Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times

Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well:

did more physical activity, drove more and did a bunch of new things on my own, actually made a lot of friends at work and met more mutuals irl, got more into my hobbies that aren't drawing, helped my family a lot this year with a lot of emergencies, interviewed for a promotion and got it!!! PHEW!!
January 2, 2026 at 8:29 AM
some highlights: helped run a sketch night program where I moderated and taught tweens/teens monthly, went back to school and have finished two semesters already, did an art mentorship, attended and spoke at local community hearings AND called my reps and sent them postcards-

while I was going through my art I was also reflecting on the last year and even though it was really challenging and difficult for a number of reasons (and ya know...the state of the world at All Times) there's actually A LOT that I got done and am super proud of ;;_;;
January 2, 2026 at 8:29 AM
art was hard this year (as it is every year lol...) but i think it had to do more with like "growing pains" as I developed my style vs it being hard because I wasn't enjoying it. I really enjoyed drawing this year!! I'm enjoying being self-indulgent :')
January 2, 2026 at 8:29 AM
big fan of an ambient glow this year ... didn't think i'd have something for every month...yayyy
January 2, 2026 at 8:18 AM
