Yes, life's issues isn't wrapped up in 6 issues.
And if you'll notice, many thing sthat happen in real life don't happen in any sort of media, because it's TEDIOUS AND BORING.
In 99% of movies/tv/comics/etc, no one uses filler like "Um" "Like" "you know", they don't ramble, they don't repeat themselves or repeat anecdotes (like telling the same joke to everyone you meet at the party) unless that's very specific to that character or getting across something specific (He's shy! He's retarded! He has bad verbal skills!). This stuff would make dialog extra tedious.
Instead what you get is dialog that's concise, that's not choppy, that works. Because it's meant to entertain, not simulate realism.
Again, people never go to the bathroom unless 1) Something is supposed to happen in the bathroom or 2) It's some weird kinky shit. Because that's not relevant to the plot, and it can be easily handwaved.
When you use any sort of media to tell any sort of story, you have to take certain conventions, short cuts, and assumptions into account to be concise and use the time you have. Very few things that happen in any media are random, and have no plot relevance whatsoever, and won't get referenced again, for instance, but that's a big part of daily life. Wasting the Audience's time is a Sin.
Of course, Naylor is FAILING to do this. He is making it a big, long boring SLOG that has no continuity. It's a stream of consciousness. That's BAD for a web comic that only is out twice a week.
