How do your hours go?

Since we’re speaking of webcomics tonight—and, really, when are we not?—I thought I’d mention that February 1st was 2010 Webcomics Hourlies day. Hourlies are journalistic comics drawn every hour to record an artist’s day—no matter how trivial or weird that day was. All over the internet, web comicists recorded every hour of their personal Feb 1st with a mini drawing, then posted them. I’m always amused by how even the most mundane activity (eating cereal! taking a shower! shopping for groceries! inking!) can seem funny and glamorous when depicted via comic.

The most successful are those drawn by artists who excel at dry, observational humor. Which ones stand out this year? Why, John Allison’s of Scary Go Round, Kate Beaton’s of Hark! A Vagrant!, Meredith Gran’s of Octopus Pie and Yuko/Ananth’s of Johnny Wander. Do check out John Allison’s, at the very least—it is excellent. Two hours of his day below:
