Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for April 09, 2023

He ate the cricket

Of course, he ate the cricket.

well, a chapulín is a Mexican delicacy… so of course Sterling would get some protein

also, the grocery store at which I’m employed once had chips made from cricket flour; still delicious

Feral child, Sterling, thrives on insects and other whatnots.

Love how it was Mom’s first thought…she knows that ( whatever it is). Probably not where it came from tho.

Jiminy Christmas, Sterling ate the cricket!

At least the cricket had a nice bed for his last night on earth….

On second thought -that bug eatin little weirdo needs a bit of A-melia-tion for a change. Maybe I just need some sleep….

And proud of it.

…and it was delicious

Alas, Pinocchio is without his conscience now. Farewell, Jimminy.

I’m surprised Sterling didn’t eat the bottle cap too.

Sterling: “Seconds!”

Looks like he tamped the cotton down with the eraser!

And that’s probably the best drawn anthropomorphic cricket I’ve ever seen..

Momma’s little bug eater.

I enjoy the sound of crickets too and wasn’t surprised that Sterling ate it. Poor little cricket. Is nothing safe when Sterling’s around? Strange child.

Sterling knows presentation is a large part of a well prepared meal. Bottle cap cricket? Why, thank you!

People are eating crickets everywhere. A certain burger joint puts cricket powder in their shakes. I stopped going there.

On Easter, most kids get some kind of holiday confection. But not in this house…crickets?

Yeah, I saw that coming from the very first panel. But nice of Mom to wait until after Wallace was out of hearing range before asking about it.

These crickets are making me thirsty

One of my nieces ate bugs when she was little. She could tell you which ones were juicy and which ones dry. :p

They have the only bug free home in town.

one could say that sterling helped get rid of the pests in the house but i still can’t find my cricket and asked sterling and he said he didn’t eat it

That’s not only gross, kid; but that’s disgusting.

He will definitely never starve…..

You have to be careful, our vet told us not to let our cats eat crickets because they can pass on parasites. Grasshoppers are fine though.

Bugs are not food. Bugs are food contaminants.

What a cool Mom… she surfs, she loves comic books and both her children. Love this strip! Really wish Will would bring Ordinary Bill back for an encore though

Crickets are land shrimp.

Mom knows two languages/protocols: how to talk to each faction.

What other critters might Sterling have had breakfast with?

And now for something completely different….
