Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for May 16, 2024

Even ruffled Seagull’s head feathers.

Sterling, what can one say

Fire drills: not just for school!

If I’m awake at 4:30, everyone should be awake at 4:30!

Seriously, start looking into Homes. Preferably ones with Electric Fences and Moats. It will be fine, he’ll find friends there. I’m positive Insurance will cover tuition.

Now I know how to get my kids up in the morning for school. This is excellent.

Had that happen just two days ago. Alarm went off in an apartment the floor below mine. The sensor status panel for the building was going insane, and no one answered the door when I banged on it. Fire department showed up after a few minutes, then gave the all-clear 15 minutes after that, without explaining what set off the alarm. We suspect burnt toast.

Now, Sterling is toast!!

Such a smart, inventive young kid!

Seagull is dazed.

Apparently Mom wears a sleep mask at night. I wonder why? Does Dad need a nightlight in order to sleep?

Did anyone notice that panels 1 through 3 are a divided into a pan shot?

At work. Office 7 floors up. Fire alarm goes off and we all troop out. Figure it is a drill but FD shows up!! Eventually, no fire found. We troop back in and the story spreads on what happened. Woman’s birthday and coworkers surprised her at her desk with a cake and lit candles. Smoke detector over her desk, LOL!!! She took a lot of ribbing about the number of candles, LOL!!

At least he has undies on.

Sterling’s so thoughtful.

The little animal is up and now everyone is up. So let’s have breakfast at 4 in the morning. :-{

Seagull’s expression had me laughing.

I believe a “reckoning’” is in order!!!!

Oh, he’d be chained up in the shed. And the shed would be far, far inland.

Sterling’s idea of an alarm clock.

…you can’t exactly deny that it’s extremely effective.

“This has been a test of the (fire) emergency network. Please remain calm and exit the building. Thankyou”

Do they not have a cage for that kid?

“Smoky toast!” (thanks to Heywood Banks).

Not gonna lie, this trick is clever in a very Sterling sort of way.

A Sterling example of what not to do at some God-forsaken hour of the morning.

And, yes, I actually posted a pun even though I generally despise them. And no, I’m not sorry, and no, I won’t see myself out!

English Muffins work better on my breakfast detectors.

The feral one is diabolical.

NO one likes the sound of a smoke detector alarm!?

That’s one way to wake everyone up

Knowing Sterling, this action is pretty tame. He could have turned it up to 11.

A burnt offering to the deity of Sterling’s choosing. This morning. Almost everyone sleeps in their underwear… apparently.

In the words of FogHorn Leghorn, “Ah say, there’s something not right with that boy”

When I had one of these busybody robots over the stove, it would add insult to injury at a time when it was perfectly obvious what was burning, i.e. I was cooking. I disconnected the thing. The cats are best at detecting and reporting any suspicious odors or noises in the home.

Dad’s boxers crack me up.
