Progress is a little app I built that looks up your date of birth and gender against some life expectancy charts and figures out where you sit on that dash that exists between two dates on a tombstone.
Yes, it’s scary, and yes a lot of the time we’ve lived has been outside of our control, but it should motivate us on a primal level to enjoy the time we do control for all we can. You know, in case we’re not immortal.

Want to read that comic I’ve been whining about all week? It’s here, all five pages!
The assignment was to adapt someone else’s text into a comic. I chose the song The Bullet by Devil Makes Three.

The Superman Problem
Say that, tomorrow, a Superman appears. He is largely as described in comic books: incredibly strong, able to move extremely fast, nearly tireless, able to fly freely, brilliant, nearly invincible, and a truly moral soul. And he is alone, having come from a now-gone alien world.
Arriving on Earth, Superman should be able to quickly discern that Earth is unlike his utopian home world. Here there is crime, poverty, disease, natural disaster, and more. Unlike in the comic books, Superman finds himself in a 24/7 position. There is no time of the day in which there are not lives that he could be saving, lives which would be lost should he opt to neglect them, whether it be for recreation or even for sleep.
Superman would then be in a position where he must decide how many lives that his recreation and own health are worth. If he’s been up for 40 hours, should he neglect the passengers of that downed plane in the middle of the Pacific to get some shuteye? If he’s not taken a moment’s break from his duties for years, should he neglect both of the two separate incidents where hostages have been taken so that he can have a friendly conversation with a romantic interest?
The main question: At what point, if any, would it be reasonable for a Superman who always had lives which needed saving to not save those lives in favor of his personal life?
At what point, if any, is a moment of Superman’s personal life more important than the entirety of a human’s life?
