A One-hour comic.

Short attention-span 24 hour comics. A complete story, one hour, 20 panels. It isn't as exhausting as a 24 hour comic, but it's at least as frantic.

I like the idea of a 1 hour comic! (One of the links to the images, next to last row, is not linking) I like it!

Thanks. The image should be fixed now. Accidentally linked to the file on my desktop

That's kind of an important row...

This is such a cool thing, I'm moving the topic from Hype to Art. Maybe we can see more of these from other people?

Since I have time to kill before I meet some friends at the coffee shop, I'm going to do a One Hour Comic and it's starting now! I'll post when it's finished and up!

Finished with the illusttrations in just 1/2 hour. Now I need to scan....

Randy · Post by **Randy** » Wed May 01, 2002 7:15 pm

Art is scanning and assembled in Photoshop. Now I just have to Web it and post....13 minutes left...

The above link will lead you to the One Hour comic that I just finished, with four minutes to spare! It feels really good to have done it. Why aren't you doing one?

later,
Randy

PS: I propose that we call them "Lunch Hour Comics", since it only takes an hour and one could get done during lunch.

24 panels. Hey! you're showing me up

Cool comic though. I like the larger panel size. I was afraid I wouldn't finish in time if I went with big panels.

Um. "Lunch hour comic" works for me.

I made one too:

It's about entropy, the stuck-in-the-wall thing doesn't really have anything to do with it and was made outside of the time limit, years outside.

I'm going to do one, too. It's sort of like 1/24th of a 24-hour comic. Would have done it already, but life intervenes.

Bjorn · Post by **Bjorn** » Fri May 03, 2002 6:39 pm

awright.. I'm gonna do one.

Bjorn · Post by **Bjorn** » Fri May 03, 2002 8:16 pm

Done!

http://www.hi.is/~bjornkri/1hcomic/

Only 16 frames, and it took me nearly an hour to draw. Only had a minute to scan, and I took a bit longer than that... Especially since I had to copy and paste into the wooly frame thing.. I thought that would save me some time, not sure it did

Anyway, great fun to do, it usually takes me an hour to do a single simple drawing

Oh, and yes, I was listening to Pink Floyd when I drew this

I like everyone's Lunch Hour comic so far! Let's see more!

I'm doing something a little different, which isn't much like a one-hour comic, except that I'm working quickly. I'm just spending about one hour each day (more like the Morning Improv, actually) adapting Hamlet. Since I'm using Tom Stoppard's "15-minute Hamlet" rather than the full text, I should be done sometime next week. I'll be posting pages as I complete them, so the first ones will appear this week.

Can't wait to see it Greg!

A preview of that is up today. Taking a cue from what seems to be Randy's MO, I snapped a digi-photo and slapped it up there.

I just finished a one hour comic. I got the plot idea and a name from http://rumandmonkey.com/elements/index.php , can I still call it mine?

I'll try to get it scanned tomorrow, if I can figure out where to do it. The output from the CGI that I worked with was "The ladies room at the all male gay bar" and the name "Dira". I even got 24 panels in an hour and one 8.5x11 page.

Sorry about the low quality scan, I wasn't the one who scanned it.

Hey, anyone mind if I link to your comics? I'm planning on redesigning my website in anticipation of project I am working on, and I thought I would put up a section for one-hour (aka lunch hour...) comics...

Also, I just finished another one: www.contretemps.net

Feel free to link to mine as well. You really shouldn't have to ask permission to link to things.

Yep, you can link mine too if you want
