PAGE FORTY-THREE

PANEL ONE: MIKE mows the lawn wearing only diapers, plastic pants, t-shirt and sneakers. Kids are gathered around his lawn watching him, pointing and laughing.

NARR:
And with that, my life changed. First of all, Dad didn’t let me hide the fact that I wore diapers. He made me mow the lawn wearing them publicly! The neighborhood kids all made fun of me for it.

PANEL TWO: MRS. ALLARD, an older lady who looks smug and disapproving like a grandma who is used to having authority, nods with approval at MIKE’s predicament as she stands on her side of a white picket fence separating their yards.

NARR:
Mrs. Allard, the lady next door, even commented.

MRS. ALLARD:
My boy Tom was a bedwetter too, and I kept him in diapers until he moved out on his own!

MRS. ALLARD 2:
Your father has the right idea!

PANEL THREE: MIKE wakes up in sopping wet diapers, shocked! Lucas peeks in from the side, pointing and laughing.

NARR:
My confidence was so shot I even wet the bed for real, waking up soaked the next morning!

PANEL FOUR: MIKEY is dressed for school, with big sweat pants stretched tight over his massive diaper bulge, crinkling loudly as he walks toward the school nurse’s office. Naturally, everyone in the halls is staring at his diaper.

NARR:
Of course, I was most worried about school. But Dad made me wear babyish sweat pants over my diapers and made me go see the school nurse…

PANEL FIVE: MIKEY stands nervously while the NURSE writes on a school form the words “BEDWETTER” and “NEEDS DAYTIME DIAPERS”

NARR:
…and I had to hand her a note that confirmed I needed diapers– and she wrote it on my permanent record!

PANEL SIX: Back at the gaming table, MIKEY finishes telling the story we’ve just read.

NARR:
I knew Craig was in diapers already, but I couldn’t wait until the weekend to tell the guys that I was, too.

MIKE:
…and that’s my story!
