Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 09, 2021

Don’t worry—this time of year there’s always more snow!

Wallace is destined to be a contractor.

Wallace has a bright future ahead of him as a general contractor.

Dream big, little buddy!

I zoomed to 500%, still cannot make out what is sliding along with him. The ever-present seagull, perhaps?

Got a chuckle from the seagull joining in the fun in panel 2.

The dreams of youth never seem to match the reality.

Can always pray for more snow/building material…..

This is a scene from my childhood. Is that also true for you?

My family home has a hill to one immediate side of it, and I remember my dad one year took our snowblower and piled all of the snow from the sidewalk and a good share of our front yard at the top so to artificially raise the height of the hill by another three or four feet.

Particularly good sledding as I recall, that year. :D

One’s aspirations should always exceed one’s abilities. Except when mating.

The closest we got to this was when we built a foot tall dam over a creek. It lasted almost a year before being washed away. We used what was left as a bridge/walkway after that. I think a very small bit of it remains.

Even in wallaces imagination sterling is there waiting for a turn.

Wait for the Day after Tomorrow

probably work for the state highway

That is why God made snow making machines.

He just needs some heavy equipment.

Glad to see Spud up for an adventurous activity.

Part of the learning process is figuring out how to match up your reach with your grasp.

Panel 2: A childhood memory of my father’s bothered him ever after—a cheesy record with “Santa Claus” reading “Now we will go to the room next door / Where the Christmas tree reaches from the ceiling to the floor.” That sounded wrong to him. Yet was it in Sally Forth that the family hung their tree from the ceiling this year?
