This past weekend I participated in the 24 Hour Comic Book Day challenge. The goal is to simply create a 24 page comic book in 24 hours. I finished 12 pages before I thought I was going to either pass out or stab myself with my pigment liners. Keep in mind that the event took place in a comic shop, so a lot of time was eaten up by browsing. The comic I did finish is an homage to the brilliant Fleischer brothers and makes about as much sense as their cartoons. I gave myself 2 restraints just to make it even harder (a bad idea); I didn't plan out ANYTHING until I started drawing it, and I didn't use any dialogue. Against my better judgement, here are the results:
That $2 is a joke. It's worth is immeasurable.

All laughs over here, David. How many hours did you clock? This is great I think I might like the last panel the best...especially because the remains have a little hat.
I need to do this one year. You must have some amazing local news if they covered 24-hour comic day!
HAHA! David, this is brilliant and TOTALLY entertaining. You rock man!
Hey Bob, thanks man! I actually stayed the entire 24 hours, my friend was able to do all 24 pages of his comic but I simply ran out of steam. I may have worked a total of 13-14 hours, the rest of the time was taken up by chatting with friends, reading comics, and buying Ghostbusters toys, it was rather hard staying on task but a ton of fun. You should definitely try it next year, you would destroy!
Thanks a bunch Chris! I think only guys like you and Bob appreciate the weird humor and vintage animation throwback, thanks for the kind words!
A lot of cool and brillant works!
Bino
It made perfect sense to me David!
Actually, it was freakin' weird and twisted...and that's exactly what I would have expected from you, and I love it. The page where the hammer crunches down on that poor bastards head is my favorite.
Awesome stuff. Well done sir. This post was a real treat.
Thanks Bino, you're too cool!
Hey Jason, thanks a bunch man! The panel you speak of was drawn pretty late in the game when I was halucinating, so I'm glad something enjoyable emerged! You should do the challenge one year, I can only imagine what warped results you would have!
It's always something that has appealed to me, so perhaps one day I'll find the time.
By the way, I love the main character, he cracks me up.
This is super cool!!
Thanks a bunch Alina, YOU are super cool!
Thanks a bunch Vincent! I'm a loyal reader of your awesome blog, your sketches are a huge inspiration. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey David,
