Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 04, 2021

Part of being aware is knowing when to pay attention.

No low self-esteem issues here! Fly your freak flag, Wallace.

The first panel is me and the bois vibing to the animaniacs song

I agree. Note taking it is. I got B sharp! How about everyone else?

On With The Dance! Let Joy Be Unconfined!

This is one of those proclamations that is often repeated, sometimes differently attributed. But I’m pretty sure that this is the original (with one spelt word modernized) from Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage by Lord Byron.

Mark Twain, born just a decade after Byron’s death, tinkered it into this :

On with the dance, let joy be unconfined, is my motto; whether there’s any dance to dance or any joy to unconfine.

That has its charm, but I think Wallace, at least here, now, seems to embody the Byron.

Bless this child of the mind… and the mind that fathers him forth

And Spud wants to be invisible at the moment.

They should be joining in!

I’m taking notes but I don’t think I’ll be as graceful. Wallace is unique.

Looks like the seagull is taking mental notes and will soon be joining Wallace.

I’m sure they’re all capturing you on video… to be posted ASAP!

Whats Wallace doing?

What did Wallace and Spud get for Christmas?

That’s what I would call healthy self-esteem……

Eh, let them watch.

The Ministry of Silly Walks approves. As does Mr. Cleese.

Boy I wish I could start my life over again, starting from whatever Wallace’s age is (any guesses?). But I still couldn’t be nearly as cool as he is. But no hidden stuff today?

Me on January 20…

I know I’m taking notes!

At the time of this posting – at least 100!

Well done, Wallace, and well said!

To each their own I say – if you don’t care if others see you, be you. If you would rather not be a spectacle – be Spud.

I expect that the townsfolk know what to expect of Wallace, and enjoy seeing what he comes up with each day.

Also a good way to keep yourself warm in the winter.

Hey, Spud. Now’s the time to get funky. Don’t matter if you’re skinny or chunky. Get in the groove and shake your bacon. Check out your bud and the moves he’s makin’. Jackknife, Windmill, Cosmic Spin. Take the gamble. Go all-in.

reminds me of a Calvin and hobbes strip
