This isn't funny in the sense that Pictures for Sad Children is funny.

You know.

"At all."

This dude boned Kate Beaton. If he's good enough for her, he's good enough for me.

Wait, that sounds like I want to fuck him. nm

Quote from: This dude
during the month of january i make a journal comic every hour that i am awake.

at the end of the day, i scan these and put them online and you can read them about 24 hours after i drew them.

i wanted to see what it would be like if journal comics were a little more detailed and also monotonous. it helps me see where my life has been ("nowhere") and where my life is going (probably also "nowhere")

on february first some other people also do this.

after that, i am sick of hourly comics and i do not feel like doing them again for about eleven months

Thats kind of a sad story.

If you've read PFSC you'll know that "happy" isn't exactly John Campbell's thing.

i can handle his regular comics because there is enough time between updates for me to cheer the hell up.  if i read his hourly comics, id probably get S.O.S.A.D. and want to eat a bullet.

I have met this John Campbell and enjoy Pictures for Sad Children a lot.  I wonder if I bought him a beer would he put that in his hourly comic?

Anyway, it is good to be in Chicago and the hourly comics apparently has other artists contributing to it that I know or have met.  I may even read some of them someday.
