I hate that comic. Equivocation is a fallacy. Your alarm clock is proof that you don't lose experiential consciousness when you sleep.

What comic and no it doesn't. And reading through your exchange with the other guy it's clear we have very different ideas about the nature of self-identity. I don't think of my body as necessary for "me" to exist, I am my thoughts and memory rather than my neurons and chemistry. If that information can be copied and transmitted then there will be a "me" that continues from a new location.

There will be a you, but it's not the same you. If you read my exchange with the other guy, then what are your thoughts on the "shot in the head" topic? Would you be okay with this you being killed in a very real and visceral way, as long as a you would be reconstructed elsewhere?
