In 1990, Scott McCloud invented the 24-hour comic. The challenge - to conceive and create a 24-page story within 24 consecutive hours. In 2004,Mr. Ladyboy began his 72 hour comic and since then a rivalry has begun. 100! 168! 175! Today, as a matter of honour, I will begin a 200 hour comic.

That's 200 pages to be drawn in 200 consecutive hours. 8 days and 8 hours. I will sleep a bit each night, as well as doing other necessary stuff. But each day, I'll spend AT LEAST 14 SOLID HOURS with a pencil or a brush in my hand, sketching out ideas or putting them to paper.

I'm gonna do the best damn job I can.

As I need to ensure that the comic isn't just an idea I already made up (and also to help stimulate me) please send 4 words to: 200@aciddica.com. I'll try to incorporate these words, maybe using them as a title, maybe using them to spark an element of the story.

Don't worry about what words you send me - whatever you send, it'll help this record-breaking attempt.

P.S. Once it's begun, you'll be able to keep track of the progress on my site. Yep, I'll be using those 10 hours for sleep, toilet-using, eating, a bit of exercise and blogging.

Stay funky - Bez
