Wallace the Brave is a humor strip written and drawn by Will Henry and syndicated through Andrews McMeel Syndication. The strip debuted on the company's GoComics website in 2015. In March 2018 it began running in over 100 newspapers worldwide.[1][2]
Background
Will Henry, the pen name of liquor store co-owner William Henry Wilson, previously drew a strip called "Dormmates" for the Connecticut Daily Campus, the daily student newspaper at the University of Connecticut. After graduation he created the comic strip Ordinary Bill, depicting a beach bum cartoonist, but found the subject matter too limiting.[1]
Wallace the Brave is elaborated from sketches of a child Henry began to make after working on Ordinary Bill. He has claimed both Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes and Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac as influences on the strip's style.[3] The setting of Snug Harbor incorporates elements of Henry's hometown of Jamestown, Rhode Island.[1]
A Wallace the Brave collection was published in paperback by Andrews McMeel Publishing in 2017.[2][4]
