Nighttime Idea

A familiar late-night ritual, distilled to four perfect panels. Inspiration strikes just as sleep arrives—briefly illuminating the mind before vanishing entirely. Quiet, smart, and painfully relatable, this cartoon is a must-have for creatives, overthinkers, and anyone who’s ever lost a brilliant idea to the dark
