Sleep? Sleep is for Suckers.

Sleep? Sleep is for Suckers.

Moments from now — or perhaps minutes — I shall start on my 24-hour comic. Along with fellow illustrative scientists Matt Sutter and Peter Dalkner, we shall sit down, and put pen to paper. A full-day later, we will stop putting pen to paper, and hopefully in the interim three cogent, well-constructed stories will be written and inked.

The 24-hour comic is not a new idea. Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics (two very good reads for the sequential art thirsty) invented the idea, I suppose to test one's creative endurance. Well I am up for the challenge, Mr. McCloud! I won't be your punching bag!

So hopefully everything will go well. Unfortunately, I'm not at peak condition, seeing as I just put in a 60 hour week at work. But I got a good amount of sleep last night, and I've got my artsy-fartsy supplies. But most important of all, I've got the kernel of an idea for a refridgeration salesman who sells freezers by day; and by night he... sells freezers. But at slashed prices which benefit the consumer, and — ultimately — the economy.

Nice one. But will this closet-philanthropic freezer salesman create a false demand for the refrigeration market?
Will his agressive cut-price strategies ultimately damage the jobs of thousands?
Are his units ozone friendly?

The mind boggles...

Where is this 24-hour comic? I've been waiting for, like, 48 hours now.

Hmm - good question, jorichma...

I'm preparing my post for it, hopefully later this week. I wanna show thumbs of what we did...

But for a sneak peak into what happened, I'll say this: I'm not a young man anymore...
