comment |
Wallace the Brave is a comic strip created by Will Henry, the pen name of William Henry Wilson. The first strip came out on June 29, 2015.The strip is set in the small seaside town of Snug Harbor, which Henry based on his hometown of Jamestown, Rhode Island. The title character is adventurous boy Wallace McClellan. He shares the stage with his fun-loving parents, his odd baby brother Sterling, his angst-ridden best friend Spud, brash new kid in town Amelia, and (as of late) academic overachiever Rose.Fans of Calvin and Hobbes and Cul-de-sac could well find a lot to like in this strip. |

Chekhov's Gag |
| | Wallace the Brave (Comic Strip) / int_22cf50f9 |
comment |
Chekhov's Gag: One storyline began with a seemingly random gag where Wallace filled Spud's backpack with a bowling ball. Later, when Spud gets captured by a half-blind dogcatcher, he was able to escape by breaking the cage open with the said bowling ball. |

Butt-Monkey: Things rarely, if ever, go Spud's way. Staining his pants then ripping the pair Wallace gave him to avoid embarrassment, getting mistaken for a raccoon, walking off the pier in the middle of his rants, anything's on the table when it comes to Spud's misfortunes. |

Four-Temperament Ensemble: The main child characters: Wallace (Sanguine) — A fun-loving Fearless Fool. Spud (Melancholic) — Nervous Wreck who gets dragged along. Sterling (Phlegmatic) — Borderline feral baby brother indifferent to custom. After Rose is introduced, she becomes a much more traditional Phlegmatic character, a Cute Bookworm who rarely initiates wacky antics but is placidly okay about going along with them. Amelia (Choleric) — Aggressive tomboy. |

Is This Thing Still On? |

Is This Thing Still On?: After Spud gets lost in a cornfield, Wallace calls him on the walkie-talkie and remarks that someone should warn Spud about the dangers of alien abduction in a cornfield, but probably leave out the horrifying experiments they'd subject him to...only to realize he'd been holding the button down in the last panel. |
