So, a couple of people made their epic attempts at the “24-hour comic” this weekend, and someone else was making note of it and said “You’re meant to do 24 pages in 4 hours…” which is a typo that he may or may not fix soon, but which matched an idea I’d already had, while talking to Iain about his comic as he did it.
See, really, the comic is meant to be 24 pages (or 100 panels, for online comics), all drawn, inked, lettered, colored, and done before the end of the 24 hours (also scanned and online, in the case of the 100-panel online comic in 24hours). Not four hours.
But … I think I can do a 100-panel online comic in four hours.
In fact, I’ve just been having a little bit of a chat with Iain, and despite his utter, miserable failure at completeing the 24-hour comic in 24 hours (at least you aren’t a quitter, Iain! ::wink::), he also believes he will be able to complete a 24-page (or 100-panel online) comic in under four hours. Before the end of the week. So, how about we say that before next Monday at 21:00MST, Iain and I will both have our 100-panel comics online, each done in under four hours?
Whaddya say?
Anyone else want to play along?
Is slowing down all time but mine, and running on world time(rather than my normal speed time) against the rules?

Yes. Here’s a good rule to follow: if it makes you suffer, or seems like it might make you cry, then that is the correct answer.

Iain, You have summed it up completely. I feel like putting together a ME FAQ now, and using variations of that answer for every question.
Excellent.

So then, it would be a GOOD thing if I…. stayed at normal speed, and increased all other time, and went by that time then…. huh… I see what you are getting at… that WOULD make me suffer and/or cry!
