… but there is something we all agree about 24 HOUR COMICS DAY, as we show in the following video!

It’s just 3 a.m. as I check in here…
We’ve dwindled to a small group, but Jim Gorman is the first to have completed his 24 page story, and is getting ready to start another. Yep, he’s going to try and keep his original goal of getting two 24 page stories down on paper in one 24-hour session. That’s twenty-four pages in six hours if he can do it. Jim wins his pick of the Canson Fanboy prizes either way.
Rocky’s Pizza arrived with fresh fresh pizza pie earlier this evening, which is a wonderful motivator year after year (Thanks John & crew!) the box of snack treats from Sweet Clover Market is a never-ending treasure-trove (I’m now hooked on orange & rosemary flavored pecans…) Delicious coffee from Phoenix Books & Cafe has lasted us these past eighteen hours. We tip our hats to you all!

There’s about a dozen of us left drawing comics at Montpelier City Hall with eight hours and ten minutes left in the challenge. It’s still a quiet, studious bunch, but I’m sure everyone will loosen up when the wackiness of the 3-5am stretch hits. Anyway, I’m halfway through my comic and listening to Joy Division on my iPhone. Whatever keeps you going!
About 60 drawing people in several buildings finishing their 24 pages from Saturday 11 am. to Sunday 11 am.
I stopped by Escape Velocity in Colorado Springs for their 24-Hour Comics Day event to speak with the artists who are taking the challenge. They’re hard at work, 9 hours into the full 24.
Good luck, all of you!
… and some of our artists were able to finish their 24-hour comics! From A3 Comics to Pocket Comics, we’ve had great stories created here today. Here are the covers of the 5 completed 24-pages-comics done until now!

We’re currently down a few people…but we’ll keep going. XD
Wow, we are now in hour #13 in Montpelier’s 24-Hour Comic challenge. We’ve lost a handful of participants, but most people are going strong on their comics. There’s plenty of coffee on the burner, bagels to be tasted, chocolate to be eaten and a few pieces of cold pizza hanging around.
One of the cool aspects of doing 24-Hour Comics at such a public venue (we’re in Montpelier City Hall and most of the cartoonists are drawing in the City Council chambers) is the steady stream of locals coming in to see what the fuss is all about. So far, everyone has been blown away by the talent.
See you again in a few hours!
