Snug Harbor Stories: A Wallace the Brave Collection!

By Will Henry

Think "Peanuts" if Charlie Brown were less of a mope or "Calvin & Hobbes" if Calvin weren't a bit of a psychopath. "Wallace The Brave" is about a family. 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. 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 ... The world of childhood depicted in the strip is a timeless, outdoorsy one reminiscent of strips like "Calvin & Hobbes" and "Cul De Sac," both of which Henry cites as influences. — NPR's Glen Weldon

Reviews for Snug Harbor Stories

[lycomayflower · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This second collection of Wallace the Brave comics is just as delightful and funny as the first. I'll be happy to keep reading about Wallace and his family and friends for a long time.

This is a collection of the Snug Harbor Stories that are syndicated in various newspapers and other outlets. I love this group. They are witty, but still have touching moments and sections you want to hang on the fridge. Kids and adults alike can enjoy this collection.
