... summer has arrived ...

Panel 1

Wobinna and her friend, Micki enter Tamie’s Place, the local hangout where all the students from the neighborhood high school meet. As they enter, Wobinna turns to Micki and asks ...

Wobinna (curiously): How’s your summer job going?

Micki (smiling): Well ... you know ...


Panel 2

While having a cup of coffee Micki and Wobinna talk enthusiastically about Micki’s Project Management position for the summer.

Micki (excitedly): Let me tell you about my office reno, it’s gonna be like ... soooo sic!!

As Micki talks about her mental picture of the project, she explains its progress. During their conversation they both envision all the building activities.

Micki (giving building directions with vigor): I need this here ... Oh, and here ... And I want this here ... Especially there!

Builder (rolling his eyes in confusion and thinking Blah! Blah! Blah!): Where do you want the door?!

Wobinna (captivated by all the details): With all your explaining, building should be a breeze!

Panel 3

Micki takes Wobinna to the job site to show her the progress. To her dismay she realizes that her instructions where not completely understood.

Micki: LOOK! ... After all my explaining he still put the door in the wrong place!!!

Builder (looking more confused than ever, thinking to himself with a shrug): That’s what you told me you wanted.

Wobinna (thoughtfully): Maybe we have to draw pictures!!

Hope you enjoyed this strip.
