On October 18th, 2008,
cartoonists around the world faced the 24 hour
comics challenge. To help these cartoonists, comic book
stores (like Elfsar Comics & Toys), educational
institutions, libraries, businesses, and comics clubs
host special 24 Hour Comics Day events. We
provide cartoonists with a space to work, access to food
and drink, and camaraderie.

You can be a part of
that evolvement! Elfsar Comics & Toys has been a proud sponsor of this annual event since it's
inception. We welcome and encourage all interested parties to
take a chance and 'give it a go' as this is a unique opportunity
to create in a supportive environment with the influence and
reference of comics all around you.
Weather
you are an active artist, writer or not, it doesn't matter. The
important thing is to try.
Below you will find the
2008 requirements at
our location. We will have news of the 2009 event soon.
