling’s a southpaw! Sign him up!

I. LOVE. THIS!

Excellent use of available resources! with plausible deniability! well done.

“…fool…”

Wow, so much detail and variation in color, texture, and perspective—Panel 1 alone is packed with informative and evocative elements—the space sectioned into different distances, then zoomed in for the remainder of the panels.

I mean he did technically show him something

His son WILL show you something, a face full of cheese of something
