    Number of full days of vacation, no work, I have taken in the past 33 years. 5 or so.

    :doubt:

    This dude is on that CEO time accounting system where if you even mentally engage with a work problem at any point you count the entire day as worked. Dude's been a full time cartoonist for 26 of those 33 years lol.

      I'll sometimes lose sleep when I'm stuck on a work problem, but I imagine if I billed my company for that I'd get disciplined instantly.

        This is true, but also you should be allowed to bill for that. On a similar note, I should be able to clock in the moment my alarm wakes me up and only clock out when my feet stop hurting the next day. But I'll accept the compromise of clocking out when I'm home and undressed :meow-shining:

      Most cartoonists pound out a few weeks of strips in a couple days at least, unless it's a really topical strip.

        Jim Davis creates centuries worth of Garfield, probably in a few days. He would be in very poor health if it was that intensive. And Garfield has way more effort put into it than dilbut 1990-today.
