        No all people have same tolerance to sleep-deprivation. My partner for one can’t function properly with less than 6 hours sleep, even in a sole occurrence. She is younger than I am, (I’m just a bit younger than Willis himself), I can still pull all-nighter from time to time, even if I tend to avoid to do it, because, you know… kids… they won’t let you get some sleep back when you need it… and it takes ONE WHOLE YEAR to overcome the effects of one all-nighter on your body… so…

          It’s true. I haven’t been able to function on less than 6 hours of sleep ever, I just was much more likely to try and do it anyway when I was 18. But I’m a fucking mess every time I try. God dang. I’m on 4 hours rn and I need to go back to sleep there is no reason for me to be awake but the sun is out and there is no god.

          I averaged one all-nighter per term at university. Ended up in a similar state to Danny here each time. Which is how I didn’t notice what Word had kindly done to my essay on the composer Luciano Berio: converted his surname to “Beri-beri” throughout.

      It seems that Ethan has kept one key characteristic from the Walkyverse – He’s a nice guy who people trust and rightly take on as a best friend. However, beyond that? Somehow they can never plausibly see themselves doing that (except the ones Ethan doesn’t want going further, c.f. Joyce and Walkyverse!Robin).

            three. that way they can each take eight hour shifts. 8 hours sleep, 8 hours actively watching you, 8 hours of being awake and nearby, in case it takes TWO people to wrestle your sleep-addled body away from the door because you want to dance in the street nude in the middle of winter.

            Yes. This is from experience.

        My record was 58 hours. It was actually pretty enjoyable for the most part. Towards the end of it my eyes stopped really feeling like they were working as eyes, though, so I was like, okay, time to sleep. At the 52nd hour I just felt really connected to things and started crying slightly with joy at how much I loved trees? And I described this experience to a professor of mine, and she was like, “Or you could just do drugs.”

        Only 72 hours straight for me, but one week working at the newspaper I managed only seven hours of sleep total. Since I was already pretty unhinged before this, once my boss found out she gave me the next three days off.

        Longest I’ve gone is about 52 hours, moving an office and half a server room to prep for renovations. (Taking a sledgehammer to a few carefully chosen desks at the end was cathartic, and enough of an adrenaline bump to get the car home!) It was a blur of coffee and Diet Mountain Dew.

      Freshman year. I had an intro to set design class that was half art and half theatre lit. It was taught by the kindest and most twinkly-eyed elf of a professor who, in addition to the more obvious set design sketches for whatever play we were reading, required us to complete a graphic project each week.
      These would not be discussed in class. In fact, these would not actually be required until the end of the semester. But there was at least one per week, and their completion WAS required “before you go home for the summer”.

      Yeah. Methinks in hindsight he may have been a little more mischievous, because I didn’t do a single one of these projects for the entire semester. Until the end, in that weird week where my finals were done but no one left campus. Where I armed myself with caffeine for the first time.

      I awoke at around 10am on Sunday morning. I gathered my paints, brushes, sketchbook, and assignment list. How hard could be?

      I was awake straight through until I turned them in at 8:30 am that Thursday morning. No-Doze, Mountain Dew, and even cofgee (i cant stand coffee) coupled with bouts of slapping my face at regular intervals had pushed me through. I stumbled to breakfast at the dining center around 730 after I finally finished. I looked like Steve Martin at the end of The Jerk, minus the salt and pepper hair and thermos. I remember eating a banana, a bowl of oatmeal, a cup of cottage cheese, and a carton of milk. My friend Jess, who was on the crew team and thus used to being there that early, excitedly came over to say hello. I don’t recall what I said, if anything, or what I smelled like. But I remember her rising and wishing me good luck with a mix of distaste and concern.

      I went back to my room and finally slept after nearly 95 straight hours awake. I would have loved to get those projects back and see how badly they turned out, but I never did.

      I feel like if they do get together, which might be a while from now, they might wait a while to have sex? I don’t know, I just get that sense from them. Danny is so new to realizing he likes guys, and Ethan hasn’t been with anyone before… and I know things went kind of fast with Danny and Amber, but he was with Dorothy for a long time before they had sex. Of course, that was high school, so it’s a bit different.

      I think it would be nice to see a major couple in the comic that waits a while to have sex. With these two, it would be pushing back on the idea that mlm are just looking to jump into bed with someone, those “the average homosexual has over 100 sexual partners” homophobic scare tactics. At the same time, it could be like, okay, but why don’t these two men get a Slipshine like everyone else?

      Basically I don’t know.

        Becky and Dina are already waiting. Danny and Ethan aren’t going to just jump into each other’s pants from the word go but they both want sex. It’s ridiculous to expect them to wait out of some hypothetical offending behaviour.

          I somehow managed to forget about Becky and Dina, my favorite couple.
          Anyway, I didn’t say I would expect them to wait just because of the stereotype, just that it would be a perspective to take on these two fictional characters’ actions regarding sex.

    When I was in college, I worked as “night security” (really obnoxious air quotes there) in freshman dorms. Basically, my job was to be upright and conscious at the front desk in case someone tried to sneak in late. (freshman had a curfew at my university.)

    For SOME REASON I thought, yeah, it would be a GREAT idea to sign up for 9pm-9am shifts on Saturday and Sunday mornings for three years in a row. I made hella money (well, I made 7 dollars an hour when minimum wage was 5.15) and I got all my homework done, plus tons of video game time, because again: upright, conscious, literally my only two job requirements.

    One time, I picked up an extra shift to cover for someone and ended up being at something like 4 hours of sleep for the entire weekend. When my relief came in Sunday morning, I distinctly remember trying to say “good morning”, but something completely gibberish coming out of my mouth. We both looked concerned. I tried again, and again: gibberish.

    I’ve never really tried to push my staying-awake limits since then, even though I’m working nights again at a big boy job. It was pretty scary being unable to form coherent words.

      Oh man I’ve been there, overnight shift at McDonald’s 11 till 7 was doing five nights a week at one point. Can’t really remember too much from that time lack of sleep does that aparently but I can assemble a big mac from muscle memory to this day. The pay was crazy though, it was like a $17 an hour in USD plus penalty rates between 1 AM and 5 AM, then the Sunday bonus. But I could never go back to that job, wasn’t worth it. I was either working or sleeping.

    As a college freshman that pulls one all-nighter almost every week (and two in this one!), I know the feeling. You go to college at 8 AM feeling great and telling yourself that you’re not going to sleep in class, then that 10AM class with the half-lit room and the monotonous teacher comes and proves the contrary.
    Never stayed up more than 48 hours yet, though. Most of my sleep deprivation is out of dumb, not necessity.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action

Check out those stickers. They make him look pretty great, actually. That aircraft carrier mode shines. Tidal Wave is loose and incomplete! So there's only four (4) jets!

confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies

It's #webcomicday? We have a special day??? Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.
