Compliment and promotion in one! I am in both "Awww" and AWE. I have the BEST EXCUSE EVER for caving last year--some bastard tricked me into looking up a picture of Steroid Abuse Carrot Top. I never needed to see SACT's pubic hairs. Dangit, NOW I have an idea for a comic. Shucks, Nat! Compliment and promotion in one! I am in both “Awww” and AWE.

Dangit, NOW I have an idea for a comic.

It's a trip! Every cartoonist should do it at least once. Last year, I threw in after 14 hours (I think), just wasn't feeling it. This year? ALL THE WAY. I’ll be at Austin Books for my third 24HCD.

I plan to do it again. I'm going to continue my 24 hour comic (that I only made it about 18 hours on) from last year, in which I completed a grand total of 6 pages. Awesome. I'd love to get some philadelphia artists together to do it as a group. I have plenty of space at my house but I'm sure other places around town would host us. Like A-Space or something. You can contact me at the website above if you're interested in getting together. The closest site listed to our area is up in Levittown. I went there last year and it was fun, but not quite what I was looking for. Any philadelphians reading about this out there? I plan to do it again.
