Scott McCloud’s mind-blowing challenge, The 24 hour Comics Day ended today at noon. I participated 2 years ago (when it was still held in April) and wrote The Latter History and Subsequent Burning of Little Red Riding Hood. Let me tell you that is was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I mean, a page an hour??? By myself??? From scratch??? BUT it was an amazing rite of passage. Even though I didn’t finish, I certainly accomplished something.

Last night, I stopped by the Austin Museum of Art’s Laguna Gloria location looking GLBTQ folk who may have been participating. I found Katy Riggs and Regan Johnson, and got an article up on Prism about them. I can’t wait to see what they came up with in the end.

So, to anyone who is at all interested in getting into comics – DO THIS!!!!!!
