[...] If you want to read last year’s stories — featuring my father as Antler King, as Sex Educator, as Cop Killah — go right ahead: “Eight Stories (And One More).” [...]

Actually, his many practical jokes on the Elder Karabin are worth retelling, I think.

Though some of them could not be shared… erm, publicly.

Thanks, Keith.

We miss big daddy Wendig around the Karabin house. His stories live on here, too. One day we’ll all feel something like what you feel. I don’t look forward to that day, but at least I know my Da will be in good company. Until your hides his bike in Heaven or pants’s him in front of Jesus. And then he’ll laugh, after getting a bit miffed.

My heart goes out, pal. Your words continue to do him honor.

“Warped Wendigmention Wordsmithing.”

That sounds like a business. I should get a sign made.

My Dad had a sign: “Wendig’s Guns & Ammo.”

Maybe I should get, “Wendig’s Verbs and Nouns.”

Sorry to hear about your father.

Respect.

I miss my dad every day, but he was awesome, too. You inspired me to reflect on him by writing this stories. It made my day better.

It was also nice to hear these great stories shaped with your Warped Wendigmention Wordsmithing. I have still not grown tired of reading all your crazy shit- and I mean shit in a good way.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Wendy and Will.

Interesting thing about that picture, and all the photos of my father: there exists an equal number of photos of Him Caring For Animals and Him Lording Over Their Fallen Bodies In Triumph.

It’s a complexity I can appreciate.

What a terrific bit of writing this is, Chuck. And I simply love that picture of your father.
