    Wait a moment, “schlepped” is an english word and it means the same like carrying? Because it’s from german word “schleppen”.

      In English, it’s usually used in a context where there’s some humor, frustration, or irony involved, like in the comic.

        Okay that sounds familiar. Germans use it the same way. Carry means “tragen” and nobody would use “schleppen” in a serious sentence.
