So now you know what you should’ve done 3 months ago?
And among all the stuff your girlfriend *didn’t* give away prior to your move was a clay pigeon thrower?
Or was that a friendly neighbour “helping” you move (“Thank god, they’re gone!”)?
You belt your fine china in like I belt my groceries.
Still end up picking half of them from the flo- OMG THERE’S A HUGE SPIDER ON MY MONITOR GOTTA GO!!
My favorite container for goods being moved was always brown paper supermarket bags (which a friend referred to as my “matched luggage”), but they’re hard to find nowadays. Years after the move I would find bags in the back of the closet and wonder what was in them.
I just caught up with the week’s strips because I’m, you guessed it, moving. I have most of my crap in the car and I’m set to drive halfway across the country to start a new job next week. Godspeed Adam and may we both emerge from this ordeal with our sanity mostly intact.
That’s why we keep the laser cut foam cradles to pack such things as sanity, self respect [that’s the mostly empty 1 ml ampule in the corner].
The ego is deflated and packed in a duffle bag that sits on top of everything and is the first to be unpacked and will be requiring more duct tape, silly thing is so fragile for something that inflate so easily.
The other two end up inside another box at the back of the closet.
Moving today: Items have to be individually loaded into truck because friend hasn’t bothered to pack and doesn’t even have boxes for move that he has known about for months. Last time I helped move a friend for pizza and drinks.
Last time I helped a friend move, I had to buy lunch because he somehow managed to pack his credit and debit cards and had “no idea” where they were. (yeah, right)
Uhhh, I want laser cut foam cradles for my glassware. What, I do not plan to move? What has that to do with anything?!
Seriously, the first boxes for my last move were packed six month prior to the move. The last (except bare essentials) a month before. I tend to go a bit crazy about stuff like that.
I’ve never really moved very far, but I’ve moved often enough (11 addresses in the last 12 years) that I just keep all my stuff in boxes anyway. It would take me one lazy day to pack up my entire household right now, and I’ve lived in the same place for almost two years.

“‘Hate my china?’ I love my china!”
*click-click*
“PULL!”
“See you in Hell, plate.”
Is there supposed to be a comma after “provided” in panel two? I think it should be after snug.
You’re right. Good catch – my mind must’ve been elsewhere. Will fix.
This week’s strips are bringing back memories. And it’s so eerily familiar!

Some things never change, and moving is one of them!

I swear I just moved to a new place 2 weeks ago, this week’s strips has been spot-on. ‘Godspeed gravy boat’ had me in tears.
Thanks!
