Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for August 29, 2023

Send Seagull for help with a note.

Well, he could catch a few hundred lobsters, put harnesses on each one, and ask them to tow his boat back to the pier …

Love the big POOF.

Engine bit the dust, kicked the bucket. is kaput, croaked, flat lined, gave up the ghost,passed the point of no return, went to Davy Jones locker, conked out, bought the farm, seized up.

It’s the continuation of a bad year. Anything involving smoke always costs big money to put the smoke back in.

Or you getting shipwrecked on some little island off Nova Scotia.

Does he have a sail?

Does he have oars?

Looks like some nasty boat farts..!

Nope, a bad week…

Uh oh, sounds like his motor has bit the salt. (As opposed to dust.)

Dad talking to Seagull in the last panel (chuckle).

Launch the life boat, Mr. Gull!

(Too soon?)

You DO have oars for backup, right?

Right?

He’ll be fine if it doesn’t catch fire.,

Is that a snail on his hat?

Maybe Dad has some mechanical skills along with his lobster-catching ones?

Time to radio for a tow.

Just sit right back and we’ll tell you a tale,…

I always love the “hat jumping off the head in surprise” trope!

Next “ The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed”

Definitely not the start of a good one….

And it started out so well in yesterday’s strip.

It kind of looks like it’s exactly that: the start of a bad day.

This was infact the start to a bad day

I have been reading Non Sequitur for too long. I was expecting Capitan Eddie to sail by.

Why would you think that; just because the Jaws theme song is playing in the background?

I’m sure all will be fine. After all there aren’t two converging strong storm fronts out there are there? Are There?!? OK, maybe someone should get mom’s surfboard out sooner rather than later.

I wonder if some mermaid will help him.

I mean, it’s not ‘stuck in the path of a lighthouse shadow’ bad day but it’s the start of an interesting thread for the week. Plus, poop deck goes “P00F”! LOL

Is it just me, or do those lifebuoys look like Pokemon Pokeballs?

My first thought: Too Late!! It’s bad day when anything needs repair.

Thats a sign all right….a bad one

I wonder how much a tow costs.

Time to call the coast guard.

Some days I should have just stood in bed

Tow + repairs + the days wages= expensive / bad day

This does Not look good.

Much better than the MIDDLE of a bad day when he’s miles out to sea and that POOF happens.

It’s a very final and definitive POOF.

No, dad, you’ve had bad days before. This one is going to get worse… :D

uh oh
