TimO:
It's natural for the bodies "free wheeling" sense of a day to last longer than 24 hours. The body essentially resyncs to a daily schedule with the sunrise/sunset cycle, so the natural duration has to be longer than the physical one, otherwise you'd start feeling tired before sunset actually occurs.
People have actually tested this with rooms that remove any information about the day night cycle (ie no windows), and with no other way of knowing what the time is. People naturally sleep a few hours longer than 24, and their sense of time gradually slips out of phase with those outside the test area, who are staying with the 24 hour day.
Does Pintsize precede his interjection with "TLDR"? In context that probably makes sense, but the lettering is a little unclear, and I'm not sure I'd generally quite use it in that fashion.
snubnose:
Marten is shipped with Hanners and Claire ?!? :-o
Claire I can see ... remotely.
But Hanners ?!? Even without the OCD issue, I just cant see that pairing.
bhtooefr:
It's certainly been shipped, though. I guess it's potentially plausible that Hanners could fall for Marten if she got over her OCD, but I doubt it, and I think Marten wouldn't go along with it.

....I don not see that at all... like no ship bait any where in this comic.
DSL:
Potential here for a Hanners -vs. -Claire Deathmatch -- who will emerge as Marten's Insightful Friend?
We have two people of more-than-average insight, difference being Hanners is "interested" -- she's a close friend by now and wants things to work, but it takes berserk-button level of input to get her to say something (and then, well, put that shit away, son, because she's sick of it). Claire is the opposite -- seems to be equally insightful, but her social "disadvantage" (if you want to call it that) is that she's less inhibited about speaking her mind. At the moment, she's taken over Hanners' role as the Spock -- the insightful outsider.
