ok so, my eyes are starting to cross.  I think this is the point past which I can no longer go break-less.  I mean, like a bigger break than going to the rest-room or getting up to stretch.

Oh, so yeah, you saw the title right?  ‘Death Goes to Octoberfest:  the case of the Strychnine Streusel.’   I’m thinking inspector Lewis, and corny 80s mystery paperbacks, and Clue, and Noises Off, actually…

Ok, here are the first two pages of my 24 hour comics challenge.  I have very little idea what I’m going to do with it next, but I know what the end is, so maybe I’ll work on those pages (which you won’t get to see yet) and figure out the middle later.

I’ve got 24 hours before my comic drawing marathon begins.  I’m really ridiculously excited and have been boring and annoying everyone with talk of it all week.  I will be posting all the pictures here as I go.

At the end of this week is 24 hour comics day.  Saturday, October 1st to be exact.  My challenge will start at 8am.  I’m kind of thinking that it will be ok, and that my tendency to draw draw draw every evening will serve me well.  And then I’m thinking that I’m underestimating the challenge and I will be a crazy eyed zombie by the time it is done.

Anyway!  I will be posting the pages here as they are completed, so check in to see how I’m doing.

Alright kiddies.  I had an epiphany–I greatly dislike manual upkeep on an rss feed, which is what I was doing for Levi Levi ever since I took it off of it’s old blog platform years ago.  Combine that with the guilt I’ve been feeling about not regularly updating the Bean and voila! — a new website for my projects means a new life for the Bean.  While there will still be some consumption commentary, the Bean will be more about production.

I mean, it only makes sense yeah?  The Bean is my bean, and since I’ve been more into making things than taking things it should be too.

This is my idea:  this fancy new blogging platform makes it easy to offer multiple feeds out of one blog.  Sooooooo, the Bean will make my comic feeds for me.  So far, I’ve listed the currently production ready comics as their own ‘subscribe to’ links over on the right.  Updates on the Bean will happen before updates to the comic pages themselves–but the pages won’t be too far behind.

I love feeds, they’re awesome!

This new roll-out comes complete with a little more of comics that I’d only touched on in my previous web site release.   Well, those pages are expanded now too, as I’ve just updated the web site again.    No Evil and Flip Side are underway, along with upcoming pages for Levi Levi.  Soon to follow is Left Overs.

Cheers!

I’ve heard of this, somewhere, on someone’s tumblr or deviant art page at some point in time, but I never remembered to figure out what it is, which is weird because I like participating in online creative challenges.  Never remembered to figure it out until now, that is.  I just signed up for 24 hour comics day.  The site is weird and the sign up process is a lot like making a charitable pledge, but I circled around it a bunch of times to make sure it was the right place.

On October 1st (I decided to start myself at 8 a.m.) I will be drawing a 24 page comic in 24 hours.  The frenzied activity will distract me from my hasty rush to finish a couple of in progress stories before NaNoWriMo, and my obsession with trying to figure out what I am doing for NaNoWriMo.  Now I just have to figure out what I am doing for 24 hour comics day.

So, come on!  Whose with me?
