Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for July 28, 2020

Dad: “We’ll talk more when your mother gives the Unholy One a bath.”

Yeah, The Feral One is a deal breaker!

Google Maps says you can’t.

It’s winter in Chile now. I’d love to get away from this 90° weather.

Bringing up Sterling is a hair-raising business, indeed..

“…not without me.”

You live on an island. Good luck with that.

I think mom needs help with Sterling today. Somebody get the leather bindings and cage please.

Does Wallace have only one pair of swim trunks, or seven identical pairs?

No, actually, you can’t. Let me introduce you to a little thing called the Darien Gap.

Actually, you can’t. The Interamerican highway stops in Darien, Panama.

My 7yo twins actually had this exact conversation with me (panels 1-2) a few weeks ago… Mind blown.

Mom: “Only if you take Sterling WITH YOU!”

Don’t you dare – without taking Sterling with you!

The best part of today’s cartoon for me is the way Dad stops what he’s doing, and picks Wallace up to eye level, then sets him on the counter to talk with him. Nicely done!

Wallace, aren’t you a little over dressed today?

To a kid it all sounds good. As an adult it get complicated. It’s like people who want to work for themselves and be “their own boss”. Good luck with that. Everyone of your customers is your boss

Sterling’s a bit over-stimulated this morning….

I’ve driven to get takeout chili, but never to Chile.

Keep in mind going that far south does not necessarily end well.

The feral one seems to really be earning his nickname today!

Unless you take Sterling with you.

Why Chile?

OK, Mr. McCee, tell Wallace the truth: kids can get away with a helluva lot more of what they want to do than an adult ever could.

The gull has a unibrow!

Counterpoint: “Absolutely do it, but only if you also take Sterling.”
