'Henry cites Calvin and Hobbes as an influence, and the similarities are clear. Gentle guffaws abound in this bucolic charmer.' (Kirkus Reviews)

'Expect fans of Lincoln Peirce's Big Nate series to find kinship here.

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. 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. 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.

Think 'Peanuts' if Charlie Brown were less of a mope or 'Calvin & Hobbes' if Calvin weren't a bit of a psychopath.
