Sequential Artists Workshop celebrates 24-Hour Comics Day
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on October 9, 2023
While crowds of people flocked to UF’s campus to celebrate Homecoming, a smaller few congregated on the other side of town to celebrate a niche and artistic holiday: 24-Hour Comics Day.
Developed in 2009 by cartoonist Scott McCloud, the holiday began as a solo creative exercise. The challenge: create a 24-page comic book in the restraint of 24 hours. Not a sketch, not a rough draft but a finished, fleshed-out comic.
The exercise proved to be a unique creative challenge, and by 2004, it became an official holiday celebrated Oct. 7 . . .
