This coming Saturday, October the 20th, is International 24 hour comics day, a day when over 1200 cartoonists, comic book artists, writers and ne'er-do-wells set aside a day to making a 24 page comic.The description from the website:
- What is a 24 hour comic?
- It's a challenge: one cartoonist tries to create a full 24 page comic, normally months of work, in 24 straight hours.more info
-What is 24 Hour Comics Day?
-It's an international celebration of comics creation. Cartoonists all over take the challenge of trying to create a 24 page comic story in 24 straight hours. Many gather at special events in comic book shops, schools, and other locations.
it's not midnight to midnight, luckily, so I can do it after a good night's sleep. I may or may not be doing it around other people. Hopefully I will, but I'm fine if I'm just sitting around my room forcing myself to be creative.
As a side note, "Popeye Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves" is AMAZING. It makes me realize that animation has been missing barely coherent mumbling for a long time. Popeye making a joke, and then immediately making a joke about the joke he just made was "meta" before it was cool. You can seriously find that on like a 6 dollar "Cartoon Classics" DVD at a Walgreens, and it comes with a TON of other great catoons. It seems like they've all been downloaded from the Internet Archive, to be honest, you can download it here and do whatever you like with it. I suggest watching it. You can just as easily remaster it and release it on an expensive DVD set with tons of extras and make me want to spend money I don't have. If you're a giant corporation.
More updates forthcoming! Soon!
