Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for September 27, 2023

Someone’s trash is another’s treasure!

Besides, it sounds interesting :)

Wallace and the power of words. Sterling is currently out gathering all the red sea glass in the harbor to dump into Wallace’s bed.

Well that failed to get anybody excited.

Seagull on his own little pillow <3

I prefer blue myself.

You have reached the spirit world. All our spirits are busy with other summons. Please wait in the aether for the next available spirit.

Nice to see the seagull gets its own cushion.

Ou, red sea glass. I’ve never found red but lot’s of green and opaque blue. Isn’t gold used to make red glass? Seems I’ve read that somewhere.

But it’s shiny trash.

Oh hush, you know you love it here anyway, Amelia. ;)

Now that there is so much plastic you don’t find good seaglass like you used to. I have contemplating salting the bay with old Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray gin bottles to bring joy to future generations. But I swear I have only thought about it, not done it.

I think that the most valuable gem of Snug Harbor is Wallace’s mother, but I don’t think it would be legal to sell her. (And they would never get what she is worth.)

Sea glass can go anywhere from a couple of bucks to over a hundred on EBay depending on size, polish and clarity.

There’s a town on the Mendocino coast that used to have a bottle company. There’s tons of sea glass on the beaches, and signs saying to not collect them. they’re fun to find, but basically worthless

Seagull is on his own pillow!

Rose is starting to feel the same way, Amanda.

The red does have a value. Beadwork people that work with natural and found objects love it because it’s so rare.

Keep your expectations low and you’ll never be disappointed!

wonder what brought Amelia’s parents to snug harbor

I’d have liked to see a fancier depiction of the weird shadows on Wallace’s bottom-lit face. We’ve come to expect superior artistry from this cartoonist.

Hah! The way Spud is sitting makes him look like a dog!!

the power of imagination!
