Sick to Death of Packing

That’s right, I’m gonna be packing and moving all this week. I initially thought about re-posting older strips but I’m gonna see if I can multi-task and draw strips during the move – I think I’ll need to draw (read: complain) about the whole ordeal anyway.
Hopefully I’ll have time to draw throughout the week, but if an old strip goes up you’ll know that the poo has hit the fan.
No guest cartoonists around? If you could’ve gotten hold of any of these you may have had (are these the right tenses for this if-clause? I only have enough storage for one of these…) the choice between letting them draw strips for you and pack your stuff yourself or continue drawing and let them help you packing. 😉
Too short of notice to trumpet the call for guest cartoonists. But I like the idea of asking them to pack for me. ‘Course, that would mean I’d have to help them pack when they move and I’d rather go jump in a Jacuzzi filled with leeches than do that.
Moving stinks! I’ma look for some of that cereal next time I have to do it!
Ick, I feel you on this, moving is the absolute worst. Good luck!
Wow, I’m actually packing and moving stuff this weekend for a new apartment move-in next Wednesday. You are strangely prophetic, Adam. And this is why I keep sticking around 😛
Every time I think about decorating or buying real furniture I think about the moving process and I’m like, nah.
Uhm… Lift with your knees, not your back. Put heavier items on the bottom, lighter items on the top. Put your mattress on the truck last so it’s the first thing you unpack – so, if nothing else, you can go to sleep when you get there. Keep track of the coffee pot, coffee, filters and a few cups. …and a cooler full of bottled water and soft drinks isn’t nearly as useful as a cooler full of beer. 🙂
I drink neither coffee nor beer… Am I fucked?
And I have neither good knees nor a good back. I am definitely fucked.
Somehow I get the feeling I’m the only person in the world who actually LIKES moving – I love all the packing and organizing and unpacking and more organizing. If only I lived any closer so I could come help you, but as things are, I can only wish you luck! May everything go as smoothly as possible!
Thank you. And you’re crazy.
I lost my shit at “Ebola Toast Crunch”
then again, one expects that reaction to Ebola.
Haha!
Zombies move house, in a sense. Whenever someone discovers the current location of the zombie hideout, they have to all pack up and stumble somewhere else. Do you know how hard it is to move a computer desk when you can’t even keep your arms on? Yeah, me neither.
In any case, good luck, Adam.
Even if you do have to post older strips, this comic is 7 years old! Reading your old ones will still feel like reading ones you just made in a different style because we probably won’t remember them. Good luck on the move!
Thanks! Hope it doesn’t come to that though.
Well, that depends. I read through the archives every so often. The older ones still crack me up 😀
A buddy of mine has a mantra whenever he moves (read: whenever I help him move):
“Too. Much. S#!T!”
Well, is he married? Because I helped a guy once, and we were moving his stuff,
And his wives stuff
And his wives stuff
And his wives stuff
…
He is, but all the times I helped him move were before he got married. They’re moving in a couple of weeks and yes, I’m helping, but she’s in charge and already has everything packed. And has given away at least half of their (his) stuff.
I haven’t moved in 20 years, but when I do the listing will read:
Single story ranch. 2 bed, 2 bath. Fully furnished. Family photos included.
Haha! God, I’d love to just look at all of my stuff, shrug, leave everything here, and just drive an empty car to my new place.
I wouldn’t be that hard.
Most of my stuff is broke, anyway.
