Description

Wallace the Brave by Will Henry tells the story of a young boy - Wallace McCellan, his mom & dad, his feral brother (Sterling), his best friend (Spud), his smartest friend and school hall monitor (Rose), and the new girl in town (Amelia).

I love it! This strip was a Christmas gift from Kathy, the Wonder Wife. Will offered a few strips for sale before Christmas, but I was going to pass since I have a daily and wasn't comfortable buying one of the Sundays because they were expensive. Kathy was not bothered by that. :)

To give you a little perspective on how I feel about the strip, my personal line of favorite comics goes:

Skippy by Percy Crosby
Cap Stubbs/Cap Stubbs and Tippie/Tippee by Edwina Dumm
Peanuts by Charles Schulz (especially the early years (50s/early 60s)!)
Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson
Wallace the Brave by Will Henry

Yeah, I know. That's a strong heritage, but I really feel like it's their successor and I'm glad it's out there.

I'm not the only one that feels this way.

NPR did a story on The Unusual Success Of The 'Wallace The Brave' Comic Strip.
Here's the introduction to Wallace the Brave run my local paper, The Houston Chronicle.
Here's what the Worchester, MA paper (Telegraph) wrote about Will and Wallace
Rhode Island PBS Weekly created a video

If your paper does not have it, you can order collections book from the usual places, e.g., Amazon or your local books store or LCS.

P.P.S., At the NCS 2019 meeting, Will was awarded the Reuben award for Best Newspaper Strip!

P.P.P.S., listen to Will on the Strip Search podcast.
