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!

Perhaps someday she'll learn frail bodies+ endless hours of work= unhealth.
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.
QuoteAnd, lo, he did say to shut thine pie hole ere I get bronze age on thy backside
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.

When he's laughing and smiling at pink books?
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.
-hugs the cute abel, and then hugs the sick Amborg- Go sleep like Abel is trying to fake doing.
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.
Darn it Amber, you gave it to me too :<
No wait, that was my brother...
*sneezes about 8 times in a row* Bleeeh...
I have it too. :< Friggin' stuffy noses n' dizziness.
No fun being sick and Dan is knowning something as well

Do you have diseases in Australia? I thought all you had was poisons from those bleedin' animals.
Hooray!!! Update. now if only we knew what horrors lie within Abel we'd be set.
Some Humans live off of Ale too! :3

The animal kingdom has no shortages of ways to kill us. I say we start killing back.
Steve Irwin's ghost will haunt you if you do that :mwaha :cry
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)

That's one of the reasons I don't like the idea of an update every single day, it's not good for her. :P

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.
QuoteMy formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.
*Charles notes* Amber should get all the rest she needs. I don't mind staying in bed when I'm sick, because then I get to snuggle my big cuddly lion plushie! Soft and furry and oh-so-warm! *sigh* Then I can imagine I have a REAL lion who's my best friend in the whole world and I can live in his happy leonine kingdom of furry friends with flowers and rainbows everywhere... *sees all the people staring* :blush *runs away!*
*Charline erfs* How did I get stuck with such a loser for a creator. :sweatdrop
*Alondro nods* And least your not the one he's fantasizing about. *ack* Not that my place has rainbows and flowers! :shifty Everyone look at Dan and Abel! Nothing to see here...
Well, Dan and Jyrras didn't see Destania's little game of thermonuclear war, so either it's something infinitely more subtle, or I was taking the line "half the world will sleep through it" too literally :P
Ohh, cleverrrr! Abel, knowing that Dan remembered very little about Cubi because he doesn't want to learn about them, and now he doesn't want to talk to him, so he acted like he was asleep, figuring Dan wouldn't remember that Cubi don't need it. But he was foiled!

Or maybe it wasn't to happen immediately?
I don't want to worry you, but my English proffesor caught something simmilar and had an alergic reaction to the antibiotics...
*looks at comic* I think Abel might have gotten so shook up by the spider that recited old poetry, that he decided to lay down and relax before he goes into shock...that's at least what i think.

What, no barley wine? I know of nothing heavier in the world of beer...
Still, nothing like a good long fast to get one's blood cholesterol down...
i think we might need to force Amber to rest...
anyone up to donating blood?
*raises hand*
And I happen to be O with a (nearly hyper) active immune system. And I'm updated on all my shots!
Now if only there was a way to smuggle me to....Where is she again?....Whats a Canada?.....Wait, some one lives there? I thought it was all tundra! Well, now I'll need to update my personal map...*grumbles*
I'm a B+ ANd ready to invade those canadians there.
