    Wow, you actually did that! It's awesome! Did you really make comics pretty much hourly, or did you take notes and draw them later? (Paul and I were saying earlier today that taking notes and drawing comics later was the only way the hourly comic seemed feasible to us.)

    I especially liked the part with the cookie.

    The chilli dog was also good.

    Great comic. Kinda illegible, but that only adds to the charm.

    Stick figures!

    No, I did it as the day went on, it wasn't very hard, I'd just draw one while in class, or take a short little 5 minutes and do it while I worked.

    It really didn't cut into anything at all, you can work and draw on a notecard at the same time. I guess it depends on how in detail you want to get. If you do it sketchy like I did on 3x5 cards there'll be no problem. But if you're doing full sheets of paper of course it's gonna cut into your time.

    My job would prevent me the opportunity to draw stuff every hour. Maybe every 2 hours, but not every hour.

    I wish I could draw stick figures as well as you can.

    Yeah, I've been drawing them like that since elementary school. It's a remedial art form, but I have it down pretty good. All the emotion and whatnot has to come through in the head.

    It drives me crazy when people give their stick figures long necks.
  • hlavcohlavco

    Same here. Stick figures have no necks! I thought I was alone.

    There are some sick people out there.

    They long for a race of particularly skinny giraffe people.

    I draw my stick persons with necks, but not long ones.

    I've been meaning to practice my stick figures and develop a style that I actually like, but I'm lazy.

    I'm terrible at drawing stick figures.

    I used to make stick figure wars in my notebooks. The ones with the shaded in baseball caps against the ones with the unfilled caps. It was pretty fun, but got old pretty quickly. That, and I got better at drawing.

    I once made a flipbook animation of two stick figures fencing on the corners of some of the pages of my Economics textbook.

    Obviously a better use for it than was intended.

    Sorry to divert the topic, but Hammy you have the best google ads ever:
  • hlavcohlavco
    edited January 2006
    Heh, yeah. Every time I change my website I like to look at the ads to see how they've changed, depending on whatever I write in the update.

    Hmm: Seems like since I switched to doing my own HTML, the ads have disappeared. So much for the funny.
  • HamelinHamelin
    edited January 2006
    Yeah, I like the google ads, because if nothing else I get to mess with google because I write about so many different topics.

    For like two weeks after I wrote that piece about the drug story in the newspaper I had nothing but drug rehab ads.

    I click on them when I'm not at my computer. Stickin it to the Man! Possibly the government!
  • kukopankikukopanki

    I think I found a better ad.

    Honestly I'm cool with the Firefox induced ad-ignorence.

    Hourly Comic Day was a success!

    I took notes on my day and may draw a comic if I get bored!

    Fortunately, yesterday was rather eventful.

    My day yesterday was stupendously uneventful. the end.

    EDIT: I should totally make a comic about it in all it's uneventful glory! Right now! Instead of doing my homework! Again!

    EDIT #2: I made one! but I'm too tired to be bothered with scanning it! Maybe tomorrow. Possibly not as I will likely be doing homework.

    I couldn't hack it either. The whole day was spent sitting around, or messing with my computer. Who wants to read about hacking on Ubuntu? I was doing it, and I don't wanna read about it.

    I liked your hourly comic, and I never want to take a poetry workshop. EVAR. 7:23, 7:51 and 10:40 were awesome entries.

    I don't know, Carnivore, I think hacking on Ubuntu could either make a good short comic or could make us all go insane.

    I dunno about that comic....

    You went right for the fanservice with the towel scene there. Purely gratuitous in my opinion!
