Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for November 03, 2022

Is it terrible that I am not only concerned for Wallace’s safety but also for the roof? Really?! roller skates can’t be good for the life of the roof. ER visit will still cost more than the roof replacement.

Even Calvin once tried daredevilly going off the house’s roof with a make-shift bungee cord and his mother caught him before he attempting the stunt.

Moms, the enemy of all cool stuff and fun.

Gotta trust your Mom, son..

Child, you ain’t got no wings! Listen to your mother.

I can just picture his 3 cohorts on the ground, waiting for him to jump. Rose is calculating the impact velocity, Spud is saying, “heavens, no.” Amelia is shouting, “Go, go, go.”

Seagulls make the best role models. Wallace, make like a gull and throw up fish on everything.

To infinity and beyond!!!

And stunts like that was why I developed a fear of heights.

Mom, being a bit of an adrenaline junkie herself. will entertain trying this when you’re in school tomorrow. With witnesses. Their phones pre dialed to 911 and fingers hovering over the Send button.

Being picky here, but – how does he keep from rolling when he’s standing up with the wheels on the roof slope?

When I reflect on all the stupid and fool-hardy things I did as a child – it is only by God’s grace that I’m still alive today. Now, when someone tells me I’m not as daring or adventurous as I used to be, I reply: “Wrong. I’m just smarter now.”

Just grab an old bedsheet, Wallace.

He reminds me of the Guy Clark song “The Cape”.

You’ll get your wings after.

After the landing.

Funsucker…

Wallace definitely loves to fly.

Don’t forget his house is on stilts. This is basically a three story fall, survivable, maybe, but hospital bound for sure.

Kid, if you live though it, you’ll regret it forty years from now.

what’s the big deal?

he’s wearing a helmet…

And the voice of common sense and reason!

You don’t have wings or the ability to use them kid.

Wonder what his grave stone will say – Wiley Non Sequitur style grave stone that is.
