I guess we're doing this too #HourlyComicsDay #Comics #MakingComics #ClipStudioPaint #MastoArt

An Hourly Comics Day page of four comic panels. These show a tired-looking anthropomorphic moth character going about their day. Panel 1 - "8:00 AM - Wake up, have coffee, and look at my Mastodon feed."
Panel 2 - "9:00 AM - I need to do our weekly grocery shop today, and I'm really dreading it. At 9:30 I realize I still haven't taken my Concerta." (A pill bottle grins and says "LOL")
Panel 3 - "10:00 AM - I get in my car to do the shopping, and get it over with. It's -16 degrees C and the car (a trusty 2003 Sentra) still starts right up."
(the moth is sitting in the driver's seat pumping their fist and going "WOO HOO!")
Panel 4 - "11:00 AM - I ink and shade the three previous panels."
(A repeat of panel 1 of the moth sitting on the couch, but this time it's still just pencils and a stylus pen is inking part of the drawing. Below this is the text "SO META")

Part two
#HourlyComicDay #HourlyComicDay2023 #Comics #MakingComics #SmallPressComics

Part two of Hourly Comics Day starring the artist's Mothsona.
Panel 1 - "12:00 PM - Lunch. Canned tomato soup with leftover rice, plus some cheese and crackers. (Anyone remember 'Sad Desk Lunch?' Somehow this reminds me of that, even though I didn't eat this at my desk)"
Panel 2 - "1:00 PM - Checking my latest social media posts to see how they're performing. Do not recommend."
(The moth character is sitting at a computer, angrily swearing and then saying "WHY AM I DOING THIS")
Panel 2 - "2:00 PM - COFFEE"
(The moth is sipping contentedly from a J.S. Bach coffee mug and saying "OH YEAH, THAT'S THE STUFF")
Panel 4 - "3:00 PM - I attempt to outline a bit more of 'The Last Band On Earth' issue #5, in a tattered old notebook. Fun fact: this notebook is so old that it contains the script for the original unfinished version of 'Last Band,' which I did in 2002."

#HourlyComicDay #HourlyComicDay2023 #Comics #MakingComics #MastoArt #ClipStudioPaint

Four more Hourly Comics Day panels.
Panel 1 - "4:00 PM - Looking into setting up an email newsletter. Can't seem to find a service that will work for me, and growing ever more frustrated." (Can't use Stripe in Canada, Privacy concerns - WHY)
Panel 2 - "5:00 PM - Mincing garlic for supper, which I insist on doing by hand for some stupid reason. Also, my left thumb is split open from the dry weather and stinging from the garlic oils. Yay!!!"
(The moth character minces garlic, going "ow, ow, ow, ow" and gritting their teeth)
Panel 3 - "6:00 PM - Supper. My sister-in-law's recipe - stewed tomatoes , garlic, and balsamic vinegar served on baguette bread with hummus."
Panel 4 - "7:00 PM - I'm gonna leave it here because I don't feel like making another page (and I'm probably just finishing the previous panels again, anyway)
(The moth character lying in bed, eyes closed, giving a thumbs up, saying "Good night - good comics, everyone")
