Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for October 22, 2023

My music lures people in!

There is nothing that can be said that could complement this strip any better than this. So just don’t say anything.

Laughing and laughing! Seagull figures it out before Spud.

No beer? Well, it’s a comic about kids….

Even Seagull isnt buying it.

Yeah, but Oktoberfest ended three weeks ago.

Das Boot der Oktoberfest! Jawol! Raus!

The guy might do better business tied to the pier, serve pedestrians on one side and boaters on the other.

If you want October inspiration, let me suggest a cover of “Highway to H-ll” by The Heimatdamisch, it’s on all the YouTubes.

Wallace thinks he’s hearing Polka Sirens but calls them “mythical”. He should have said “supposedly mythical”.

sweet Neptune and radishes

Great tentacle puppets!

Brat is not the wurst!

Sea Sarlacc!!

We know the Brat Boat guy is not a Polka Siren himself – no feather in his hatband.

I love the Brat boat but why isn’t he docked? There just can’t be that many boaters who will go to him at this time of year. I agree with Dirty Dragon, walk up business on one side, float up on the other!

Now I have to drive down to the Pier and see if the Brat Boat is in.

This brought the Sam Adams Oktoberfest commercial to mind.

Not as alluring as the bagpipe sirens!!

Now I want a bratwurst.

NOW you’ve got the right boat!!

Hot dogs probably would have worked with the ancient Greeks too……

I want a big pretzel and a beer.

The set is the set. LOL

It’s always Oktoberfest in Leavenworth, Washington.

They’re gonna polka your eyes out.

Brilliant art today. Love the monster and his polka puppets!

Holy Neptune Wallace! It’s Talking Tentacles!!

Where oh where did Will sign his name?

Love the land tenacles working the polka band.

A good brat would lure me in.

Awesome art on the sea monster. Love it.

And speaking of brats, that reminds me of an item on the “Letterman” list of "Top Ten reasons to go see the movie ‘Bruno’ … " [my all-time favorite list from the show]

9. “Features lots of suggestive words like ‘bratwurst’ and ‘schnitzel’.”

The set is the set.

Only in Snug Harbor!

What about “Weird Al” Yankovic’s polkas? Would those have similar attractiveness?

Run boys, before they get to the Cicken Dance! Once it starts you’re doomed!

It’s too bad that GoComics won’t let us post links. I found a great picture of a Dead Leaf mantis in its threat pose that held up its arms in a perfect imitation of a large mouth, much the same shape as the creature pictured.

Especially if the monster (or hot dog stand) is playing Cleveland polka!
