'Cuz it's KILLIN' ME!
I really miss Wallace The Brave from the old thread, it's very sweet and the art is great, and it manages to hit that Cul-de-Sac sweet spot of whimsy and family realism.

So here's a dump of my favorites I saved:

1.

2.

3.

4.

I'll be honest, that snack shack chicken-n-cheese sounds pretty good.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

11.
I really like this one in particular.

And because I feel like it, here's the last few days' worth of strips:

Aren't they also very early? Is old guy's vision really bad and that's why he didn't see the kids before he started counting seats? The whole thing is silly.

The kids walked in and picked the best seats while they were talking because it's actually pretty easy to do. Duh.

I'll gladly second that recommendation but with the caveat of "don't read Yoshihiro Tatsumi if you want to feel good about humanity."

Of course, if you're reading this thread you probably abandoned any hopes for your fellow man long ago.
