Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 05, 2024

Please, we know Sterling wasn’t born but simply is and always has been.

Good thing mom’s not there to slide Sterling into Top Twenty.

Maybe…kinda…if we ever figure out how you just suddenly appeared in the crib.

Nice arial view! :-)

We don’t know when you were born exactly, Sterling. You were dropped off by a pack of wolves one day.

Interesting camera shots! …Reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes…

Perhaps it was the same day. Quite likely really.

Fourth panel legit brought a tear to my eye..

And then I laughed, imagining Sterling’s birth as similar to the famous scene in the original Alien movie!

Panel 4 is fantastic!

Getting seasick after the first two panes.

Does Will do the coloring himself? I’ve always enjoyed the relaxing color tones that are used as well as the washed out backgrounds.

…. And that’s only because at that point, Dad did not yet know what was coming….

Good one.

I’m surprised Sterling made the top 20!

Maybe Wallace’s birth and the realization that “none of that really matters” was the same day.

Thought he mite say “a good catch”!!!!!!

Two kinds of happiness. One is event-related, the other is self-realization-related.

“Who are you again?”

Maybe top 20……

Sterling will be in the Top Ten most Wanted someday!

“wicked rich”? that’s a RI thing

Dad is honest! (SCRUF !)

Have the boys ever been drawn wearing life jackets, especially in that dinky little boat?

This remains one of my favorite syndicated comics.

That boat cost more than that house, purchase and operating expenses.

Always start that line with “One of….” And then theres this by Hubb McCann: “Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this, that love…true love…never dies. You remember that, boy. Doesn’t matter if they’re true or not because those are the things worth believing in.”

Today is Revenge of the fifth!

Some people claim Sterling was kicked out of a very hot afterlife.

Far more charitable than I expected

Today’s color palette is suitable for a Tide detergent ad.

But the strange accumulation of black clouds just above the hospital, the lightning and the red sky that day were memorable.

Wow, how great Will Henry is to us! Not only to give us the tremendous Wallace the Brave, but to interact with us as he did on May 2, and I just read that he will honor us with an hour meet-and-greet at the Narragansett library on May 15!
