Wallace the Brave by Will Henry for January 23, 2025

Heathcliff has a fire-breathing chihuahua among its other quirky recurring characters.

Still trying to envision what Sterling sounds like. Chucky or Venom.

I believe the older one gets the handier a miniature dragon would get for lighting the candles on a birthday cake. I know it would make it easier to light mine.

Sterling’s eyes. A boy can dream.

Foosh – the fire is proper!

The shrinking ray might be more realistic than the dragon.

I usually limit myself to one impossible wish at a time. Perhaps I lack imagination.

Looks like the future holds a seventh birthday for Wallace!

Call up Boody, from “MythTickle”

I actually have a lighter shaped as a dragon and the flame comes out of its mouth! I used to use it to light the camp fires on our overnight fishing trips! :-)

With a dragon, Wallace would take on the Thread

I wouldn’t give Sterling even a pack of matches! let alone anything with automatic flame.

Pet Flame Thrower is my new band name.

Love seeing more of Sterling in the strips he is always so unpredictable

Who doesn’t?

……ohhhh the power of suggestion!!!

Pocket flamethrowers are fine, if you remember to keep the safety on…

Sterling – “And I will name him Smokey.”

re:flame thrower. Me too

hey guys. i just wanted to say that i hope u guys wish me on my birthday. its jan 2nd. that is, if you all are my friends. which i desperately hope to be true. see you guys in 344 days! :)

Where was mom? Surfing! The waves were perfect and she couldn’t resist although it was only 28 degrees.

We need a full sized version of that third panel to go on the new line of WTB birthday cards.

Sterling with a flamethrower. Now that would be a story line!

birdie is missing… :(

I used to have a nice Godzilla lighter that would have the flame come out of his mouth when you pushed up his back ?fin.

It must be a certain type of writing style, leaving the leading question till the end. Almost as a punch line. Whatever it’s called…..NAILED IT!!

You can get in enough trouble with those propane weed burners. One neighbor stinks up the block in late summer when he starts torching the weeds, but it can be worse. A guy where I used to live succeeded in setting the dry weeds in his back yard on fire, and fortunately there were enough of us in the vicinity to bring hoses and water buckets, leaving him with a charred wooden fence and scorched garage siding. Worst case was a guy down the street who was trying to use one to strip paint off his siding…house was a total loss.

So no flame throwers…let’s stick to paintball and laser tag, ’kay?

I’ve always loved dragons.

Same Sterling, same.
