This is based on a true story. I am trying to not just use ‘dead weight’ lines, but instead lines with varying width. Hard to do and clearly room for improvement.

Bad With Directions

I had the inspiration for this while watching “Mare of Easttown”; there’s a scene in which someone gives really complicated directions to someone else, though the recipient is able to follow them with no problems. Every time I’m ever given verbal directions, I instantly forget them and get lost. Hopefully I’ll never be put in that position… References: The family decal is based on TownTix (Amazon)
