Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for August 02, 2022

Wallace knows what’s really important. Especially since the fly had just laid her eggs in the straw…

Let your mind fly to a better place, Spudster.

Luckily Spud didn’t like it and didn’t start eating flies.

Appropriate shades of green in panel 2.Also, one fly says Will Henry.

With luck, that’ll be the worst day you ever have.

That is why I have a beer glass with a tankard lid. It just takes once, and you will never be able to forget

Better than a yellowjacket – marginally..

This happened to a friend of mine in elementary school, except it was a yellowjacket.

Spud has a traumatic experience every day, I’m surprised he ever gets out of bed.

A fly? It could have been worse: a baby cockroach, a centipede, a worm, a wasp, a bee…

Did it crunch or squish?

That won’t leave ya.

One year ago today: https://www.gocomics.com/wallace-the-brave/2021/08/02?ct=v&cti=2112925 The fly incident must have been after the visit to Rose.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.

It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge.

This is the dimension of imagination.

It is an area which we call the Spud Zone.

Don’t worry, Spud. When you hit puberty, you will have days that will make that but a humorous memory.

Worst day of the fly’s life too….

Bee glad it wasn’t a bee…

That fly went where few flies had gone before, at least.

" … But Wallace! The fly said the name, Will Henry !! … And now, I’ll NEVER know WHY !!! " … :)

Perspective: Aug. 1 was fifteen years from the day the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis fell into the Mississippi River during the evening rush hour. That’s a life-changing day.

Next time use a silly straw – gives you more time to see what you’re ingesting.

…and it tastes just like cherry cola. C O L A cola.

My sister once took a swig of her can of beer after someone had put a cigarette butt into it. I think that was when she gave up drinking…

I’m surprised he ever gets out of bed given his history.

So is the Seagull in his room now, or was he there the day of the fly in the straw flashback.

Some studies have said that the average person eats about 1 to 2 pounds of bugs a year in the the food we eat. Spud is just ahead of the curve.

Please, you think that’s bad, Spud? I was on a class trip to an amusement park, and at lunch a bird flying overhead pooped into my soda when I wasn’t looking, and nobody told me until after I took a drink.

“Help meee!”

“…Perhaps he’ll die.”

As a young child, a classmate told me they’d eaten some raisins and a fly came out of one of them and flew out of her mouth. Turned me off of raisins until early adulthood when I realized that a fly in a raisin just can’t happen. LOVE raisins now :)

It was a bee in a Coke can for me.

I had a similar experience—a fly somehow got in the way just as I was taking a drink from my water bottle, so I ejected both fly and water from my mouth. Grossed out my poor friend, lol.

Disgusting. I like that.

I had this happen to me in the office when an ant crawled into my can of soda. My co-workers thought I was having a seizure.

How Kafkaesque!
