24 Hour Comics Day!
On Saturday, October 20th, I participated in the 24 Hour Comics event at my school, PNCA. I was one of the organizers of the event, so I also had to show up early, spent the entire first hour trying to write some ideas down while making and replenishing coffee for our 25 or so participants, and was taken away many times to check an re-check our coffee and snack supply. I drew my pages on 5″ by 4″ paper scraps I had and there’s only one panel per page, but I’m still surprised I finished at all, let alone in 17 hours and 20 minutes.
We had a really good crew of participants, and I think about half of us finished, many of those finished comics coming from first-timers. I didn’t take any myself, but there should be some pictures to post in a few days.
I did pass out restlessly for about two hours between 5:30 and 7:30 am, after making a giant pot of coffee for those still working, but otherwise did not get to sleep until 8pm on Sunday night, 37 hours after I woke up on Saturday morning.

Very clever. You should definitely publish it.
I was hoping the end of your comic would give some indication of you being dead tired - you know, a spelling error, mushed ink, a forgotten eyeball; but you seem to have managed very well. I thought it was lovely. It made me chuckle. I wish I were a boy and could have a mustache.
Thanks you two. To answer both of your questions: I DO plan on publishing it soon, and Photoshop can do amazing things.
