Transcript For Strip 1206
Panel 1Bok is entering his apartment. Santiago is sitting on the sofa, staring at the video wall and not looking too good, but Dorothy is not in the room.
Bok: Hey, I'm home.
Bok: Huh? Aunt Dorothy?
Bok: Where are you?
Santiago: Wuh … wuh … wuh ...
Panel 2
Bok is in the doorway to Dorothy's bedroom, where she is passed out on her bed. We can see an empty wine glass on the nightstand.
Bok: Aunt Dorothy? What are you doing?
Bok: Dad's completely dehydrated!
Bok: You're supposed to … hey, wake up!
Dorothy: {mumble}
Panel 3
Bok is sitting on the sofa with his father, helping him drink some water from a glass with a straw.
Bok: Here ya go, dad, have some nice, fresh water.
Bok: Good, huh?
Bok: I'll get some dinner for you and then it's bed-time.
Panel 4
Bok is in the kitchen, standing near the microwave as it heats up a meal.
SFX: Hmmmmm
Bok (thought): What can I do about this?
Bok: Aunt Dorothy's drinking is a hazard to Dad.
Bok: But if I turn her in for rehab, she'll rat me out for my night-travels.
Panel 5
Bok is back on the sofa with Santiago, hand-feeding him from the supper tray.
Bok: Have some more, Dad. Num-nummers.
Bok (thought): If only there was a way to shore up Aunt Dorothy's …
Bok (thought): Wait! That's it!
Panel 6
Bok is in the kitchen again, spooning something from a bag into an opened jar.
Bok (thought): This 'tartar sauce' should mix in easily with Dorothy's favorite cheese dip.
Bok (thought): Just enough to take the edge off her stress. Hopefully she'll drink less.
