On October 20th, 2007,
cartoonists around the world will face the 24 hour
comics challenge. To help these cartoonists, comic book
stores (like Elfsar Comics & Toys), educational
institutions, libraries, businesses, and comics clubs
will host special 24 Hour Comics Day events. They'll
provide cartoonists with a space to work, access to food
and drink, and camaraderie.

to create in a supportive environment with the influence and
reference of comics all around you.
Weather

important thing is to try.
