It's a week away, but it's never too early to remind people. Next Saturday is 24 Hour Comic Day all across the world!

What is 24 Hour Comic Day, you ask?

24HCD is an international celebration of comics creation. Cartoonists all over take the challenge of trying to create a 24 page comic story in 24 straight hours. Many gather at special events in comic book shops, schools, and other locations.

The challenge is to create a complete 24 page comic book in 24 continuous hours. That means everything: Story, finished art, lettering, colors, paste-up, etc. Once pen hits paper, the clock starts ticking. (for more information on 24HCD go to the official site: http://www.24hourcomicsday.com/)

This year, 24HCD in Pittsburgh will be hosted by Time Tunnel Comics (http://www.timetunnelpgh.com/). Also appearing is Larry Young, publisher of AiT/Planet Lar (http://www.ait-planetlar.com/).

I'll be there along with fellow Strumhaus artists Scott Hedlund and Barry Linck. Take the challenge, it's a lot of fun, or just stop by and check out comics as they're being created.
