Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for August 27, 2019

Why? A little farther down and you’ll hit the water table, and the ocean will be that more closer to the house.

Surprised Spud hasn’t hit sand about six inches down.

That is a good friend, Wallace wants a pool and Spud is willing to dig it.

I always wondered why ocean-front hotels have pools..

And see, this is why we keep parents around, Wallace. Every now and then, they do speak logic.

Space won’t go wasted. Spud can use it as a security hole.

Generally speaking, pools are kraken-free.

Very Calvin and Hobbes-esque.https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/01/21

The ocean has… things in it.

Sterling wouldn’t bother asking his mother, and he’d just keep digging and digging and digging.

Pools are for rich people who can afford upkeep.

Look. There are things in the ocean that you do NOT want to swim with.

Don’t need a pool. Need a swimming hole.
