24 Hour Comics Day Is Over In Albuquerque
All done in Albuquerque — another great 24 Hours Comic Day in New Mexico has successfully concluded.
Thanks to the 7000 BC members who worked so hard to put this all together; Media Arts Collaborative Charter School for hosting; Winning Coffee Company and Downtown Java Joe’s for their food donations; Astro-Zombies, Comic Warehouse, and the new Kaboom Test Labs for their prize donations.

Into the home stretch in Albuqurque
That’s Chuck, the documenter of the Albuquerque 24 Hour Comics Day event. After the power nap, he’s got plenty of updates at the blog, and pictures of completed comics.
Albuquerque Underway!
24 Hour Comics Day in Albuquerque is well underway at Media Arts Collaborative Charter School, with around 40 participants hard at work on their comics as of about 3 hours ago. Regular updates are posted at Chuck’s liveblog of the event; in a spectacular bit of poor planning we haven’t quite worked out how to share content over here.

24 Hrs in Q-Town: Hours 23 and 24
Hi Kids!
Parents are showing up to collect their kids and things are winding down.
Michael finished “Stray Dog” and Paul has 13 pages in the can. He’s saying it has something with the hard uncomfortable chairs and Jake is backing him up. Michael says that he had to stand up a lot. That helped. Pete has six pages done but he has assured us he’ll finish it onaccounta he likes it.
BIG NEWS! Jeff has finished at 11:59! We are all in awe of his awesomeness in finishing so close to the deadline.
Michael and Jeff looking somewhat ethereal, no?
That’s it! We’re OUTTA HERE!
See youse next year!
Your pal,
Chuck
Santa Fe: Just About Wrapped Up
Just a few minutes left here before the cleanup begins. Folks have been wrapping up and heading home all morning, though a few were still sticking it out and trying to finish their comics. The rest of us are just reading them. We also had a visit from a photographer for the Journal North, so check out tomorrow’s edition.
We’re figuring that we had 25 “official” participants, with plenty of friends, family, and other assorted hangers-on throughout the event. Since the last post, we’ve seen the completion of Tony’s Enjoy the Show, Kirstiann’s Black & White (in color), Rafael and Conseulo’s Aliens and Heroes (Consuelo also finished four pages of her own story), Caitlin’s At the Edge of the Lake, Julie and Tonya’s Cowan’s the Best Character…, and Katie’s Marquis (pencilled, though not all inked). Dale and Chris left with their mostly-completed comics, and Jett, Ethan, Benjy, Emily, Evan, and Vanessa are still plugging away.
Thanks to 7000 BC, True Believers Comics and Gallery, and Warehouse 21 for the use of their awesome new space. Also, thanks again to our food donors: Upper Crust Pizza, Walter Burke Catering, Java Joe’s, and La Montanita Co-Op.
24 Hrs in Q-Town: Hours 20 through 22
Hours 21 and 22
Now I ask you, does this look like the face of an old man who has been up for 29 hours?
Here we are at hour 21 and Gwen has finished her comic, “Lola”.
The sun is up and shining. The sky is a beautiful blue, not cloud in it and the temperature is a lovely, oh, I don’t know, somewhere around 70, 75. Not that I want to boast or anything, but to those people who, like my friend, Chuck, from Chicago, when he got off the plane in Phoenix, saw all the sand, and said, “Where’s the beach?”, that’s just the way it is almost every day here in the Land of Enchantment. I think the weather is the greatest thing about New Mexico. Unlike Phoenix, which is a blast furnace in the summer, we here in Q-Town enjoy mild, sunny winters and warm summers, the temperature rarely topping the century mark. And, it’s a dry heat so you don’t really even perspire all that much.
And you may wonder why I’m going on and on about all this. Well, the truth is Jake’s camera battery died on us so I’m waiting for it to charge up enough so we can get Gwen’s pic so the poor girl can go home and start the recovery process from this grueling ordeal. She’s being so patient, bless her heart…
The battery has charged enough and we can now bid a fond and grateful farewell to Gwen.
And not only that, but while I was in the bathroom performing my morning ablutions, Stu finished his comic, too.
Here’s Stu with his comic.
And Paul has gone for Starbuck’s (the BAWLS is long gone, but you know, BAWLS is a proud sponsor of 24 Hour Comic Day).
Bless his heart…
A lotta heart blessin’ goin’ on here, but then again, it is Sunday.
Hour 20
Sun’s up and Aliina has finished her comic at 8:26. Here she is with her comic, “Roll”.
