Packing for Mangilao


I'm packing for my big trip home.  Home, in my case, is Mangilao.

I always over pack to the point that I need a Sherpa to haul all my stuff for me.  After every trip I discover I haven't even used half the stuff I brought.

My parents have requested I return home on "family business."  I've heard thru the grapevine {via my brother, Robert} that I'm to be the subject of an intervention.

It's not a drug thing, or even alcohol, even tho I drink more than I should.  It's more in the nature of a lifestyle intervention.  My father, who is an old school disciplinarian, caught wind of my comic strip {also courtesy of Robert} and took a look online.

Whoops.

I guess that'll teach me for telling the world about my questionable decisions.

My Dad is not going to want me to return to California.  He won't care that I have two jobs, friends and other things I care about deeply.  I'll be annoyed but I know deep down all he wants is what's best for me.

I'm sure some unpleasant surprises await me tho.  I know I've been bad and I'm ready to take my medicine, so to speak.

But me returning to live in Mangilao?  That ain't gonna happen.

Stay tuned for the fireworks.

  6. I do wish you the best, I'm sure your father will understand your stance. if your comic is any indication it couldn't hurt to stick closer to your family's values.

    I went to the Duck and read both your comics front to back. That's quite a body of work!

    You've got a reader in me.
