Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for July 04, 2024

Sorry Wallace, but fun and good do not mean the same things.

that’s not like mom to squash wallace’s dreams…

she must still be upset he tossed his shoes into the ocean…

Seagull looks like he’s in a rear-facing child seat.

The Thought that Sterling is ready to go along with ANYTHING!

Good idea v. Fun idea….two very different ideas

Vroom vroom! Let’s go!!

we must’ve had a similar strip to this in the past, seems way familiar.

I know exactly what that old truck smells like – minus the seagull, of course!

Seagull is in the bed of the truck because Sterling is in the cab.

Sterling: “Off a cliff!”

Big difference between “good” and “fun”. One often ends in a trip to the emergency room.

Yes. I can just picture (yikes) it

Showing out in the driveway!!!!!…..that’s legal!!!!!!!

You see, there’s a BIG difference between a “good idea” and a “fun idea,” mom.

Believe it or not, this sort of thing has actually happened. I recall at least one incident where a cop caught a couple kids driving a car, one steering and one operating the pedals.

Sterling with a drivers license——-Scary!!

Rally ’round the family, with a pocket full of sea shells!

See there’s a difference between good ideas and fun. One is logical the other is a rip roaring Rollercoaster of a time.

Love Mom’s look in the 3rd panel.

I’m ready for another origin story!

If Sterling is pushing on those pedals now, he’s going to flood the carburetor. I’m going to make the assumption that the truck is old enough to have a carburetor.

I don’t get it – is Wallace some type of short mutant? 1st graders on average are passing the 4 foot mark – a bit of a stretch but still able to reach the car pedals.

Is mom’s name Isis? Asking for a friend, but if it is, is dad’s name Bill??

I like that Wallace is making the distinction between Good and Fun.

Wallace’s idea of fun can get somewhat exciting and very scary. :)

Mom is a good mom for those two. I’m thinking even Sterling will turn out a decent, if somewhat impulsive, grownup.

Teamwork!

Wilde: “‘Good afternoon, dear Algernon, I hope you are behaving very well.’

’I’m feeling very well, Aunt Augusta.’

’That’s not quite the same thing. In fact the two things rarely go together.’

I just thought that today’s strip is some sort of homage to Toy Story.
