Example: your story can be this short
“Dad Steve barbecues in any weather, knows every DIY shop for miles around and has been telling the same lawnmower joke for 20 years. From the kids, funny. The ending: ‘The best dad – even if the joke never gets any better.’”
A story like this is all we need – we take care of the rest: script, drawings, voices and music.
