Hourly Comics Day 2025!

I published many of the pages that I created during Hourly Comics Day 2025 here on this post. It's now the day after HCD, and I'm finishing up some of the evening comics that I didn't get to. I'm taking a couple of the pages offline for now, as I'll be compiling all of them into a self-published 'zine that will go out to members of my Monthly 'Zine Club later in February. Consider signing up to become a print or digital subscriber to get your copy.

Haha, yes. She’s looking at colleges now… 😅😅😅 I am not the one watching Babylon 5, that’s my two friends in the group chat. I don’t know what they’re talking about half the time but what I gather is that it’s a pretty decent 90’s sci-fi show, but doesn’t quite match the quality of Deep Space Nine

These are great! Your kid has a jo---wait she's like a teenager now? Time flies! Is Babylon 5 good?

Thanks for the great comment Farel, I have a lot of fun memories from that particular convention, hanging out with you is one of them. There was a period where I just had the best time going to small press shows and selling 'zines, and really just socializing with lots of other cartoonists and artists. SPACE was one of the most fun. I really haven't done any conventions or shows in a very long time now. Now that you bring it up, the memory of somebody yelling/farting during Dave Sim's moment of silence is coming back to me, and yes, I am thinking it might have been one of the friends who'd come with me that weekend. Very funny memory. I hope things are good with you!

great comics, mike. i'll never forget that year at bob corby's (2001?) S. P. A. C. E. when mr. cerebus had the whole crowd do a moment of silence for freedom of speech and someone farted and maybe like an ICP guy yelled "fucking freedom" I looked over and saw you with your head down laughing and was wondering if it was your friend who farted. 😂 I think that was before I met you and realized you drove down from New York as well. I think we laid later chatted at some party in Brooklyn or something. I was a dumb drunken mess in those days. I'm so glad you're still making comics and staying true and I really appreciate reading your stuff about how hard it is to survive doing this kooky business. though it's hard for me to fathom how tough it all is to do while raising children. much love and admiration.

It helped that it was such a chill day, lol. I wasn't sure how things would go with Hourly Comic Day falling on a Saturday, but it turned out we had very little to do :)

nice catch

Pretty chill day, it would seem. I'd love to know how you managed to get these done so quickly

Yay Babylon 5!! (Edit: You misspelled it.)

It’s a group of adults volunteering to raise $$$ for one of the extracurricular activities at the school. Yea, definitely if there was a teenager involved who could take over social media duties they could do a better job of it than me, I’m sure 😁😁

I’m having fun so far! Let’s see how the rest of the day goes…

You work with a bunch of /teenagers/ who need an /adult/ to run their Facebook account???

Brian Harvey

Brilliant!!! Been looking forward to this all week. Thanks for posting (and I hope that you don’t burn out) — stay strong! 💪
