Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 15, 2023

“Good” correlates to speed to the Principal’s office. I could hear the sonic boom from Japan.

If it’s new how does the principal know it’s bad?

I love a good grawlix!

It’s incandescent!

This reminds me of an episode off The Simpsons where the principal wanted Bart to do something, and Bart asked what he’d give him, and the principal said he’d teach him a new curse word, and Bart agreed so the principal whispered it in his ear and then used it in a sentence when Bart asked him to.

Might have been new to Amelia, but looks like everyone else had heard it before in order to react to it!

New to her but I suspect the principal has heard it before.

I remember learning some on the playground.

Best go back to using “RADISHES”, Amelia!

those were the days of sweet innocence

Dad must have been working under the sink last night!

hm

Rogntudju!!!

Reminds me of Carlin’s bit on ‘shoot’…. Just hear that, Johnny, don’t say it…

From the expressions in the 3rd panel, it must be a good one.

Lol like the way Will singed his name in the last panel

If that’s the only way that you can get attention, that is so very sad. I wonder how you learned that phrase. Actually swearing is a real sign of ignorance. You are better than that….

I battled profanity in the classroom for many years as a teacher. What they hear in songs, tv, and movies convinces them that it is just a normal part of language. Often times, they were unaware that they had even used an expletive.

WIll Henry kept the panels relatively simple today – perhaps yesterday’s fatigued him? LOL I love his drawings.

I bet the word was Mee Krob

She should thank whoever it was who sent her to a place where there is someone appropriate to use it on.

Awww. It’s nice to see how happy Amelia is to share her new knowledge with her friends. Of course, her teacher and classmates now are traumatised. But still nice to see.

Signed “#*@/# Henry” ?! AWESOME!

Amelia has been around the Marines again……

Sadly, this is me at the tender age of 5…They called my grandparents to the Sister’s office ( Episcopal Church school) to find out why I was saying “Name of Christ!” when ever I was frustrated. Turns out, my Grandfather’s brother-in-law had been visiting recently and he often used that phrase. Expletives are said in such a dramatic fashion that it must really stick in a child’s mind- this new use of language!!

yes it was. Overall Rating: 10/10

How is it they live in a harbor town and the whole town doesn’t “curse like a sailor”?

Wow, even Ms. Macintosh was impressed.

That’s swear word number eleven, everybody knows that!
