Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 14, 2023

Could be worse, Mrs. Macintosh. Wallace could be the one wanting to stay in school with you all summer.

I wouldn’t say boring, I’d say structured, no scary surprises

Spud, the Master of left-handed compliments.

Boring, but safe.

Sure, if you expect to be eaten ayntime you’re more than ten meters from a human-made structure, school seems very attractive.

“Boring” = safe from being snackage..

Spud has heard the proverb about living in interesting times, and wants no part of any such foolishness.

The expressions in panel 2 crack me up.

School boring?!? Just to name a few, Spud has gotten his head stuck in a stairway bannister, flushed his pants down a toilet, gotten splattered by pumpkin parts (thanks Amelia), and found a “giant” snake in the boy’s room.

Teacher’s appreciation day!

Wallace: Spud vacation day 1, we are camping out in the woods.

For too many kids our schools are the only place where their lives have structure and routine. Believe it or not they crave it.

Seagull agrees wholeheartedly by the look on his peepers, haha.

I remember my childhood in the woods. We never worried about being eaten. Nor dying on thin ice, or falling from a tree fort, or getting buried alive in a dirt pile tunnel collapse.

We should have, but we were incredibly fortunate.

In a way it’s a compliment…..

But – no bullies to deal with. Which is worse, creatures or kids who want to take your lunch money?

Well, Spud and Rose could hang out there for the summer, even if not for the same reasons.

Has anyone else noticed how they’re actually GROWING UP?? Look at the strip 2 years ago. The proportions are less like those of little kids, and they use bigger words and talk more maturely…

My parents made me write reports all summer. They did not care what I wrote reports about. So, to be obnoxious, one summer all my reports were about founding members of the Soviet Communist Party. I never developed any Communist-leanings. I guess I wasn’t a “domino”.

Hmmm, a Spudermint?

I hate school ending" too, but that’s because I like school.
