“Wallace” replaces “Hagar the Horrible.” The rollicking Viking was created in 1973 by Dik Browne, and in more recent years the strip has been continued by his son Chris.

Starting this week, in the footsteps of “The Yellow Kid,” it moves onto newsprint. The strip originally debuted online and already has a large fan base and a book.

“Wallace the Brave” follows the adventures of 6-year-old Wallace Maclellan, his friends Spud and Amelia, his mother, father and younger brother, and his second-grade teacher at Moonstone Elementary, Mrs. Henry draws inspiration from everyday life for his mythical Snug Harbor, where kids "still collect bugs, fly kites and eat ice cream cones upside down.”
