Too early

Jake Richmond

on April 20, 2015

-This strip doesn’t have much of a punchline, but this is something that actually happens to me a lot. I have a really irregular sleep schedule. I usually work at night and I’m often up until 7 or 8am, but sometimes I’ll get on a day schedule, and sometimes I’ll be on a weird 30 hour day/6 day week schedule. There’s been plenty of times where I’ll fall asleep for an hour, wake up thinking I’ve slept all night and go back to work only to crash hard a few hours later because I didn’t get enough sleep. Years ago when I was a Pokemon Gym Leader I would sometimes come home late after a super long shift and collapse in bed, only to wake up a half hour later thinking it was morning and time to go back to work. There were a few times where I made it as far as the bus (and once all the way to work) before I realized that it wasn’t actually super early in the morning before sun rise but still the same night.
– I’ll be at the Beaverton Library Mini Con on Free Comic Day Saturday May 2nd from 10am-1pm. I did this last year and it was a lot of fun. I’ll be giving away stickers and selling books. Come by and check it out!
– I’ll also be at TCAF in Toronto (Canada!) on May 9th and 10th. Find me in the kids section? I think? Anyway, if you live in Toronto please come see me. I’ve never been in that part of Canada before!
