Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 18, 2023

Mr. McLellan being Jeff Gordon? I would’ve thought Dale Earnhardt, Sr. (because of the mustache).

Ok. Where are the kids seatbelts?

But can he do the Kessel run in 12 parsecs? (Yes I know a parsec is a measure of distance. Just go with the joke please.)

The thing I like about driving in the snow is that I don’t have to do it.

One night back in the 80’s, I was driving through a blizzard in Utah. I passed through a small town off the freeway, looking for a gas station. It was 9 at night, and the entire place, all 8 blocks of it, was pitch-black. No house or apartment lights, no street lights, no people outside, nothing. I physically heard the Twilight Zone music as I passed back out and returned to the freeway, still in need of gas for the car and still in the middle of the blizzard…

I wonder if the nice central panel is what Han … I mean Will Henry drew first

wooosh…

Fantastic center panel. Will nailed it.

He is SO right!

Now, go find a big empty parking lot, and do donuts!

I wonder how Seagull is doing in the bed of the pickup.

one of those enjoy the moment moment

From experience, the Speed Limit is not a safe speed during blizzard conditions.

First Star Wars movie nostalgic flashes. Which of the three is Chewbacca? Because Wallace is Han Solo.

Got a death wish, Spud? It’s snowing!

Loved that in Minnesota too

Sensible in the snow to drive even less than the speed limit.

Might want to put it into sub warp speeds during a white out snow storms regardless of the posted city limits….

“I’m goin’ the speed limit.” …

YEAH !! … The HYPER SPEED Limit !! … :)

I wouldn’t call it a blizzard from looking at panels 1 and 3.

I’ve always had to concentrate on not getting motion sick while driving in the snow at night.

Growing up in North Dakota – I remember being mesmerized by this view. From the back with no seat belts, I would squeeze between the two front seats to get as much of the view of the windshield as possible – while my dad drove through the snow.

Who the hyper drive is “Jeff Gordon”? Nothing like needing to search the web to understand a comic strip…

Drive the speed limit in a New England winter at your own peril!

Spud is a grumpy old man.

Love that Spud.

wow, I’ve been in those situations. It really does feel like you’re going at warp speed.

Dad’s eyes in the rear-view mirror. Nice detail.

No wonder he hasn’t bothered to learn Spud’s name. Jeff Gordon – LOL

spud. wallaces dad is a nascar racer. also, will, great illustrations

Loved that effect when I lived in Maine :-)

I’m 70 and I still do the same thing as Wallace. Great minds think alike.

what great visuals!!!

Oh, man! I had a night like this with my Dad once. Driving somewhere in the dark after supper, with the snow flakes flying to either side of the windshield. Me pretending they were stars and planets in outer space. Thanks, Will, for this.

Below window level.

I’m with ya, Wallace. And it was like that even before Star Wars debuted.

I’ve made this comparison myself before. It looks amazing!
