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), and the new girl in town (Amelia).

I love it! I should mention tha Will picked the strip and it's as if he read my mind. I was the kid in class reading what he "should not" during class. Usually it was Tom Swift, Jr. books as opposed to comics when in elementary school. It was comics in my Tue/Thr 1pm Electrical Engineering class during college though! :)

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, the link in the first P.S. will send you to the GoComics page. You can order the book from the usual places, e.g., Amazon or your local books store or LCS.

P.S., You can visit my strip on GoComics by clicking here. A scan of the strip published in the Houston Chronicle is in the Additional Images.

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