This storyline with the roofers is based on the time the real life roof on the real life Big Pink House was repaired. The Man and I woke up one morning to sudden hammering and men swinging in the windows, lol! The roofers were kind, friendly, and polite, and as you’ll see REALLY adored one of the cats… It was about as stressful as any home repairs go, but full of sweet funny moments too. The Boy had just turned two and the Girl was still a baby. I had just begun the development deal to get the comic ready for newspapers, and I put this experience aside to add into the lore of the Big Pink House one day. Now, years later, the Boy is nine, the Girl is seven, and these strips will celebrate a certain good bad boy we all miss this June. The roofers LOVED him, and he was just delighted by them. You’ll know who for sure tomorrow, though I trust you’ve already guessed. :)
