Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 14, 2023

So many things thinking of so many things. Poor mouse is worried about the owl on the shelf.

I can juggle three hammers, but not like that. Well, I can do clubs like that, but it’s been a while and clubs aren’t made out of iron and are better balanced.

Poor Spud……….

Note to self: Never leave Spud in front of the spray paints.

Another brilliant painting! And I can’t help thinking Mom is gonna turn around and say,“I take my eyes off y’all for a nanosecond and look what happens.”

♪♫ 57 channels and nothin’ comes to mind… ♪♫

Well, thank you, different but a good one as usual, Will Henry.

At first glance, I thought, whoa! Too much too much too much too much!

This morning, I kept going back to Calvin & re-reading it (comics gold) & when I got down to Wallace …well, I thought I might burst with happiness! Another grin producing, sensory overload comic from another master of the art! Pour a fresh tea, zoom in & enjoy.

Happy Mothers Day to all! May all your off spring be like Wallace at heart.

This one is just brilliant this morning! Thank you, Will, for a wonderful Mother’s Day gift.

I can look at this for hours. Thanks, Will.

It appears that the fisherman is floundering for attention..

Why isn’t Sterling thinking about flamethrowers?

Spud’s thought bubble made me laugh. How appropriate.

Someone please tell Dad it’s an 8mm he needs.

Sterling is up to no good, as usual. But it sure is pretty.

Keep looking, There’s more to see!!!

Thank God the spray paint cans are out of Sterling’s reach.

I guess it’s still flounder season in New England.

Will Henry clearly loves to draw. I can think of no other cartoonist with this kind of detail

I always love these one-panel extravaganzas, these phantasmagorias, these beautiful offerings from the abundant heart and mind of Mr. Will Henry. [The comments indicate that more and more of the readers of this strip are feeling the same way, which makes me happy.] Very like the recent movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once”. Or like a three-ring circus pulling your attention in every direction.

Love this! So much detail! Even the succulents in the lower left corner have wants!

Wonderful strip today. I worry that Sterling is the only living being there without a thought. Even Spud zoning out has a test pattern.

Hardware stores: The place that dreams are made of and if you find the right isle, dreams come true.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Well done.

It’s a very thought full comic

Brilliant! I may frame this one. Thanks for a great start to my day, Will.

So much unrequited love.

I love the stuff that Sterling is always getting in to. And why is Spud always with Wallace’s family?

I love this cartoon. Every day. But this one is special! Thanks, Will Henry, for working so hard to produce an outstanding comic strip!

Walsh & Packard’s hardware store. Loved that place when I was a kid

I would like to point out the bell over the door. I love that sound: “Ta-da!! I’m here, your customer!!” although perhaps to the person behind the counter at five minutes before closing it’s not so pleasant a sound.

Never mind all that! Where’s the hardware cloth? And no, I don’t need a hundred feet!

What a great comic. Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there!

We don’t need a bubble for Sterling—his thoughts currently are straightforward enough.

I like how there’s an age limit for buying spraypaint. I suspect that was specifically for kids like Wallace (or Amelia) in mind. :P

@willhenry This is amazing. Thank you.

Almost everything is thinking. Even the plants are thinking. But notice that Sterling doesn’t think; he just acts. Paint samples everywhere.

Worthy of being a Mad Magazine layout.

I am totally Spud in this frame.

A tribute to the father considerate enough to get the ‘gang’ out while mom relaxes on this extra special day – at least for a little while. HUGS!

WOW..just WOW!!!

Great artwork.

Oh, I love this!!

Sad when are desires do not match up with reality. Great art……

I feel kinda sad for the boy in love of the girl that only loves her dog. No one can win against a dog. Let’s hope mom will win that Bigger Pumpkin 1st place.

OMG I have been in dad’s predicament so many times…

Wow, totally amazing little sketch.

Magnificent tableau…

This is pretty brilliant. Even the plants have thoughts!

…must be 18 to buy Spray Paint! (I do love to see the rolling galleries go by on the RR Tracks!)

Analog living.

Fan-frigging-tastic! Love the art, love the thoughtfulness, love the humor. Dude, you Rock!

Every small-town hardware store. Love it.

The detail is absolutely brilliant! It looks stunning!

wallace’s brother is too busy causing mayhem to think about anything

I liked to collect paint cards as a kid. Valspar was my favorite for names but they don’t carry it at the hardware store here anymore.

Theres a lot going on here. I love it!

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Awesome artwork. Love it!

Wow, just wow. So much good here. From all of us who love a real Hardware Store, and appreciate all the emotions and drama going on, Thank You!

Richard Scarry would be proud.

Unfortunately, with all that’s going on the hammer problem never got solved. Store owner Clyde knows what hammers are for and throwing them in the air isn’t one of them!

Listen, everyone! You can hear the wooden floors creak.

Yes, they are, we need more of them.

Can anyone read the name of the store on the guy’s apron?

Notice that Sterling is the only one without a though balloon. Even the plats have them. Maybe it’s to indicate that sometimes Sterling doesn’t think, he just acts – and he is certainly going to town with those paint samples.

So many details! Will Henry, you are a comics genius!

A good hardware will stock Milwaukee tools and not Dewalt.

Somebody’s being swept off his feet.

I was so diverted by everything going on, especially the plants having thought bubbles but not Sterling. Finally saw the Owl that the mouse is worried about.

I found Wallace, easy; but where’s Waldo?

“Please Stand By” hahaha that’s perfect!

That is an incredibly beautiful drawing. It evokes the essence of a New England hardware store. And it’s hilarious!

“Please stand by” on Spud, hahaha.

Spud literally went * no thoughts head empty *

This comic is so small, yet says so much.

What about the enormous gourd?
