Coparenting in Captivity comic #48: "Couldn't you just… email it to me like a normal person?"

#48

"Couldn't you just… email it to me like a normal person?"

"I'm legally required to terrify you in person."

Admit it: process serving is pretty weird. 📄

In a world where we conduct entire relationships over text message, the formal ceremony of legal service feels increasingly surreal. Someone physically finds you, hands you papers, and then just… leaves. Legally served.

It's one of those moments where the ancient machinery of the legal system makes contact with everyday life in the most jarring way possible.

If you've been process-served in a grocery store parking lot, at a birthday party, or at your workplace — solidarity. There's no dignified way to receive paperwork from a stranger. 📬
