So he wanted to have a little lie-down.  What's wrong with that?

P.S. You really didn't have to push yourself to do this when you're so sick, Amber!  Get that rest!

hmmm, laying in bed awake in a dark basement....QUICK! check the room for bad poetry, he could have *gasp* gone EMO!

i myself love sleep, and if i didnt have things like a wife, job, and 2 year old facehugger i would probably sleep around 12 hours a day. as it stands i usually get about 3-4 hours of sleep a day.

I'm sure lots of compliments help that sick bug.  Or...hurt it? o.o

Very funny.  I love the switching of panels from picture to black to picture.  You can just hear the "Waaaaait a minute..." in Dan's head there.

OK.  I think I'm getting over my irritation with Amber valuing her fans more than her life...

So onto rabid speculation!

First off, I love Abel's expression in panel 4.  There's just so much going right in that face.

Next, what if Dan takes Jyrras' advice, and tries to surprise Abel by doing something uncharacteristic, like maybe yanking him out by his headwings...

...just like Devin did.  I have a feeling that that sort of action would be the worst possible move that anyone could do to Abel, and would result in Abel bursting into a violent rage.  Which is why I suggested it.

On the subject of sleep, however, I seem to recall that `cubi don't need sleep because SAIA is full of emotions (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_540.php).  Outside of SAIA, they might need to sleep just as much as anyone else.

Of course, Abel does have a large number of drunken customers directly above him, and Dan's a one-man confusion machine, so I'm sure Abel doesn't need to sleep at SAIA.

Part of me is hoping that it's deliberate, and that Dan was trying to get the most dramatic impact.  Even that part of me knows that it's not true.

Personally, hey, Amber, if you can't get Abel's Story done, don't worry. Don't push yourself into doing whatever you don't want to or can't do. We all are hoping the best for your health.  :hug

Also, am I the only one who temporarily forgot the fact that Cubi can't sleep when I looked over the comic? I just thought Abel looked so cute and peaceful sleeping that the fact just evaporated... then abruptly returned by the time I looked at the next panel. D'oh. Silly Keaton, you can't make a Cubi character if you can't remember these things. :P

Erm...bishie. I don't use that word often...but it does describe Abel in the second panel well.

At least, very hugable looking. :hug

And because I forgot to mention it earlier, get well soon Amber, but don't push yourself. *over-teh-internets :hug*

Well, you can still sleep whenever you want.  You just don't *need* to sleep.  And furthermore, as suggested earlier, `cubi may still need to sleep when insufficient emotions are around.

Well, they don't have to sleep, but they don't have to eat either. Meanwhile, Fa'lina's unable to conquer her muffin addiction and Dan's been living on ale for quite some time. Be that as it may, this is Abel here. Always assume he's just taking another route to avoiding people.

I LOVE being sick with the vertigo and loosing my sense of balance! It's fun to suddenly lurtch to the side and feel like the room is tilting! I once took cold medicine that was past due and it felt like I was walking on the ceiling! I had to be sent home form work because I was giggling randomly.

This comic is a good one :p
Of all the things Dan remembers, it has to be something he uses... maybe he remembered it from an adventure or something or the other?

(PS. AMBER GET BETTER! I've had that before, Do NOT stand it makes you really really sick and dizzy and yeah... bad things happen.  The best thing to do is sleep it off... that is.. until the head aches set in.. then its hard to sleep, but that shows its gonna be gone soon! Hope you feel better)

while abel dresses like that its mostly because of fashion and hes a bit of a social outcast. to me he seems like the kind of guy who shops at hot topic and has some bats in the belfry, not the kind of guy who wears a lot of white makeup and repeatedly attempts suicide in wussy ways that he backs out of repeatedly. non EMOs can wear leather skirts and fishnets too, and its encouraged when they look good, but the moment the poetry shows up is the moment someone has to think of a humane alternative.

back in the day monks did a lot of fasting and it was a measure of how devout you were to see how long you could go without eating. up in bavaria some very clever monks invented a beer which was hearty enough to replace bread and thus were able to 'fast' for between one month to three month without any severe side effects. sure, they slurred their prayers occasionally, fell asleep often while meditating, and went nuts at the sight of any meat, but it was a real pride issue.

they still brew that beer today and many old fashioned breweries like Sprecher have it available for purchase. however i forget what the name of it is. caution is advised, you are essentially drinking a sandwitch with the alcohol content of two or three shots of whiskey.
