Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 30, 2023

I see Will Henry’s essay but I can’t see what grade he got.

Seagull is walking with another character. Have we seen her before?

Rose and the Grinch! A match-up for the ages! The Whatiz sleeping snugly in their little Whatizville beds, dreams of pathetic Hallmark cards filling their Whatizville heads.

I would like to see the musical version of this

Is this going to be a two weeks storyline, then? Seems too early for an standalone Valentine*s Day gag

Ah, thinks Mr. Cupid will have to have something to say about this!!!

Amelia’s a poet! She could write for Hallmark..

I wonder if Rose’s dad is Spiderman.

Amelia is gonna steal Spud’s heart?

Amelia has been waaaay too quiet lately. Here we go!

Like Walmart holiday sales, Valentine’s is coming earlier every year.

I hope Amelia doesn’t become friends with Sterling. That combo would be alarming.

You might not want to derail it until after you’ve taken possession of the chocolate.

That girl is going to be a load of fun when she is older…

Dr. Seuss she is not.

Watch out, Rose!

Stay on your toes

’Cause all those hearts

Will be pierced by darts.

Oh Amelia!

We feel ya!

Now read Amelia’s speech using Boris Karloff’s voice.

Oh, this is gonna be good!

I bet Amelia would have made Valentine’s Day a less miserable experience for me in school!

The meter of Amelia’s last line is off by one syllable. Otherwise, a swell strip.

Wow! Reference to two fictional characters or movies. Except, I doubt Amelia will suddenly grow a heart.

That won’t last long… remember that Grinchy is good now!

Que the Jaws music…

Finally a story of suspense and action for Valentine’s Day! But I have a feeling it will end up with Spud and Amelia eating chocolate while sitting together.

I’d watch the heck out of this special. Assuming she doesn’t change her tune by the end of it, at least.
