Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for August 31, 2020

Was it deep fried, Spud?

What size stick Spud? I hope it was deep fried

“Cheat day”? You mean the sharks aren’t on keto?

Does you mom even know what you do, Spud?

Ah yes, a reference to Dr. Vaddabymboom’s study out of the U. of Ubeckibeckystan that found that obese sharks have become an epidemic. Believed to be due to learned laziness as they hang around beaches waiting for the easy pickings to come to them.

A “stick” of butter weighs 250gm or 500gm?

I read many comics every day. Wallace is the only one that makes me smile in anticipation.

I would’ve put an exclamation point on that question: HOW much butter?!

Spud looks proud of his deliciousness. Cheat day!

Are those his shorts ballooning up around his legs o_O

I suspect Spud raided the McClellan’s fridge, again.

Amelia: “How hard am I going to have to push you in?”

Given the number of larger sharks drawn up here to New England by warmer than normal ocean temperatures, a wise precaution, Spud.

A whole stick, Amelia, weren’t you paying attention in panel 2?

A whole stick? Amateur!

Did anyone notice the signature? Will “Mr. Butter” Henry.

Sharks have a cheat day?

I would like to see a weeks worth of comic strips where Wallace and Spud imagine themselves as grownups.

I’m delicious. Or so I’ve been told. And very buttery.

Mmmm….butter.

I love that shark illustration at the bottom

In the US there are Western and Eastern butter sticks- both a quarter pound, Eastern sticks are longer and less wide while western sticks are shorter and wider. The advantage to Eastern sticks since they have a larger surface area is they soften faster.

Oh gawd that sounds so gross. My friend’s ankle biter once ate an entire bar of butter. The aftermath was not pretty.

When you’re out doing research work at either pole, butter is an easy way to get the calories you’re going to need, because you’re out doing Polar meteorological work or searching for meteorites.

I love that, “cheat day”
