Sometimes I answer this question somewhat honestly, much to people’s horror. I try to leave it at “I got of bed”, which still seems to disturb them…
My favorite is “still kickin”. The Norwegians sometimes say “awake and not crying”.
My favorite response is “standard”
I think it’s a cultural thing
I am operating within acceptable parameters.

Quoth the birb, “Not bad!”
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as “Never again”. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
For tomorrow, we arm for our own type of war.
– modified heavily from obvious; also TIL that “nevermore” can also be interpreted as “never again”
I usually just respond with “I’m OK, how are you?” or “hanging in there.” I know who to be honest with.
“ight”
Not s’bad, and you?
I say “miserable” and just get a chuckle in response and sometimes “same”… I ain’t playing over here Marilou and your bullshit ain’t helping either!
I miss Trash Bird but I love that he recreates the vibe in his normal strip
“Good enough” is my go-to.
