23h (11 pm). I'm honestly just standing in a white void for this one. "Oh yeah", I realise, "I guess I should take a lesson from all this, huh?" I ponder. "Uuuh what did I learn today? Hyenas are pretty cool; they get a bad rap. Luck is totally real; you can't know Fire and not believe in it. GO VOTE!!; keeps away the fascists! But most importantly:" and I point my index finger right toward the reader, "never underestimate comic artists. They will kick your butt." The frame pans away from me, and I wave. "For now, goodbye. See you next Hourly Comic Day. (Maybe. If my hand's stopped hurting by then.)" THE END!!

and that's them all!! thank you for sticking with me. lots of respect for everyone who actually does this on time! see you next year!!

22h (10 pm). I panic. "Oh I completely forgot today's Wordle!!" Enzo and I got into the habit of racing Wordle. They weren't there, but I still tried to get it faster (which I did >:) ). I look at my victorious game (HOURS, CABIN, REBEL, EMBED) with a mischievous grin. I discuss it on call with Baba. "You know", I comment, "I can totally see Fire guessing EMBER right before EMBED." I pause. Quickly, I look up Fire's game. It's just EMBER, EMBED. "How do you do this", I ask her. Fire simply shrugs.

she's done this like five or six times i swear

feat. Baba @baba-dat-person.bsky.social and Fire @cartoon-fire.bsky.social!! plus Enzo is mentioned again hi Ezno!!

21h (9 pm). For dinner we have THINGS. "Things" is what we call a bunch of loose sandwich ingredients, basically. There is bread, cheese, paio (like a thinly-sliced sausage), scrambled eggs with bacon and some really long crackers. The TV shows the electoral results, which Left-Wing Guy having won 66.7% of the vote and the vast majority of municipalities. "Left-Wing Guy beat the record set in 1991 to become the most-voted candidate in Portuguese democracy", the anchor announces. I take a bit out of one of the really long crackers, but it breaks much further from my mouth than I had expected.

the parts in grey haven't voted yet. did i mention we were just hit by five storms in a row?

20h (8 pm). My dad points out the screen of his computer, which shows a countdown. "Oh, look! The ballots are about to close in the Azores." When the countdown ends, the projection announced is "Left-Wing Guy WINS". My dad smiles; I cheer. As we turn to each other, I proclaim that "we all knew this would happen."

18h to 19h (6 to 7 pm, don't). The entire comic is just me grooving along to several Weird Al songs in different ways. I feel very emotional and a single tear slides down my cheek as I recite the attractions the family have visited in "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota". I furiously shake my head as I listen to "You Make Me". I feel very groovy as I hear the initial, Spanish-language part of "Taco Grande". I wildly wiggle my tongue as I desperately attempt to sing the bridge of "Hardware Store".

OY GEVALT I'M SO VERKLEMPT THAT I COULD PLOTZ

18h to 19h

17h (5 pm). I sit at my drawing tablet. "Finally home to make hourlies. I should be done in a jiffy!" I think. The frame moves back, to show me drawing the previous panel. Then further, until a full comic is visible, showing scenes of me enjoying such activities as: slipping on a banana peel; driving off a cliff; and going to space. The final panel shows me faceplanting on the drawing tablet. This is way harder than I thought.

drawing a comic about how drawing comics is hard by drawing a separate, fake comic within the real comic

16h (4 pm). "Second Round of Presidential Election Day", a graphic reads, as I lie down in front of it brandishing a vote. I walk up to the voting table and hand them my ID; they look up my name on their binders. In the booth, I consider my options: "left-wing guy, seems okay" and "racist fascist POS". I stare at the viewer as I insert my ballot in the box.

yes i wore my umbert shirt to the ballot. i figured the little guy would like to see

A nature documentary plays on TV. "The leopard and the hyena join forces in an unlikely alliance and work together to hunt at night," the narration explains, as the image shows them cooperating to catch an impala. Later, the leopard is on top of a tree while the hyena confronts some foes on the ground below; "as the leopard is sieged on a tree by a pack of wild dogs, the hyena distracts them so it may escape." My grandmum interjects, standing by me as I sit on an armchair. "Oh dear", she says, "how can you watch this? Hyenas are evil, evil beasts. Do you know how I know?" A close-up of her face. "Because they're UGLY."

sorry if the subtitles are really small, it was a little hard for me to get a feel for it. it's all in the alt text if you need it :)

14h (2 pm). Lunch at Grandmum's, a Sunday classic. My dad, my mum, my grandmum and I are all sitting around the dinner table, eating spaghetti and steak. A close-up of the pot reveals that she made both black and white spaghetti, for some reason. As we're chatting, I very smartly immediately blurt out a quip about politics. Everyone ignores me, and my mum and grandmum instead start arguing over the finale of MasterChef Portugal (which aired the previous night).

funnily enough one of the tells that my mum's getting upset is that she starts rolling her Rs

13h (1 pm). Snippets of my "morning" routine. I finally get out of bed at 13:08. I look in the mirror and admire my hair. I go to kitchen and sip some milk. I turn on my laptop and chat with Enzo about Talking Heads.

Enzo is @enzozzle.bsky.social!!

10h (10 am). My alarm clock starts to beep. I turn around in bed, and woozily lift arm onto the snooze button. I turn back. A minute passes. Then three hours.

1h (1 am). I work at my drawing tablet on some unseen project, and I look exhausted. "This is the only art thing I've worked on for days now..." I think. "I NEED to do something else." I think for a moment and get an idea: setting up a little Discord stream so I can showcase a different project and chat with people... and then i streamed until 3h.

1h to 3h

a little practice animation of @cartoon-fire.bsky.social's Umbert Actually OC Job Growth uttering his famous catchphrase!!

#UnionYaoi #UmbertActually #goopsarts #goopsanims

A 3D clay figurine of Umbert Actually from "Umbert Actually!", standing with one hand behind his back and the other pointing up, preparing to teach you some factoid.

The same figurine but seen from the back. The hand he previously hid can now be seen.

Close-up on the hidden hand, showing his small paper wedding ring. That hand came out really well btw I'm really proud of it

I feel like art's been a bit slow on my side, so have this figurine I made of Umbert a while ago and never posted! Air-dry clay and construction paper. I had a blast translating his design into 3D (just uhhh don't look at him from any other angles)
