Paul was hands-down Best at Cats and Trees. Barry was Best at Cramming Giant Blocks of dialogue into a picture without it (usually) looking terribly cluttered. Plus he drew great stubble. Jenn won Best Zingers: "Proving once again that cats make terrific paperweights," and so forth. And Best Eyes. No one could draw boots and flames, especially freshly-lit cigs, like Kip. Now you know. ;) When I did "The Ice Field" (the 12-hr comic that is now and forever my sum total partial-achievement in the 24-hr sweepstakes), there were fortuitous circumstances that won't be duplicated all at once any time again soon: I had a four-day weekend (the better to start drawing exactly when I wanted to), my roommate was away, and I was about to move out. All possible distractions were packed away and unavailable to deter me. So it went most swimmingly. I even finished with about an hour to spare, more or less. Normally, though, I hate doing pictures while watching a clock: It's too much like my job, and I just get cramped and whiny. And staying up for an entire day ?! Wahhh !! I guess the comic itself is okay, though. I can look at it without cringing any more than I do at most of the comics I've done. Ah, well. Someone had to be the dissident voice in this club. :o Well, if no one else is going to add anything, I’ll just yammer on some more ’til you make me stop: :D
