I've mostly finished packing for my Doodle Adventures trip to outer space with Carl the grumpy duck. I tried to think practically and take my interests and hobbies into account.
Sunglasses and sunblock for flying into the sun. Fox for snuggles. Binoculars and a magnifying glass for investigating interplanetary matter (no telescopes needed, thankyouverymuch). And I mean, my favorite things to do are uke, write letters, sip hot tea, read, and be at waters-edge. SO. I figured I'd need something for my downtime when not hunting space-slugs. (There WILL be downtime, right Carl?? Hmm... that glare he's giving me is not looking very promising.)
Carl only suggested packing regular socks which is RIDICULOUS because everyone knows toe socks are superior. Also, one never knows when one might need a banana. In case we find a planet with habitable water, I will definitely need a pool float for lounging about. Although, let's be honest, I know the likelihood of that will be slim and I mostly just packed it (fully aired up) to irritate the heck out of Carl. I can't wait to see him fly off the handle about that! And also about the weighty books and the open container of hot liquid. Heh, heh, heh.
This book is the best. Check out mikelowery.com for this book and more of his awesome and humorous artwork.
