Started by Scott McCloud in 1990, the challenge is simple: start and finish your comic within 24 hours. No pre-planned plots or character sketches allowed, and all breaks count! There is no cost to participate; this program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
