Sunday Funday Wallace

Will Henry’s Sunday Funday Wallace is an absolute treasure trove for anyone who loves the whimsical, wild world of Wallace the Brave. This collection gathers the full-color Sunday comics, giving each adventure a little more room to breathe and shine. If you’re already a fan, this book is a must-have. If you’re new to the town of Snug Harbor, prepare to fall in love.

What makes this comic strip so special is its cast of characters, who are all bursting with personality. Wallace himself is a whirlwind of curiosity and imagination, approaching every situation with a boundless optimism that’s both inspiring and hilarious. Whether he’s hunting for Sasquatches or showing his love for a chirping cricket in the most unexpected way possible, his adventures perfectly capture the delightful absurdity of childhood. The supporting cast, from his pragmatic dad to the ever-exasperated Spud, adds layers of humor and heart to every page. Of course, Amelia the trickster, Rose the brainiac, and Sterling the feral little brother are all part of the fun.

This collection is pure joy. It’s the kind of book you can pick up anytime for a guaranteed laugh and a reminder of the simple wonders of life. I signed up for an annual subscription to GoComics, so I can have Wallace delivered to my inbox every morning, and I downloaded countless favorites that I want to print and frame.

Henry has a real gift for bottling the magic of being a kid—the grand adventures in small places, the quirky logic, and the friendships that make it all worthwhile. This is a five-star book, no question. I can’t express enough how Wallace is a light of positivity, a blessing in our world.
