I am nearly overwhelmed with the joy your comics bring me. So relatable! The late night creativity, the ADHD, the dreaded out-of-sync with partner for staying up late, parasocial podcasts. And your evening with Molly sounds so friggin' lovely. I'm so happy for you Nate, you are so cool and I adore your comics!

Bahahaha i entirely relate to all of this- bedtime whomst?! Literally go to bed anywhere between 1-3am. Except i have a small child who has decided that 5am is peak playtime and demands i be awake. So my words tend to not make sense half the time because apparently brains need sleep to function, who knew??

Also is Moby Dick just historical queer fanfic??? Sign me up <3

You and Molly’s night is like my idea of the perfect romantic date . You are now officially the best couple ( lets be honest you two always were) and are my ultimate relationship goals.

Already in bed!

Sadly, with a two year old who doesn't want to sleep ever.

I wonder if I can persuade *him* to read Moby Dick

I feel your pain. Currently in the car with 3 year old who just passed out now. She refuses to have naps despite being so exhausted that she drunk walks around and slurs her words- only letting her sleep for 15 min because my good god it is nighttime hell when she sleeps after 230.

Totally relatable. Sometimes I just wanna stay up all night and all day and create stuff. But something happens and I always end up crashing.

The Moby Dick part made me so curious that I read the book to see how gay it really was, and… HOO BOY. 😂
