Ramblings and webcomics from LeEMS
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.
aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghh! my arm is killing me. I need to stretch again. But otherwise THIS IS FUN!
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.
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?
