Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 05, 2023

So is Seagull.

Spud gets up like an old man…

Guess the pepper is “ghosting” them..!

Happy cartoonists day, Will Henry!

Seagull beat you to it, Spud.

90 days from the time you put it in the ground as a plant. That is if conditions are right. Even then they may not have the heat you want.

Wallace thought it would grow immediately after planting the seeds and it would just pop up peppers and all.

Wallace, Wallace, Wallace, have you ever seen a plant instantly appear in your Mom’s garden after she planted seeds?

Just in time to harvest and take to school for show and tell.

Ah, the anticipation.

try eating one of the seeds plain Wallace!

Your mother gardens, Wallace—have you really never noticed how long it takes for her plants to grow before now?

the expressions here are adorable. I also do love that while the peppers terrify spud, he’s still there with wallace for the journey.. until that journey ends up being 90 days but hey, that’s fair.

I take it that Wallace hasn’t done this many times in the past…..

Seagull butt!!

Are these the hot pepper seeds? If so, how come Spud looks happy?

The seagull on panel 4 said “peace suckers” lol…..10/10 love this arc

I feel your pain, Wallace, even though I would never eat one of those peppers. The Old Sarge is already dreaming about his tomatoes, two months or so from now.

Happy National Cartoonist Day, Will!

That’s still faster than the state of Illinois pays it bills…

Two words, Wallace: “Delayed gratification.”

Ahh, you were thinkin’ of those beanstalk seeds…

Will we hear about this again in 90 days, on August 3rd?
