Transcript For Strip 1206

Panel 1
Bok 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.
