The setting of Snug Harbor incorporates elements of Henry's hometown of Jamestown, Rhode Island. He has claimed both Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes and Richard Thompson's Cul de Sac as influences on the strip's style. Wallace the Brave is elaborated from sketches of a child Henry began to make after working on Ordinary Bill. After graduation he created the comic strip Ordinary Bill, which depicted a beach bum cartoonist and ran in his hometown newspaper The Jamestown Press, but found the subject matter too limiting. Will Henry, the pen name of liquor store co-owner William Henry Wilson, previously drew a strip called Dormmates for the Connecticut Daily Campus, the daily student newspaper at the University of Connecticut. In March 2018 it began appearing in over 100 newspapers worldwide. It debuted on the company's GoComics website in 2015.
