Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 05, 2024

Wallace is full of inspiration. Which is one thing Amelia’s never really needed. What she lacks is “opportunity.”

Seagull looks stuffed with fries. Love his bent legs.

What the heck is with gocomics and this gray blob that covers half of the screen and comics lately?

Do like that song…..

Is Amelia’s last name Wurlitzer by any chance? She looks like the best player on the team.

Yes, Amelia. You can get back to hitting a baseball. Just don’t hit aliens in the balls with your baseball as that could lead to an invasion.

I know everyone knows this, but I think it’s worth clarification. There is no “dark side” of the moon if that expression is understood to mean a side always in darkness. There is a near side and a far side, but in the moon’s courses around the earth they receive equal amounts of sunlight and are in darkness equally. That’s why there are “phases” that from our vantage appear as different shapes… crescent, full moon, half-moon, and such.

The expression “dark side of the moon” is useful as a figure of speech for “the mysterious” or unseen, but even Stanley Kubrick once made the mistake of thinking that it literally referred to a side always in darkness. [And this was after he had made his masterpiece “2001 : A Space Odyssey.”]

So, Wallace is excused for this misleading use of the expression.

Better to think in terms of day and night sides or near and far sides.

“There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.”

The far side of the moon, which never faces the earth, would be an excellent staging area for aliens planning an earth invasion.

Have a nice day.

What has Wallace been smoking?

So… hit the moon and the aliens are going to fly you around the cosmos? Radical, Wallace!

Aliens, the Chinese and perhaps Pink Floyd are on the dark side of the moon

You do you, Amelia.

Believe he lost focus!!!!

And I’ll meet you there!

I think this pep talk is losing track of what it originally wanted to say.

todays my birthday and this comic has singlehandedly helped me thou a tough time

Your pep talk took a weird turn there Wallace

Be careful Wallace, Amelia is likely to bonk you on the head if you continue…

I hope everyone knows there is no dark side of the moon. There is a far side, but it receives just as much light as the near side.

If you fall short, you’ll probably fall back to earth and end up making a very tall hole.

The farside alien stories were popular when I was a kid. There’s even a jazz tune that loosely follows the idea: “Can You Hear Me?” by Paul Hardcastle / JazzMasters. I think it is on Youtube. I was never quite as enthusiastic as Wallace about that stuff, but that’s the kind of friend I wish I’d had at that age. If he can channel that imagination and put some hard work into it, he will have more real-life adventures when he grows up…

The Chinese spacecraft must have sent back pictures of the aliens, Wallace. It was just on the dark side of the moon and left some graffiti!

Amelia just wants to hit things.
