Here's the poop.
Mom: 40 years old, stay at home mom and freelance designer, mainly in the funnybook industry. Red-blooded liberal agnostic, uncommonly obsessed with Mormons. Crafty, yummy, and possessing great hair. Visited L.A. once 8 years ago whilst preggo with #1. Cub Scout Leader who fibbed a bit on the application where you need to believe in God. Tasked with most of the nitty-gritty of the move.
Dad: 41 years old, the main breadwinner. Fulfilling life's dream of working in the comic book industry. Art directs packaging and product for one of the Big Two, has been recently transferred to Los Angeles. Great designer, great dad, very understanding of wife's Mormon obsession. Has visited L.A. once, during 1996 for family wedding. Had to request vacation from then-boss, now-wife. Has turned the tables by giving freelance work to now-wife. Tasked with the burden of breadwinning job moving across country.
#1 son, 7 years old, happily ensconced in 2nd grade in wonderful elementary school. The only kid who kinda sorta understands the concept of moving. Luckily can be distracted by tales of Legoland.
#2 son, 5 years old. This isn't going to go over well. Crafty, sneaky, and doesn't deal well with change. Whoops.
#3 daughter, 3 years old. Has more friends than most cheerleaders, Again, this isn't going to go well.
Why will this move be difficult, other than the obvious? Well, 20 years in comics plus 20 years in comics means a lot of comps.
