10/19-10/20: Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Four Hours To Go-o-o-o
Sorry this entry took longer than expected-- yesterday was quite the busy day.
Today's all about the 24-hour comic, and I'm totally on board this year. Unfortunately, the nearest official 24-hour event is about six hours from where I live, so I'm gonna be doin' things from my study. Yes, my drawings are terrible, but there comes a time when you gotta bite the bullet.
If the results are successful, I'll show them to you-- though maybe not until the New Year. I have... reasons for that.
Other stuff:
Today's favorite contains some blue language and a keen grasp of human nature.
I'm having a hard time remembering what I liked yesterday, so let's just link this gag from Amy Mebberson, my favorite strip she's done so far.
My ego isn't really big enough to make me think that I have any influence over Tim Buckley, but it's funny to see him at least trying to address the issue I raised two months back. I think that to address it completely, you'd need to have the characters go through permanent change, and that doesn't seem to be on the agenda. But it's kind of bittersweet because of that, like those superhero stories where the writer can make you think about the flaws in Batman's life, but can't fix 'em with any action that editors or other writers won't undo.
Gary Tyrrell has the basics of the O RLY vs. Jeffrey Rowland case covered. I'm more or less with Gary on this, but I got into hot water over a "recontextualization" similar to Rowland's, so I can't say there's no precedent. And even though I think Rowland's in the right, I do agree with Ryan Sohmer that Rowland's indie cred will make up more people's minds than the rights or wrongs of this use.
The time is 7:30 AM. The 24 hours begin... NOW.
