The Conch, Volume IX: The Wide Awake Version

Here you can see Dave in his typical Conch position, one he usually uses for napping. In this case, Dave is awake. He probably was startled during a nap, and decided not to exert energy to change his position. Dave doesn't like to waste his energy on things that don't need it. More than likely, Dave will return to his nap shortly, so it doesn't even make sense to move around.
