It's unnerving thinking about what real life anecdote inspired Dustin's narcolepsy. A sick millennial or one who's so overworked regular sleep isn't an option? Either way just assuming the cause is laziness is crass to say the least.

Maybe obstructive sleep apnea. Serious medical issue instead of "oh he's a lazy millennial"

In the Funkyverse, you have to EARN the sweet release of death. You can only embrace oblivion after you've accumulated enough sadness and misery and pain and hopelessness.

Welcome Back, Galaxy Geek.

So Josh Fruhlinger, aka The Comics Curmudgeon, has started reading Dustin as part of his new year's resolution to look at different strips. here is his take on this strip:

The Comics Curmudgeon posted:

It may not have been obvious from the Dustins I’ve showcased here but the gimmick of Dustin is that Dustin is a 23-year-old college graduate who has moved back in with his parents and is having Failure To Launch problems. As a Gen-Xer, I am a neutral party in the raging war between Baby Boomers and Millennials, and I hereby declare that Dustin is really lovely in its treatment of young people! Like surely there is humor to be mined from this conflict of worldviews but instead we get things like today, “Ha ha, youths can’t hold down a job because they just spontaneously fall asleep all the time! Meanwhile, the ADULTS who MADE THIS COUNTRY WHAT IT IS TODAY are going to enjoy some LEGITIMATE HIGHBROW CULTURE.”

It's funny because big box stores love to fire the newest employee because it's easiest to show how much money you saved by pointing at a paycheck you no longer have to make.

Batiuk's stuff about the comics industry drives me nuts, because it's so cargo-cult-y. He seems to love the Golden Age, but not in any way that's actually identifiable by someone familiar with the actual comics from that era. He just...apes art styles and creates characters who wouldn't be able to fill a four-panel one-off parody comic.
