I fell behind on this year's attempt almost instantly, so this is my second attempt and inks were done a day after, which I know isn't keeping in the spirit of HCD, but maybe next year I'll be loads quicker...

Love it, Marc. Your hourlies are better than Ellerbisms because they're so concentrated and seemingly less edited.

Thanks guys!

Ellerbisms just got away from me towards the end, I had enough of it and I wasn't having fun and it felt laborious. If I were to do them again I'd make them shorter and punchier. 3 panels tops is all you need to tell a story sometimes.

Understandable about the time thing, but why not do it as three panels? I mean, Three Panel Soul exists and it's always only three panels. It's ultimately up to you but you're obviously getting a ton of support from other artists who want to see more. But, have fun with what you create, that makes for a more entertaining read no matter the subject matter.

JasmineP: It probably comes down to time more than anything, I'm not in the position I was 4 years ago when Ellerbisms really took off, I work more hours at my day job now and it doesn't leave enough time to do any comics let alone multiple projects.

I am working on a book of Ellerbisms and have drawn about 30 new pages for that. There's some details at http://www.ellerbisms.com
