Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for June 17, 2024

However much Mrs. Macintosh is paid, it is not enough

Seagull agonizing along in the last panel.

Such drama … such pathos!

Peace, Love, Banana. I shall be saying that for weeks to come. Added to the Wallace Lexicon of Cool.

Luck for Wallace that the teacher didn’t have a fire extinguisher handy right then.

If only their flair for drama would translate to Final Essays, which are due on Tuesday.

Sympathetic Seagull.

We played superheroes on a down telephone pole by the baseball backstops. Many fond adventures of our copies of the fantastic four. :) (Eventually put them in my superheroes RPGs, partly as a remembrance of one of us who is gone.)

I dunno Wallace, you’re not that hot of an actor…

Ms. MacIntosh thinking,“I don’t get paid enough for this”…

We played a similar game in gym at one of my old schools. That one was “Crocodile infested river”. Instead of lava, there were supposed to be crocodiles underneath.

banana? is that like radishes?

I’m just a hunka hunka burning love.

I’m just a hunka hunka burning love.

Welcome to Drama-Banana, not your ordinary drama. Wallace is burning (like Anakin) and Spud is crying “Noooooo” (like Luke), so I’d say they are showing “Star Wars, a-bridge edition”!

Seagull is sharing Spud’s cry of anguish!

Nice variation of “the floor is lava”!

Ain’t recess duty fun.

And the teacher is thinking “I should have gone into Sewer Maintenance.”

Yep, we did that decades ago. Or with shark-infested waters, in which case some of us got to play the sharks.

Mrs. MacIntosh’s expression is priceless.

Love it!

Love it. What drama!

The Rabbit Hole of imaginative play. Not a lost art, but unfortunately more rarely exercised.

Wallace has in mind that Hans Gruber falling from the Nakatomi Tower scene from that Christmas movie in his head.

“Yippee ki-yay, banana man!”

Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring

Banana Fall

Ha-ha, I remember playing pretend games like this with my buds back in my elementary school days. :D

I loved the simplicity of this. Children acting out scenes. Adults wondering, “Whyyy?”

Is this recess at school? Looks like the teacher in the last panel. Love her expression :^)..

I adore this comic; I have revisited today’s edition multiple times throughout my workday just because it makes me smile every time.

And I love the audience; so engrossed.

Peace! Love! Banana!!

We’ve all done this in our childhood, made an extremely dramatic and Oscar-worthy storyline with our friends because we were bored on a playground.Okay, maybe not that great of a story, but it certainly felt like it.

I truly LOL’ed. Right after my last drop of chamomile tea.

I wonder if Ms MacIntosh has met Sterling…? She may well long for the care free days with Wallace.

“Banana”

Yep, they’re definitely lifelong friends

Somebody can not wait for the school year to end

“IM MELTING!!! WHAT AN WORLD!”

Will the comic be renamed “Spud” now that Wallace has so tragically perished? Or will we see a battle to the death between Amelia and Sterling?

I heart this one so much!

S-tier drama movies

I wonder…do kids have to sign a waiver to enroll in this dangerous school?

What would this play be called?

Peace, love, banana? Now Wallace is a minion? :P

My brothers and I used to do something similar. So many fun, goofy memories!
