About this Comic

Sleep Deprivation Theatre, often abbreviated SDT, is a comic with no plot, no character development, no art, and no quality. I started it out of a desperate desire for something to do. I stopped it because I had something better to do. Then, I started it again because someone thought it was funny.

SDT updates on the rare occasion that Dan actually manages to think of something to draw. This will typically occur on Tuesday or Thursday. Share and enjoy!

If you think I'm hilarious, you might be interested in buying a book or a t-shirt. You might also consider an intensive course of psychiatric help.

About this Strip

If you don't get the joke, then you probably haven't seen this song from the Lion king. If you have seen that, and still don't get it, then that's because it's a weak joke.

I distinctly recall that when I was in elementary school, one could purchase a tiny cardboard container of milk from the cafeteria for a dollar. Yes, it was a horrendous unit price, but it didn't go bad because you drank it then and there. Surely these tiny milk cartons exist in some context besides minimum-security child prison, I just haven't been able to find someplace that sells them.

I've got two other things I want to mention today that have nothing to do with the comic above.

First off, I've got some fan art! Do you remember comic #0211 wherein I bemoan people's highway driving habits? Well, Dr. Brinkman, a professor of mine from college (@brinkmwj, derandomized.org) drew his own diagram as a response. Click to Enlarge. This is the first time I've gotten any fan art, and I have to say it filled me with glee. And not a crappy TV show that glamorizes the worst parts of high school, no: actual dictionary-definition glee. I may not have many readers, but I love you both in a totally non-creepy way.

On a sadder note, the guy who draws Calamities of Nature has announced that he's not going to draw anymore. I've long admired Calamities for being a politically charged comic that nonetheless manages to remain funny. I don't do politics in my strips, because I genuinely do not believe I could pull it off. Even though I don't agree with many of Calamities of Nature's political messages, it's hard not to respect someone who has the courage to include them and the skill to make them funny. The site is calamitiesofnature.com, and I encourage you to give it a read.

Script

1: Decide you want some milk in your coffee.

2: Buy a half-gallon of milk, since most grocery stores don't carry smaller quantities.

3: Most of the milk goes bad, often even before you've got it home.
Adam: OH COME ON!

4: Regardless of how well you rinse the carton, before long your recycle bin starts to reek.

5: If you return the carton to the fridge with its cap, you can delay the formation of smells.

6: Inevitably when the recycling guy comes, you'll have forgotten about it entirely.

Mike: Why are there fifteen empty milk bottles in the fridge?
Adam: The CIR-CLE of MILK!!!
