The hours will seem as days

[scarfman]

Fellow Daily Grinder stereotypist does a couple panels of journal comic every waking hour. John's organized an hourly comic day February 1st, sorta like the annual 24-Hour Comic Day inspired by Scott McCloud's exercise. I decided I'll give it a try.

John works in stick figures, for which he caught some grief from Grind readers, but I like minimalism too; so - even though I plan to work in freehand in my sketchbook instead of on the computer - maybe I'll do this in triangles. There are days I wish my daily webcomic was line drawings scanned and uploaded with no post-production necessary.

Or maybe ... When I kept a journal in the 90s (on an Amiga so it's all lost now), for part of that time what I'd do was I'd put a fanfiction sketch in my sketchbook that was symbolic of the day's happenings or thoughts, with the Doctor as the self-insertion character. Then in the journal entry for that day I'd explain the symbolism. Maybe I'll do those for hourly comics, cycling through the Doctor's faces one an hour.
