Hi Kids!

Here we are at the halfway point: HOUR 12! Is it me, or does it seem to be going faster this year?

Oh well.

As promised, here’s the treat I spoke of last hour:

I’m posting the email Deimosa sent me after I sent her one to see if she would be joining us remotely this year…

Hi everyone,

I wish I was going to be there with you guys! But, to make up for my absence, I wrote about doing 24 hr comic book day with 7000BC in my blog post today for Scholastic:

Have fun this weekend!!

All the best,

Deimosa

Omigosh! I just read her article. It was wonderful! Good on ya, Kid!

We are so proud that we could have been instrumental in your progression through life. Thank you for sharing!

I remember that comic you referenced in your article. It was good! At least I thought so. It was a fascinating account of how The Underground Railroad used to used quilts to communicate to escaping slaves when it was safe to move on. I still think about it sometimes. In fact, I still have the pictures:

This also demonstrates what we at 7000 BC are always saying to budding artists, namely you don’t have to be Norman Rockwell or Leonardo da Vinci to tell a story with sequential art.

Not being any kind of artist (even stick figures), I have chosen this blog as my contribution to 24 Hour Comics Day.

So, I hope you enjoyed that interlude. We’ll have more pictures next hour.

Your pal,

Chuck
