Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 08, 2023

Cool Seagull on the t-shirt.

Chum?

Lobster bait isn’t cheap, but Dad’s just being shellfish..

Fish guts in the bed of the truck, not so bad. Inside the cab, not so good.

For what, Dad?

And Spud had no involvement in all this?

Easy fix. Roll down the cab windows, drive into the ocean. Wait a few minutes, roll the windows back up and drive back out. Problem solved.

Those plastic bucket lids can be tricky; sometimes they seem to be locked on, when they’re not.

but Wallace always wears either a black shirt or a black jacket, noting else really..

I assume for something like fish bait, right?

You want clean laundry? Bring them inside to stare at a computer screen all day – like some of us are doing.

Maybe not for the truck.

Yeah.. fish guts don’t keep well, especially in a truck on a hot sunny day

Sorry, Chum, I mean, Dad…

Kids will be kids….

Sez Dad MacLlelan, who stains his work clothes with fish guts. :D

My cousin left a 5LB package of ground beef in the capped bed of his truck. It was pretty odoriferous and hosted a large swarm of flies before anyone noticed.

Wallace’s expression in the last panel ♥

“accidentally”

The fish guts are still going to be fine. Soup was it?

Not to worry. If its in the bed of the truck the seagulls will have it cleaned up by now. They work fast and efficently and leave white calling cards everywhere. If its in the cab, the truck will be unlivable for a month. And summer is coming.
