Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 14, 2022

is there a tire for him to sit on

one wrong swerve and he is dead

She must not like lobster.

Baiting them with rotten fish guts…

Do you feel the love? I feel the love, yes I do.

Haven’t seen a button door lock in a while

Dad: “But… It’s my truck…”

Things todays kids will never experience. It was fun, as long as you didn’t die doing it (that may have been fun too, but I have no personal experience to speak to).

She has a point. A very smelly one.

No kids in the cartoon. Heavens no.

Stop at the car wash that they use in Ink Pen. No hot wax.

Can this marriage be saved?!?!

Aww, c’mon Dad, it’s fun!

I’m with mom on this.

The worst part of the harbor here is the fish cleaning stations.

Wait – is that one of them newfangled Rivian electric pickups? I don’t recognize the make or model…

The female version of ‘the sniff test’.

We used to ride in the back of the guy’s pickup who would take us fishing. Good times!

I wonder about the smell of fish guts on his clothes. Does the smell cling to the washer even after repeated rinses? Asking for a friend. :P

Looks like Dad’s gonna have a shower in the yard with the garden hose.

You’re lucky she let you ride there……

Maybe its not the same Seagull. They all look alike. Maybe its a different Seagull in each strip. I mean, what would Steve be doing with Wallace’s father.

Wanna bet they have a mudroom with a connected bathroom with a shower or tub? One of our best decisions in our remodel/reno was to connect the mudroom to a half bathroom. The most important half.

Awww, true love’s river runs wide and deep but, occasionally, meanders off course.

I love the dad. We should get to see more of him.

Mom and dad’s chemistry is magical. They don’t just tolerate each other. They actively feed and play into each other’s crazy. They don’t have much more than each other and manic joy is had by all.

Did he lose his hat? I hope not—it’s cold out there.

I question lobsters’ taste in fish guts.

that is kind of sad
