I’ve always enjoyed drawing and telling stories. People have also told me I have a good sense of humor. It just made sense to create comic strips.
Growing up in the 90s, when comic strips were a cultural staple, Henry noted that the medium had a significant impact on him. “The 90s were when comic strips were really influential. I grew up with them everywhere and they definitely left a lasting impression, he recalled. This foundation in both storytelling and humor led Henry to create Wallace the Brave, a comic that has become known for its relatable quirky characters and the lighthearted charm that resonates with readers.
