John: You’re Invited to 18-Hour Comic Day.
Galen: Invitation to 18 hr Comic Day!!
Galen: 18 hr comic details…
Just a reminder that tomorrow is 18-hour comic day, which is Galen and my softcore response to the more insane 24-hour comic day. You are all invited to join us, and you do not have to have any drawing background to enjoy this. Look at me: I really have no idea what I’m getting into. I haven’t really done any serious work in Photoshop in the past 2.5 million seconds, but I think I’m going to try to follow the rules that would qualify it as an official, Scott McCloud sanctioned 24-hour comic:
- The entire comic has to be created, including its conception and any planning, within a 24-hour time span.
- The comic must consist of at least 24 pages or 100 panels, if using the infinite canvas concept.
- You can still be recognized for your “noble failure”, even if you don’t quite make it to 24 pages in 24 horus.
Come back to Mind on Fire tomorrow if you’d like to see my comic unfold throughout the day. I will also post links to other participants’ pages, so you can follow their progress as well. (but only if you send me your links!) I am also happy to post links to your project if you can’t do it tomorrow, but make the attempt in the next week or two.
I think that Galen and I are going to start our projects at 5 or 6am Pacific/Arizona time; I may not actually post anything until later in the morning, since I’ll probably spend the first 2-3 hours drinking coffee and procrastinating. Ehem. Planning and experimenting with drawing and Photoshop.
It’s going to be a busy month:
- Saturday, October 24th: 18-hr Comic Day.
- Thursday, October 29th through Saturday, October 31st: World Fantasy Convention in San Jose.
- Sunday, November 1st through Monday, November 2nd: Kicking off NaNoWriMo by writing furiously at an undisclosed location in San Francisco.
- November 1st through 30th: NaNoWriMo.
- Friday, November 6th through Sunday, November 8th: The Fall Gathering of the Southern California Quarterly Meeting
- Thursday, November 12th through Sunday November 15th: The Annual Meeting of the Friends National Committee on Legislation in Washington, DC.
- Saturday, November 28th: LosCon with the family (for just the one day)
I’ll keep you posted all along!

and here’s my post about how I am going to balance the fact that tomorrow is ALSO our local zombie walk! a bit of tailoring to my challenge, including the possibility of noble failure (of the Eastman variety).
so so very excited.
AND excited for all of your plans John, happy travels.
