I’m not sure why I never noticed it before, but Sterling’s head shape is very similar to Dad’s. And his unibrow is an enhanced version of Dad’s bushy brows. This casts doubt on some of the origin stories that Dad has been telling about Sterling.
Wallace is ego: imaginative, ambitious, elaborate, enthusiastic, baroque—always planning something. Occasionally reined in by Spud the superego: self-conscious, protective, filtering, overthought—cancels and revises plans. Sterling is, of course, all id: impulsive, primal, immediate—no plans, no net, lives in the now.

This is the type of Wallace strip I prefer, not like the last weekly one.

I do so enjoy the artwork and imagination here. And today, I also enjoy having my own bean grinder.

What possesses the lad? No one but Sterling would think to remove all his clothes and stuff them in a coffee grinder.

Sterling, always brewing up trouble – it’s never the same old grind!

A good reason to own your own grinder.

Sterling will grow up to be either famous or infamous. There will be no middle road for him.

That kid’s got issues that really should be addressed.

Sterling is a happier dude. BTW dad, what did you cost you to replace the coffee grinder?

Boy, does that little mutant work fast.

Sterling thinks “Hmmm…I wonder if it could grind up my clothes…” Sterling would rather be naked all the time.

Sterling, the feral child they adopted from a wolf pack.

And I thought it was bad that someone put flavored coffee in the “DO NOT PUT FLAVORED COFFEE IN THIS GRINDER” coffee grinder at the store

He definitely makes life interesting for the Dad. Actually, they both do….
swenbu Premium Member over 2 years ago
I don’t get it! Is there supposed to be humor here(?) or is it just to point out another quirk of weird Sterling.

Regular Sterling is rare. Declothinated Sterling is more common.

Sterling’s got that ‘mission accomplished’ face in the final panel.

So, did Sterling use the percolator grind or the espresso setting?
