Hourly Comic Day

Is anyone else doing Hourly Comic Day today? It's my first year of doing it, but it's been going for quite a few years. You just draw a comic for every hour you're awake today, and upload and them as and when you can. I've put the first few up in a series on Tapastic and am going to update them intermittently today, as I'll be out and about. It would be great to see some other people's hourlies!

FYI, I'm on UK time, so it's just about to hit midday here.

Ooh! Hourly comics! I always see them around, never know when they're actually going to happen until it's too late... It's kinda late noon over here all ready so I guess I'm too late... again. I assume this is an annual thing, Is it the same date every year?

Yeah, it's every year on Feb 1st. I think you can do them retroactively, i.e. draw 9am, 10am, 11am etc and post them all at 1pm, if necessary. There aren't really strict rules or anything. There's a website for it which explains more. They used to post them all on the one forum, but now it's kinda everywhere thanks to Twitter and Tumblr.

Aaaaaaah! I planned to do it (for the first time) but I completly forgot it!!!! Waaah... I didn't do anything today DD: It's already 5 PM in Germany. Yap! I will take part! But I will draw it tomorrow. I have to rush outside now and do amazing stuff (like bungee jumping and saving kittens) to impress strangers on the internet!

Ah, excellent! Thanks for the tip off! It's... uh... probably for the best that I missed it considering that I overslept until 11am and then did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but try to figure out what my Valentines day comic will be for the following 8 hours. ._. I've only just had breakfast. It's 7:15pm.

Although come to think of it that would be hellava easy to draw...

Drawing doing nothing is harder than you might think

I ended up drawing up to 4pm and then just making notes for the others because I was out, so I'm going to draw them up and post them later today. No rules!
