24-Hour Comic Day

Hey everyone! Are you ready for 24-Hour Comic Day? What is 24-Hour Comic Day, you ask? Well, just scroll down a little, this will explain all:

THE DARE:

To create a complete 24 page comic book in 24 continuous hours.

That means everything: Story, finished art, lettering, colors (if you want 'em), paste-up, everything! Once pen hits paper, the clock starts ticking. 24 hours later, the pen lifts off the paper, never to descend again. Even proofreading has to occur in the 24 hour period. [Computer-generated comics are fine of course, same principles apply]

A clarification: a true 24 hour comic is done by one person in 24 hours. The point of a 24 hour comics event is that each person is trying to complete a 24 page comic. Working side by side is a matter of mutual support, not mutual effort.

That being said, if you and some collaborators really want to work together in a marathon of comic creation, 24 Hour Comics Day seems a great day to do it!

No sketches, designs, plot summaries or any other kind of direct preparation can precede the 24 hour period. Indirect preparation such as assembling tools, reference materials, food, music etc. is fine.

Your pages can be any size, any material. Carve 'em in stone; print 'em with rubber stamps; draw 'em on your kitchen walls with a magic marker. Anything.

The 24 hours are continuous. You can take a nap if you like but the clock will continue to tick! If you get to 24 hours and you're not done, either end it there ("the Gaiman Variation") or keep going until you're done ("the Eastman Variation"). I consider both of these the Noble Failure Variants and true 24 hour comics in spirit; but you must sincerely intend to do the 24 pages in 24 hours at the outset.

24-Hour Comic Day will take place 12:00 PM tomorrow (Saturday) until 12:00 PM Sunday. If you take the challenge, post your comic here! (In a spoiler tag.) Everyone who participates will receive the very first Super Marathon Bros forum badge, the 24-Hour Comic Badge!

EDIT: 24-Hour Comic Day is over, but that doesn't mean you can't make a 24-Hour Comic. If you make one at anytime and post it here, you can still win the badge!

okay, I'll contribute, then.

EDIT: Nevermind, I can't.

Spoiler:

Upload that on Photobucket or Imageshack, then paste the link there.

I decided to take Katie Tiedrich's approach to the 24 hour comic.. except I can't draw nearly as well, so here's some stick figures!

Hours 1-3:

Hours 4-5:

Hours 6-8:

Hours 9-11:

Hours 12-14:

Hours 15-17:

Hours 18-24:

Hours 25-26:

And that's all of them! I had a lot of fun doing this, and I ended up going over 24 because I counted the hours before the challenge started. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Mine'll be up as soon as I can find time to scan it all...

Forgot to upload mine ;P.

Short Comic:

That's not a comic.

Awesome comic Max, awesome enough to be deserving of the badge you will make!

Oh sorry, the link was white like the spoiler background.

Badges rewarded. Check your profile for it.

I'm pretty late... But, whatever....

Those are the sleeping hours.

By the way, where is my badge?

I don't know, where is it?

Should be in your pocket, somewhere.
It's not on my profile, so, I can only assume you have it.

Nope, not there.
Only thing under there is a dead pro--
I mean... Dead... :affraid:
I mean!!! Not dead! Yeah! Whatever's under there is not dead. Nope.

Anyways, yeah.
Giving Jaco the 24 Hour Comic badge is probably better than breathing, you know.

fixed.

There is a badge? Where?

Right there. It is not located under my profile for some reason, and I was just inquiring why it wasn't?

Ooh found it. Happy bday Jaco!

Ok, scanner not working...

As a last ditch effort I am going to try to physically give the actual paper pages (with pencil lead on them) to jefferlope. we'll see if he can do anything with them...
