This Is It

You know that feeling when you're desperately trying to block out the sun with those flimsy curtains, feeling completely defeated by daylight? Then suddenly a total solar eclipse rolls through and you're living your best vampire life for exactly 2-4 minutes? Pure bliss. But then reality kicks back in and you're right back to squinting at the sun like some kind of photosynthetic organism that forgot how to photosynthesize.

The final panel is the real mood though—just fully committing to the darkness by building a blanket fort of despair. When the moon won't cooperate with your light-blocking needs, you gotta take matters into your own hands. Scientists who work night shifts in observatories probably feel this on a spiritual level.

Fun fact: Total solar eclipses only happen because the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun but also 400 times closer to Earth, making them appear almost exactly the same size in our sky. It's the universe's most perfect cosmic coincidence, and apparently the only time some of us can get decent sleep.
