Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 30, 2023

One time I was six days old altogether.

When the DemonSpawn is complaining about the BO, that’s a sign.

Panel two reminded me of Mulder!!

Stir-crazy Wallace?

Sterling.. actually made a coherent point. and was sweet about it. A true sign the apocalypse is nigh.

Mom: “Why am I the only sane one in this family?”

And us. Pheeuuu, we can smell you out here!

You know it’s bad when you get comments on your hygiene from Sterling.

#free Wallace!

A shower would wash the bio-organic matter on Wallace

At first I thought it was drool in panel 1… at least he’s not using thumbtacks!

Wallace is getting odorous and spacey from being cooped up for 5 days. Even Sterling is in agreement with Mom.

A very cold shower. To snap back to reality. At least until lunch.

Did anyone stop to think that maybe, …he’s right?

Cabin fever is setting in for Wallace.

For once Sterling has good advice that doesn’t involve fire or explosives.

Free Wallace!

Love the look in panel 3 where he suddenly forgets Bigfoot and is hopefully optimistic about a possible reprieve. On a totally different note, does anyone know why there isn’t a comments section for “9 Chickweed Lane”? Not that I would ever comment or anything of course. I’m just sayin’…

It’s surprising for Sterling to be so…coherent in this one!

Is panel 2 a reference to that meme template about the guy trying to explain an insane theory?

About a week ago, I said that I hoped Wallace wouldn’t be grounded for the summer and someone replied to me, “Get real. We all know Wallace wouldn’t really stay in his room.” He’s not staying in his room but he’s certainly staying home against his will. How long will this story arc last for?

A normal remark from Sterling? What is the world coming to?

He must need a serious bath if Sterling agrees with Mom.

Sterling is only agreeing so that he can toss in a hair dryer – which will be plugged in!

The odor must be really bad, seagull is no where in sight. :-)

Wallace is trying for a section 8

See, this is what happens when you try to contain Wallace against his volition, mother dear.

Looks like someone it trying to restore Stirling’s character?

Even Sterling seems o be disgusted!?!?

Isn’t this boy a bit young to have watched police procedurals (with the pix & notes on the wall, and lines/threads connecting them)?

So now we know how FBI’s Fox Mulder became obsessed with UFOs: his mom grounded him for months!
