Hourly Comic Day 2021

Hi, all.

February 1st, 2021 was annual HOURLY COMIC DAY, and I’ve always wanted to participate — and this year, we also had a book to promote — so I did. First on Post-its®, then on a tablet I’ve been trying to get the hang of, and then back on Post-its®.

Cameos from Jennifer Wright, Zoom co-workers, and TV’s Lupin.

---

Princess Dinosaur illustrator, Ashley Quach, also (brilliantly, adorably) did her hourly comics as Princess Dinosaur — thread here.

Pick up Princess Dinosaur here or from a local bookstore near you — and find everything Ashley draws as Sassquach.com

P.S. As long as I’m announcing things, my wife, Jennifer Wright, and I are having a baby. It’s a girl and, probably, a dinosaur.
