I did two hour sessions, 5-10 minute break in the middle, with a series of 5 minute poses, 10, then 30. It can be pretty difficult actually – holding perfectly still take a lot of tension, especially in odd poses.
Our croquis studies usually take around four hours at a time (with 5-10 min breaks for the model). There’s anywhere between 10 seconds to 10 minutes per pose (most often 30 seconds to 2 minutes).
Even just a few minutes in one pose is hard on the model; for longer poses, they usually lie down or sit.
This was back in the day when area codes were optional, because how would there ever be more than a few million phones in one area [ex: Blade Runner, even]. On top of that, on-campus numbers–at our college–just needed the last four digits, like dialing room-to-room at a hotel.
So I could see Joe writing 4 digits on his unit, which is what I thought he’d done at the time. I mean, he’d have to be stupid flexible to be able to see his ass to write legibly.
I’d also like to add that cell phones were fairly uncommon except for upper-class families, and VoIP was basically nonexistent, so there was no real chance that someone had an area code different from the region where they were living.

$15/hour? How long does a life model have to stand there and do nothing?
an hour?
I feel like this should be more awkward. He just walked in on his roommate looking at nude drawings of him.
You do know that they take….multiple poses most times. a few 10 minuts. Some 30 minutes, THEN the hour long poses.

Some 2-3 minute poses, some 10-minute, then 30-min to half-hour.
At the start of class, they had us all do poses to get an idea of what the model has to do. IT IS HARDER THAN YOU WOULD THINK
[no not that way, since I don’t have that equipment, but maybe in Joe’s case]

Is Danny looking at nude sketches of Joe?
I feel like if he wrote his phone number on his dick, Danny would have less to laugh about.
was there room for the area code is the question
gross, self, gross

‘…taint.’
They had him do some really advanced poses.
Haha, naked people.
Back in the day I read it as “dick”. I guess looking back “ass” would have made a little more sense.
If he can see his ass to write on it, props to Joe.
Though points off for thinking Mary is cute. Even if accidentally thinking it via preconceptualizing.
20th-Century David couldn’t write “ass,” but he couldn’t even write “butt?”
His Balls. They Say # and 1 respectively and point up to his dick.
After reading all the other comments, this one made me lose it.
Joe really just didn’t notice that guy sitting next to Mary, did he?
I am embarrassed that Joe got paid more per hour in the 90s than I did 2 years ago for the same job at a college in upstate NY
Not everyone looks as handsome as Joe does. Maybe that allows him to ask for higher-than-average payment.
Wait, is that Mary’s sketchbook? I thought she still had it and was on her way to show it to Sarah.
That’s his 1990’s-era cell phone. Mary just sent him a Morse text.
Somehow I think he would have heard all about this from Mary anyway.
