Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for July 12, 2024

Gotta love Amelia. She knows how to make the best of Summer vacation.

“Nice shootin’, Shane.”

It’s like Blair Witch!

Except, you know, not really.

Ya gotta love that child.

Good aim. You got to be careful you don’t hit a person by mistake… Or maybe she just doesn’t worry about that.

Amelia hitting Wallace with the truth

Wallace just might purposely pop the rest by swinging them to hit himself!

I’m glad she’s a good shot, that balloon was really close to Wallace’s face!

Wow. Amelia comes up with ideas that Calvin would have tried, but executes them better.

I imagine Amelia has this set up mainly for tourists. Wallace turning up was a delightful bonus.

Now Wallace knows why.

Good shot.

Wonder no more.

That was a quick answer!!!!

Ask, and you shall receive.

I love the way Wallace does the Popeye strut down the road with his arms out like that in panel 1.

Ahh, the pleasure and serenity of a job well done and a plan that works!

I expect Spud to walk into an obvious trap but not Wallace and Henry the Seagull.

Advanced mischief. Plan the work, work the plan, analyze the result, make improvements. Consequences vs personal satisfaction = entertainment.

Girl’s gunna be a sniper…

Amelia…the Annie Oakley of the slingshot.

What has the evil mind of Amelia have in store for Spud? Something to do his obsession with cheese?

This needs some Attenborough narration about ambush predators.

Amelia the prankster strikes again!

Kids, don’t try this at home unless you are an excellent shot or your parents have a large personal liability policy.

This isn’t the first time she’s taken aim at balloons with a slingshot.

Brilliant.

Given the inaccuracy of that kind of slingshot, that could have been tragic.

Because you had to use a sling shot, didn’t you

You had to open up your mouth

You had to use a sling shot, didn’t you

All your friends were so knocked out

Go Amelia!! Great idea with the water balloons!

Why did you even ask why?

Wonderful!

Nice shot there…..

LUCKY SHOT!

It’s all fun and games until she hits some kid in the eye with a peach pit! Annie Oakley she ain’t!

He is in his swimsuit so the water balloons should be welcomed relief.

Combine a water balloon attack with a slingshot attack. Classic Amelia.

It’s nice to see Amelia so happy.

What about the summer tourists, Amelia? They’re easier to fool.

She got him good. She got him real good

It so much more effective to catapult small water balloons than try to burst them from a distance.

I love that little girl. Deviant genius.

I wonder why

She’d either get along famously with Calvin, or they’d be rivals, lol

Cannot wait to see him and a certain bird all covered in blue paint.

Making good use of Wallace’s slingshot, I see.

Wallace is the sort who, upon getting splashed, will say, “THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!”

Usually Seagull escapes the results of the shenanigans—not this time.
