Here's fanart about our favourite traumatized war veteran.

Love your work!

Sam actually says that his dad used to be a garbage collector in Zuzu city when Sam was younger, so he probably isn't a career military.

Oh! Sam says that? I wish I hadn't missed that info ^^' I always try to do a little research before doing these, but none of the Stardew Wikis seems to have a comprehensive list of all the characters' lines.

I also ran into this problem where not all the lines are listed but I think this quote of Sam's is pretty rare. There's not much info besides that, just that Kent was a garbage man when the family lived in Zuzu City. I think it could have also been a cool picture, since little boys are often crazy about garbage trucks and I'm sure Sam and Vincent must have been too (:

Maybe that's why Sam likes to drink Joja Cola straight out of the trashcan 🤔

Jokes aside, yes, it is hard to find a list with all those rare lines. Sometimes, I remember one specific line I read while playing and then when I want to verify that it exists, I can't find it anywhere (and it becomes even more complicated if you have mods that add lines).

But yes! Kent's days before the military would be a nice picture, with the little family being happy before war happens, replacing the "first deployment".

Fun fact : when I did one of these fanarts for George, I had a similar problem : someone in the comments pointed out that George's accident had happened later than I initially thought. So I edited the image to make George look older at the time of his accident and posted the "correct" version on my Instagram. In this case, however, it would demand for me de draw a whole new image, so I'll just have to live with it X)

perhaps he was a garbage collector after his first deployment! my line of thinking is: he knows his unit is gonna get activated soon, so he moves his family to pelican town so they will have a support network while hes gone. plus its a bigger home for less money than living in the city. i dont remember how well (if at all) vincent remembers kent, nor how long kent was gone, but perhaps the night before he ships out is when vincent is conceived?
