Mostly we see the world of the strip through Wallace's eyes, a sleepy East Coast beach town called Snug Harbor where the streets are lined with ice cream shops and the beaches are dotted with rocky tide pools.

There's Dad, a fisherman, Mom, a gardener, their almost feral young son Sterling, who never met a bug he wouldn't eat, and his older brother Wallace, a rambunctious, imaginative kid big on exploring. GLEN WELDON, BYLINE: Think 'Peanuts' if Charlie Brown were less of a mope or 'Calvin & Hobbes' if Calvin weren't a bit of a psychopath. NPR's Glen Weldon explains how this comic strip is shaking things up at a time when the funny pages are shrinking. It is already appearing in more than a hundred newspapers. He draws his inspiration from everyday life and in the age of the smart-phone, he aims to re-create a world in which kids “still collect bugs and fly kites and eat ice cream cones upside-down.” He lives in Rhode Island with his wife, his cat, and his mistress, the sea.The funny pages in the newspaper - they're kind of visual comfort food, the same characters day after day, which is why the success of a new comic strip called 'Wallace The Brave' is unusual. His professional career began with his strip Room Mates, which was published in The Daily Campus during his time at the University of Connecticut.

Will Henry is the creator behind Ordinary Bill and Wallace the Brave, both distributed on. NPR Nominated for two Eisner Awards : Best Publication for Kids (ages 9-12) and Best Humor Publication. The Huffington Post “The world of childhood depicted in the strip is a timeless, outdoorsy one reminiscent of strips like Calvin & Hobbes and Cul De Sac…” “ Wallace the Brave is a little taste of classic comics from the past.” Wallace lives in the quaint and funky town of Snug Harbor with his fisherman father, plant loving mother and feral little brother, Sterling. Welcome to Snug Harbor! Will Henry’s Wallace the Brave is a whimsical comic strip that centers around a bold and curious little boy named Wallace, his best friend Spud and the new girl in town, Amelia.
