Hourly Comics

Hello. My name is Bob, and these are one hour snippets of my life. I was introduced to this concept by reading Pictures for Sad Children, by John Campbell. He also writes an hourly comic for the entirety of January each year, and on the first of February he invites everyone to join. It's probably best to leave the description to him:

we will see how different people actually spend their day. some people will make beautiful comics, some ugly. some boring, some exciting. either way, there will be a lot of comics, and a lot of peeking into other people's lives.

My purposes for this are pretty vague, even to me. 

Most of my work these days is done on a tablet, and it's nice to employ pen and paper to make quick sketches. The idea is to get better as time goes on; this first day has me dusting off the hand-eye coordination cobwebs. 

I'm a college student, and I'm closing in on graduation, at which point I will become a Real Person. I want some sort of record of this last hurrah, even if it turns out to be 180 days of repetitive drivel. Who knows, maybe the fact that I'm writing all of it down will make me go on a few adventures to spice things up. One can hope.

My grandmother passed away last Saturday, and since then I've been more thoughtful than usual. Maybe I just want some sort of creative therapy. It's the same effect as talking something through with a psychiatrist, I suppose. Even if he says nothing, you feel better for having said it out loud.

That all said, I hope you enjoy these, if that's what you're here for. I think I will enjoy making them.
