Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for July 27, 2024

Mom. Not sure if she’s happy to get an “ILU” text occasionally, or if she’s videoing dad for the viral views.

I don’t really understand why Mum is annoyed ?

Let’s see: Head down, walking, texting, bumps into stuff-phone zombie!

Mom loves that acting, she wants an Encore :))

You’re not wrong Dad. Hunching over and being on your phone is bad for your neck and back.

It doesn’t seem like you raised that kind of kid, Dad!

Wallace’s little arm in the last panel <3

I admit, I don’t get today’s comic. I don’t understand what happens in the second panel, nor what Mom is referring to in the last panel. Maybe Will Henry could pop in and explain?

The last panel hides a Dad joke (bad pun), it’s very “apparent” right?

They can’t all be gems.

As time goes on, it’s becoming more important that I don’t realize how old I am.

It appears there is a surprised lobster in panel 2. Heh-heh. Heh.

What the heck is going on? I don’t even see a phone.

And if, when we were teenagers, we had something in our pocket that was a combination TV, music player, game machine, and library, and could contact all of our friends with it – we wouldn’t have used it much at all, would we?

A parent. Is Mom pregnant?

He really is pretty accurate…..

And now we know where Sterling gets his.

I live this more every day.

OK: I got it. Dad poses a riddle: what is he when he texts while he walks and bashes into things? Answer: Wallace’s generation. Mom saw, and loved the performance. (And, dad doesn’t have a phone in hand while he does this.)

You’re never too old to be a phone zombie.

How many people Wallace’s age could text with fishing gloves?

Is this a word play on “apparent”? A parent?

Today’s episode of Wallace brought to you from the real life experiences of Will Henry!

“People try to put us d-down (talkin’ ’bout my generation)

Just because we get around (talkin’ ’bout my generation)

Things they do look awful c-c-cold (talkin’ ’bout my generation)

I hope I die before I get old (talkin’ ’bout my generation)

This is my generation

This is my generation, baby"

Townshend

Dad is likely a Millennial and Wallace Generation Alpha (post z)

♫ Talkin’ ‘bout my Generation has become Textin’ like my Generation.

He’s docked already. He’s texting while walking and walked into the lobster. Pots!

Trust me….you do not want to be that generation!!!!

Dad, your generation do pretty much the same.

For the old people: Wallace is technically beneath the generation that has the phones lik e that. His dad hasn’t realized there’s been multiple generations between him and Wallace.
