Hello, yes you three who read this. So there’s this thing called “24 hour comic day” which is a day usually in october (in this instance tomorrow) wherein cartoonists around the country all go somewhere where there are other cartoonists and try and write, thumbnail, sketch, ink, letter and create in its entirety, a 24 page long form comic in 24 hours. So last year i missed out on it and told myself that this year I would do it. Then i realized on monday that it was this weekend. I haven’t been able to find any 24 hour comic day events in portland which strikes me as super odd but ohwell so it looks like i’m going to be doing 24 hour comics day from right here in my dorm room all by myself!!! wooooo par freaking tay. Anyway we’ll see if i crash and burn (likely) or just get distracted but hopefully I’ll be able to pull through and get some kind of finished product out of this. The smart thing to do would be of course to use this period of extreme stress etc to get some buffer strips done. but nuuuu I decided that I’m going to do a long form comic. So not only that but I’m also going to have to draw a strip for monday because you bet your sweet potatoes that i’m not going to be doing one sunday night. So the event goes from noon saturday october 3rd to noon sunday october 4th. If anyone want’s to skype me to talk while i draw or whatever that would be super cool just call my phone or hit me up on IM. I’m thinking about trying to do a video stream of this except that i’m pretty sure no one would show up. Hey if you would show up to a video stream throw a “PANCAKES!” into the comments but you better show up cause there’s only like three of you. So anyway, that’s the event, there’s me, I’m doing it I think. See you all tomorrow. AAAAALLLLL Of tomorrow.

Your punchline was truly moving even if your character was not.

Were you talking about the 24 hour comic or did you mean to comment on the most recent strip? Thanks anyway I guess? There wasn’t really a punchline to the 24 hour comic. As for the strip characters yeah at this point they are basically pun vehicles. Perhaps they subscribe to vague and scribbled archetypes but their holdings to a psychological form are tenuous at best.
