OUR EIGHTH COMIC · THE TRIP WE IMAGINED

Sandy Cape: what we thought would happen.

We’re back from Sandy Cape! Before we went, we made this comic imagining how a relaxing weekend with Ares might unfold. This is our prediction, not a retelling of the trip. We’ll share the real Sandy Cape adventure later.

Six-panel fictional Sandy Cape comic: David and Ares head to the beach, Ares steals lunch, pulls the tablecloth and shakes sand onto the bed, before the pack enjoys a swim and returns home exhausted.

Sandy Cape: A relaxing weekend… David drives towards Sandy Cape with Ares: “Sun, sand and a relaxing weekend!” Ares thinks: “And snacks.”

Lunch inspector. Ares runs away with a sandwich. David calls: “That was MY lunch!”

Table service. Ares pulls the tablecloth, sending the plates and food flying. David exclaims: “He’s clearing the table!”

Bringing the beach inside. Ares shakes sand all over the bed in the tent. David says: “We booked beachside… not beach INSIDE.”

A swim with the pack. Jo, David and Ares play together in the sea. Caption: “Still… best weekend ever.”

Home sweet home. The pack relaxes on the couch. David says: “We need a holiday after that holiday.” Ares thinks: “Somewhere with room service.”
