Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for December 31, 2022

Now Mr. Maclellan will wonder where his flare gun is while he’s out boating.

Proof that Amelia will never marry Spud. And Rose is wondering if Wallace is about to break any school-related regulations…

Happy New Year friends and Mainers.

Oh! The Coast Guard is not going to like this.

Looks like Wallace is getting the New Year off to a roaring start.

But, where is Sterling?

Stay on the ground, Seagull!

I love this comic.

Boy they’ll be surprised when the Coast Guard shows up.

Smoke, on the water!

My kind of girl….

Been there, done that. If its the 37mm one its got quite a kick. If its the 20mm (?) one its not so bad. Either way BANG! ZOOF!

Shootin’ stars with a flare gun, certainly.

I’m half waiting for Sterling to show up with a flamethrower, haha.

So – children from 4 different families get up in the middle of the night and wander off…parents don’t have a clue?

The problem with firing off a flare gun for fun is that it’s, by design, supposed to draw lots of attention to you doing so…which in this case may not actually be so wanted.

For a moment, Amelia feared that Wallace had become a poet.

It really needs another panel, tucked in between 2nd and 3rd, where they’re all just looking up in wide wonder at the glory of the universe. And THEN fire that flare, baby!

The bar down at the corner has been setting off loud booms since 6pm.

Suspicions confirmed, Wallace is the alter ego of my little boy! Same. Dang. Kid. This really gives me the chuckles.

Love Rose and Spuds eyes between panel 2 & 3!
