Stephan Pastis And Will Henry Collaborate to Create Comics

Fan favorites Stephan (Pearls Before Swine) Pastis and Will (Wallace the Brave) Henry have teamed up to create “a laugh-out-loud illustrated middle-grade adventure” scheduled for release at the beginning of the 2026/27 school season.

From the Simon and Shuster description:

Porter Avery is just your average boy from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with your average boy problems: he’s got a math test he definitely should be studying for (he isn’t), and a dad who’s making him go to bed (he doesn’t want to). But when a magical malfunction takes Porter from his very everyday attic into the very not-everyday realm of Eternia, he’ll find that problems with homework and helicopter parents pale in comparison to, say, an epic battle between He-Man and Skeletor that may or may not determine the future of the entire planet??!

Skeletor Ate My Homework back cover

Skeletor Ate My Homework (The Adventures of He-man and Porter #1) by Stephen Pastis and Will Henry has a September 1, 2026 release date.

Included is a blurb stating “this first installment of the new series: The Adventures of He-Man and Porter.” So it seems Pastis and Henry have signed up for a multi-book run.

With this close working cartooning relationship is a Rat and Wallace and Pig and Spud crossover inevitable?
