12:00am

comic panel captioned 12am: angry about dimitri (fire emblem). i'm in bed with the covers pulled all the way up to my nose making a massive stink face. above my head is a thought balloon with a knife emoji. my fiancee is in bed next to me on her 3ds, looking like a cherub and saying “yay hooray! a little puzzle!” a caption pointing to her 3ds clarifies that she is playing “one of them zero escapes.”

1:00am

four panels captioned 1am: having a nice moment. panel 1: my fiancee and i are in bed having a snuggle. panel 2: exact same as panel 1, but my fiancee is making a loud “PSHHHH” noise directly into my ear! panel 3: i've absconded out of my fiancee's grasp and she's fallen into a flat giggling heap on the bed, laughing “hehehehehe” while i hold my ear and frown immensely. “bruh!” i say! “right in my EAR!” i say! “what was that for?” panel 4: my fiancee, still facedown on the bed, murmurs “piplup forgives his father...” overlaid and nearly transparent is a grayscale version of @asterkallium's piplup artwork, featuring piplup the pokemon at the grave of someone named smith. piplup is holding flowers and looks forlorn. a caption at the bottom states it's from asterkallium.tumblr.com, which you should check out

the piplup series (opens in new tab) by @asterkallium (opens in new tab) has had a stranglehold on sarah recently.
the artist was so kind as to honor me by including us in their hourly comics (opens in new tab) as well!

2:00am

comic panel captioned 2am: cat barf. i'm on my hands and knees with a towel and a spray bottle, in my undershirt and boxers, head raised to the heavens as i squint my eyes shut, disgusted and tired as i spray the floor with a “spurt spurt” noise from the spray bottle. “our god is a loathing god,” i announce to no one

3:00am - 5:00am

comic panel captioned 3am - 5am: sandwich insomnia. i'm in bed between my fiancee and my dog, cramped on my side in a skinny line with my dog pressed against my front and my fiancee against my back. mostly you can just see my hair, part of an art, and one wide-open, exhausted eye. my dog, a labrador-heeler mix, is stretched out long and upside-down (butthole on my pillow of course) with her belly in the air, dreaming away. my fiancee's back is against me and she's also sleeping comfortably. there's an arrow showing the Massive amount of open bed space my fiancee or dog could be sleeping in, but another arrow (showing my ~8inches of bed real estate) simply states “and yet”...

9:00am

comic panel captioned 9am: nald looks bad. nald (aka bonny) is my tabby cat and she looks atrocious. captions point to her various awful features: her dead eyes, how she looks like she has smoked for forty years, that she is “shaped? incorrectly,” and that her tail is wrapped under her arm. there's a series of question marks pointing toward her belly, which appears to take up an Immense proportion of her body in this picture. she's a cute cat but it was a bad look and a bad photo. a caption hints that you should look at bonnysucks.com, which is nald's website.

show nald some love and check out her website (opens in new tab)

10:00am

comic panel captioned 10am: cuntwrap spreem. i'm holding the paper bag for a breakfast crunchwrap supreme from taco bell (bacon version minus the bacon, in case you were curious) and making a very mischievous face as i grin at it and say “TABACO”

11:00am

comic panel captioned 11am: hoo hoo. pictured is my dog oakley, a labrador/heeler mix. she has black fur with little silver/blue tips on her chin and chest. here her eyes are red and demonic, and she's staring directly at the viewer (ergo, me) looking Very disappointed and laser-focused

12:00pm - 4:00pm

comic panel captioned 12pm - 4pm: doing important work. i'm at my laptop saying “la la la“ as i type and tiptap on the keyboard. on my laptop screen is the website iloveelfs.com, which i just made and am working on. the website says “!! I LOVE ELFS !!” as the main heading and “UNDER CONSTUCTION” as the secondary heading, with a picture of an elf construction worker holding a shovel. the construction worker is sneering and says “Watch it bub Im Diggin!!” tiled on the background of the website is text that says “i love elfs” with little hearts

5:00pm

comic panel captioned 5pm: hangin with the hogs. the comic shows me lookin out on my backyard where my dog oakley, a labrador/heeler mix, and my roommate's dog kissy, a samoyed, are running around yapping. oakley is saying “There was a raccoon somewhere once” while Kissy is saying “Im barking too”. in the inset panel, i'm making a contemplative face. the caption reads “thinkin about her” and my thought bubble reads “harrowhark nonagesimus... hmm...”

6:00pm

comic panel captioned 6pm: hubert tv (fe3h azure moon lp). i'm watching tv, where hubert from fire emblem is laid out flat on the floor saying “lady edelgard... im died.” i'm commenting “hubert... how this happen...” the inset panel is captioned “alert! burger clock o'clock”. burger the cat, a small tuxedo, is standing on top of a grandfather clock, bent over backwards with her paws on the ceiling, stretching out long with her head almost completely upside down

comic panel captioned 7pm: edelgard is here. a couple of people (me and my roommates; not shown) are watching tv, where hegemon edelgard from fire emblem three houses is saying “i'm yucky now”. we are cheering: “WOOHOOOOOOOO” “LADY BIG!” “YEAH”

9:00pm

comic panel captioned 9pm: oakley wanted me to inform you that no one loves her. pictured is my dog oakley, a labrador/heeler mix, in an oval-shaped dog bed. her head is falling out of it and sprawling on the floor, making her ears flop everywhere. she's turned away, but still looks decidedly morose.

10:00pm

comic panel captioned 10pm: we should not have given him the remote. pictured is my roommate frank, a fella with short scruffy hair, glasses, a bit of facial hair, and a big, friendly smile, holding up a tv remote. he's announcing, “it's frankie friday.” his dog kissy, a samoyed, is sitting in front of the tv, watching a video of horses and saying “woo woo”. the tv is captioned “horse videos [for kissy(?)]” and the terrible ai-generated video voice is saying “bro thinks he's messy with those hooves”

11:00pm

comic panel captioned 11pm: i've had two scotches. pictured is me looking Way too smiley, holding up two fingers. the linework is glitchy-looking and faded, as i am. in big vaporwave colors and a fancy cursive font are the words “Good Night!”
