Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 16, 2022

Shame on you Amelia for exposing Rose to such language.

The only time Amelia is having a blast is when she’s angry.

Seagull still has an active part in this one. Does the control bounce off of Amelia’s balloon or drop from it?

Sigh…that is my 16 year old Grandson, was here for 2 weeks and the only time I saw him was when he came into the kitchen for more food. A week after they left I found a plate on the slide out keyboard tray. Seemed like a nice kid tho.

Don’t bother with a translation—the Dutch guy likely speaks better English than Amelia.

Let’s see: gamer chair, gamer international connections, gamer vocabulary … someone’s in denial.

“Hier komt de knal” – here comes the bang. Little did Amelia expect…

I see that “Wallace the Brave” has passed the 7,000 follower mark. Keep spreading the word!

My new t-shirt, “hier komt de knal”.

Dutch film distributors don’t dub movies meant for kids older than 10, so he’s probably heard all those words in English already

When it makes you angry, that’s when it’s time to stop..

I love the seagull opening the window in the first panel.

Amelia! Such language! I’m appalled.

And the BLAM throws the seagull out of the room! Way too much to comment on!

The very tiny KA in the corner of the BLAM panel is nice.

40 mumble years ago, I was at a week-long aircraft convention. There was a Dutch family there with two little girls who spoke no English. I speak English and German, and could understand what the little girls were saying, but when I tried speaking German to them, they did not understand me.

Today I learned there’s a Dutch profanity wiki.

Yeah, she’s a gamer……

No, you’re definitely a gamer, Amelia. Deny it all you want, but ALL of the signs are there. ;)

Achtung! Heir ist der endt! Aufwiedersien!

I play games but am not a gamer. In the same way that I occasionally make toast but I’m not a toaster.

Amelia is a gamer… HOORAY!

Hmmmm, I wonder how my wife would respond if I said “Hier komt de knal.” to her. Laughter and/or an eyeroll, I suspect.

You have to study Will’s strip carefully for all the other gags. Seagull have a girlfriend in the window? Seagull gets blasted out of the scene by the Blam, Spud getting hit on the head by the controller and Wallace’s hat in the last two panels.

Rose’s comment probably pertains to how those particular words came to modern English. Most have Germanic roots.

The gull bustin through the window made this strip for me…..HA HA HA!!!!

Just check Google translate

Even when Rose’s hair is blown sideways by the blast, she still calmly keeps on reading her book. Good for her!

Two of my favorite strips…this one and Cul de Sac…both BLAMmed today! A double-blammy!!!

The blur of Amelia’s thumbs in panel three as she tries to avoid the “de knal”.

Spud getting bonked by the thrown controller seconds later… classic

Rose seems so calm about all of this

Ah… yeah… gocomics censors that.
