Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 06, 2021

Wallace’s Mom moves from crackling flame eyes angry about the slingshot in principle to considering better payloads!

What, slingshots are bad now? I have a slingshot.

Get a spud cannon.

YO SPUD CATCH THIS BABY CARROT

Everybody gangsta until the mom says Wallace’s full name

I don’t remember ever having my full name used by Mom. Geez I must have been a good kid…or my memory is nawt good.

Mother Nature.. If he were using it on birds, there’s be fewer seagulls hanging around!

Dakota could use that over on Ordinary Bill today…

So … Mom is a fiery redhead after all. I am … intrigued.

If she knows her son at all (as we all do) I can’t imagine that she thought he’d be using it for ill purpose!

I’m surprised that Spud isn’t knocked over by the force of the flying tootsie roll.

I thought they sat together. Maybe the teacher separated them on purpose; this is what you get.

yea dont do it Wallace,Spud might choke (O_O)

Brussel sprouts would work too.

A slingshot is for hitting crows and other nasty birds.

I don’t think Spud would like that idea.

I guess Wallace will never get a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas anytime soon…..

I remember I had a slingshot once as I kid, but I never could figure out how to get it to work right. Looking back, I think I just didn’t have the arm strength at the time to pull it back enough and not enough patience to fix that problem.

Does Wallace have a middle name? You are never really in trouble until your Mother uses your first, middle and last name.

Well, duh! Don’t all kids use slingshots to send vegetables to friends?

As laid back and mellow as Mom usually is, this was a big deal.

Mom’s expecting the end scenario to be “Wallace, it’s not so much that you broke a window with that slingshot, it’s that we’re all wondering how you managed to break that window.”

That was still only two names.

When mom used all three, that was it.

Tootsie rolls would really hurt if sent via sling shot! Also, love those smokin’ fire eyes!!

hunting small game with a sling shot can be very effective.

“Nice shootin’, Shane.”

Pigeon There, Pigeon Gone

SERIOUSLY IT"S LIKE A SPY

No Red Ryder BB Gun for him any time in the near future…….

I’ve seen fire in my mom’s eyes like that only once

The speaking bubbles on panels 1 & 2 convey a powerful motherly redhead fury.

“is that a slingshot in your backpack”… “Yes mom” confidence defined right there
