Father Figure

The Common Man Chronicles: Father’s Day Special – “Father Figure” trades high-stakes espionage for a quiet morning in the park — and a very unexpected glimpse into the softer side of The Common Man.

He didn’t ask for a sidekick. He definitely didn’t ask for a kid. But Boogie Monster, wide-eyed and full of misguided admiration, is doing everything he can to become one. From the too-small fedora to the crooked mustache drawn in permanent marker, Boogie’s impersonation is… committed. And confusing.

Over coffee and crossed legs — one graceful, one awkwardly slipping off the bench — The Common Man watches his shaggy shadow with a sigh. This isn’t what fatherhood usually looks like. But it’s close enough.

This week, we salute all the men who lead by example, show up without being asked, and teach by just being themselves — whether they know it or not.

Next week, the Buzz-Free escape has just begun. Episode 9 picks up the chase... and the consequences. Stay tuned.
