It's Home

Theo: “Glad to help, sir; let me just pull up your account. May I have your last name, please?” Voice on phone: “Watkins.”
Theo: “Your first name?” Voice on phone: “Glen.” Theo: “And your city and state?” Voice on phone: “Watkins Glen NY.” Narration bar: Yup this is real.
Theo is nonplussed.
Theo: “I’m guessing you like it there.” Voice on phone: “It’s home.”

Working in customer service of any kind has its drawbacks. Theo has a hundred tales like this one (but only one tail, in case you were wondering). A friend of mine working a roadside assistance phone bank has had people curse him in three languages… on the same call. At least it was educational. I still thank Berkeley Breathed’s Opus for, “You ugly wart on a salamander’s tongue!”

This strip was underwritten by Rhys, and we’re very grateful to him for his support.
