Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 18, 2021

Mime times mime is mimity-mime.

A & B, a play.

Dramatis Personae: A & B, who are not mimes.

A. Depending on whether you hate mimes or love them (and I don’t understand why they evoke such strikngly opposite reactions), they are either unspeakable or ineffable.

B. You don’t say?

Curtain.

[No one involved in the creation and presentation this play was ever heard from again.]

spud in the first panel is me when somebody opens the window on the submarine for “fresh air”

nah spud thats cheese on your ear you always ordering extra cheese

Are they still teaching the times table?

My fear, Kroykall, is that one EMP incident, frying all of our tech and Millennial’s, Gen Zs and following will know how to deal with doing math in their heads or with pencil and paper.

Hasn’t Spud gotten trapped in an invisible box a time or two..?

No seagull mime?

How old is Wallace again?

pizza sauce not surprised

I hate mimes. In fact I loath them and always have!

There was a lot of arguing over whether I could pass 5th grade because I could not recite times tables. I sometimes had to stop to figure one out. Finally, the teacher, Mom, the principal and I were in the class room and they said, “go to the board and multiply 6 × 7.”

I started. “6 6’s are 36, so we need another 6. 6 and 6 are 12 so that makes, um, 42.”

Mom and the teacher were sure that was incorrect, but the principal said, “What’s wrong with that? He knows more about multiplying than the rest of the class.”

So I passed 5th grade, barely.

Somehow? You mean again!

This one is pretty random today…

I just hate it when that happens. Can’t hear a thing……

Who was the first mime anyway? And why?

One of those comics where there’s nothing I can say that could possibly top it.

If Spud hates mimes, then why is he wearing a black and white striped shirt?

Even worse than a table full of mimes: pizza sauce in your ear!

This is certainly one of the very silliest and funniest WTBs in a while. Good going, Spud!

Spud is channeling Emily Latella

“Never mind…”

… and Rosanne Rosanna Danna lives on!

I say again: Calvin and Hobbes, Arlo and Janis, Wallace the Brave. Are there any other comic strips which even come close to their perfection? And I think we have a three-way tie for the top spot in the United States, at least.

Sauce In The Ear?

The mime getting slapped is weird
