Last year on February 1, I learned about Hourly Comics Day. On this day, comic artists are invited to draw a comic every hour — a diary, of sorts.
I excitedly added a reminder for Feb 1, 2026, so I could participate next time.
However, when the reminder popped up, I realised I would be flying across time zones that day, making my day 32 hours long, spent mostly in airports and on planes.
How boring.
I tried anyway, drawing some little comics every hour. But as the day went on, I realised that I didn’t have anything very exciting to share, and there are only so many ways I can draw the experience of hurtling through the sky in a metal tube.
So, I gave up. But at least I have this comic to show for the process.
(After I drew this, I learned that Hourly Comics Day actually shifted to February 8th this year. Oops!)
