Hello Febuwaries!
February 1st is Hourly Comic Day - an annual day-long event where cartoonists and illustrators draw a comic for every hour that they are awake. It was started by John Campbell in 2006 and mostly people document what they are doing on that day, although your comics could be about anything really. Every year I’ve meant to take part, and then failed to realise what day it is until halfway through February 1st. But I managed it this year, and loved making them and posting them on Instagram, and reading all the others I could find. Here are mine…
The link to Tim Urban’s very funny article on procrastination is here.
It was great to get into the improvisational, quick-drawing comics mode again. But I sure didn’t get anything else done yesterday, so it’s no doubt a good thing Hourly Comic Day only comes once a year!
ps. I’m still working on the most legible way to post comics to Substack - if anyone has views about whether it’s easier reading them panel by panel, as with the first group here, or if multiple panels together is fine, I’d be grateful to hear!
I love seeing everyone’s comics, maybe next year I’ll participate too 🤞🏻
Reading on my phone, the individual panels are easier but it’s still readable as multi panels
I love it. I love all of them, everybodys comics. I find them (trying to not say this in a creepy voice) INTIMATE oh god CAPS make it creepy eh... no you know what I mean... it also makes me want to shout at people LOOK COMICS ARE IMPORTANT AND SPECIAL which again I don't think I'm winning this argument eh.
OH MAN just GOOD. V GOOD.
