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!

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.
