    I sometimes wonder if narrative fiction would survive if we all acknowledged that bopping someone on the head so they pass out and then wake up completely fine a little later is not a thing.

        How many movies and comics wouldn't work if this didn't exist? I feel like at least half of the one's I've written have this in it.

        Raymond Chandler definitely wouldn’t! I’m shocked that Philip Marlowe never developed brain damage

        This + (a) there aren't that many people willing to be henchmen and (b) sleep choking/knockouts/neck snaps are A LOT harder to achieve IRL.

        My character's choked a few people, but only because I always found when sparring that wrapping something around my opponent's neck was about the only way to get them to tap out. (I am not good at sparring.)

        Hey, at least grant that we’ve evolved enough to add 2 seconds of blurred vision, an anguished “ughhh,” and rubbing the back of the head while standing to this formula in recent decades...
