Hourly Comic Day

Let's You & I do an Hourly Comic Day whynot

Let's say ... tomorrow? Any day? One of any days you are alive.

You draw 3-panel (or so ... however many you want I guess) comics of things that happen to you at certain times of the day.

Post them here or in the rec room or wherever you like I guess.

You don't have to be good at drawing. Actually it's best if you put like zero effort into it. Stick figures etc. work fine.

The point is that you don't spend so long on it that your daily activities you're drawing involve you also drawing the comics. (some people put a lot of effort into theirs and i think thats kind of dumb, defeats the purpose)

So just:
- Have some paper with you
- Draw some things on it after things happen at times of the day
- Generally you do 1 comic per hour from waking to sleepins
- The comic can be anywhere from 1 panel to a million+ panels
- Scan (or photograph, if you have no scanner) & Post



I realize that the "real" hourly comic day is feb 1st but suck a butt, we can make it whatever day we want.
So draw a day for you, like these links in the references below. I don't care what day you pick but just make it a day.
This could be cute.

Oh, you are also allowed to take pictures instead if you dont feel like drawing, but you have to assemble the pictures in comic format
 
Oh man. I am so in on this. I've tried to do hourly comics before but always end up forgetting about it. so they're more like trihourly comics. this will be fun.
 
Okay just to prove I AM doing this, here are cameraphone shots of what I have so far:

@EG: Cute!!! But what hour of the day was that? :O
the point is to do a little comic for every hour of the day, from wakins to sleepins
(even if they're boring)

yes, of COURSE my work is The Sun
 
I've tried this before. Being self aware of what you do each hour kind of messed with me. I spend so many hours in-front of the computer/tv but nothing eventful happens. So I go out of my way looking for things to complain or joke about. Either I didn't draw anything for an hour because nothing happened, or I drew it so quickly that nobody but me would know what happened. I guess I could always redraw the panels at the end of the day. But Ven says too much effort is dumb so I won't make it look nice.

Sorry if it's hard to read ... I promised myself I wouldn't devote more than 5 minutes to any given hourly set, and dammit i was gonna use a ballpoint pen BECAUSE FUCK MISTAKES.
 
Oh god Ven, that was great :lol:

Im going to do this next monday. For tomorrow ive got no school and its more interesting to write about school than the weekend (usually end up doing nothing)
 
DADEVSTER HOURLY COMIX FUN TIME, GOOD HAPPY

I'm actually pretty happy with how these came out! I probably put a little too much effort into some of the panels in regards to eraser shavings but whatever.

Also SHHHH it's not midnight yet I might have cheated! oops
