Background to Comic

For the fifteenth year I am drawing at least one panel per hour I am awake. It took me some time though, to upload this English version of the comic. The comic is digitally drawn (Clip Studio Paint) with a limited color palette. Below the visual Comic find a text-based version, Screenreadable Comic Version.

Transcript of Comic to Plain Text

The comic consists of 15 square panels in a very simple drawing style, with text or without, but always with a time stamp. The colors are limited to magenta, dark and light green, and black.

The hand-lettered title fills the page: 1.Feb. Hourly Comic Day, one picture per hour.
