Hey look, it’s another Long-Distance Survival Guide! Not doing a month of these this time around, but I did want to do something special for Valentine’s Day.
As noted in the linked comic above, shipping costs are a pain if I were to send stuff from here. I’ve kept my Amazon Prime account active (partly also to get my Alpha House fix), and between that and Hy-Vee’s floral department, I do pretty good if I do say so myself. Only trouble is, Meagan can’t send me things back…
Hy-Vee Jake gets a special mention in the last panel. For one thing, we share the same name (surprise, my name isn’t actually Stretch). We’ve managed to coordinate things so that not only is he usually the one doing the delivery, but we even managed to have near-perfect timing between my texts/calls to Meagan and when he arrives. Not bad for being 10,000 km apart! Great guy.
Minor behind-the-scenes note: the first panel is of course copied from the original run of the LDSG. I did make two minor tweaks, though. I removed my glasses and added Meagan’s freckles that I apparently forgot last year…
