Every year, the first weekend of October is designated as 24-hour Comic Day. The goal of the event is to create a 24 page comic in 24 hours with no prior planning or scripting. A normally months-long process is compressed into a single day.
I decided to attempt my first 24-hour Comic Day challenge on October 7th, 2023. The following comic was created in 19 hours, starting from 9:00 AM and ending the following day at 4:00 AM. The story follows a group of teenagers as they drag an annoyed adult along with them to the Mall of America to obtain the coveted Nintendo Wii.
