I have a new story out in this anthology, published today. It’s about bins. And death. But largely bins. I am a parody of myself.

Rachael Smith @rachaelsmith.bsky.social · 6mo ago

It's Hourly Comics Day! Here's 7am - 9am #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicsday #hourlies

A comic about Rachael's 7am. She has a dream about dogs and is woken up by her cat and son.

A comic about Rachael's 8am. Rob makes coffee, she reads with her son Henry, and they make brunch plans.

A comic about Rachael's 9am. Rob does some DIY up the chimney. Henry plays with lego. Rachael gets dressed.

Bex Ollerton @schnumn.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I bought a physical sketchbook for the first time this decade and I have some feelings about it #HourlyComicDay #HCD #Hourlies

A two panel comic. In the first panel, Bex is holding up a sketchbook. She says, "I bought a physical sketchbook even though I hate drawing traditionally." The second panel is a close-up of Bex's grumpy face. She says, "Like, REALLY hate it."

A continuation from the previous comic. A tiny Bex is stood on a giant Sketchbook with a giant iPad behind her. she says, "I fucking hate that gen AI makes me doubt the value of my digital work now. Seriously, who gives a shit?"

A continuation from the previous page. A hand double taps a surface with two fingers, this is how you undo a line in Procreate. The text reads: My digital art is clean to a fault, something I've spent the last few years trying to unlearn. Is a wobbly line more authentic than a smooth line? Can you feel the artist through the tremors of their work?

A continuation from the previous page. A large panel that's mostly black, with some semi abstract white forms scattered about. They look like leaves or flowers, but it's not specific. The text reads: But it takes a lot of effort and study to daw a smooth line, even if it's digital. Is that effort not also authentic?

Deadly Knitshade @deadlyknitshade.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I don't know if it's #hourlycomicday or #hourlycomicsday but here's a couple of hours that took me a couple of hours. Oh how I love making comics.

The NAP COMIX Kickstarter closes TOMORROW so if you've been thinking about pre-ordering my new book please do it soon! It includes the 1st year's worth of comics from the webcomic, as well as LOADS of exclusive content. Please take a look here: tinyurl.com/napcomixks Thank you! (& please share!)

A list of reward tiers from the NAP COMIX Kickstarter DIGITAL - £7, PHYSICAL - £13, SIGNED & SKETCHED IN - £20

What's in the book? 200 pages of wonder, sleep deprivation, heartbreak, joy, surviving and thriving.

A 5-panel comic. Panel 1) The 4am feed with Henry can feel very lonely. Panel 2) I try to think of others that are also awake at that time like...nocturnal animals? Panel 3) Students studying for a test? Panel 4) And of course, people doing the same thing as me. Panel 5) When I think about them, I feel much less alone.

A 2-panel comic. Panel 1) Caption: A few months ago. Henry is stroking Rachael's face. Rachael: Aaaaa Rob, he's stroking my face! Rob: (off-screen) Aw! Panel 2) Caption: Now. Henry is pulling Rachael's face in very uncomfortable-looking ways. Rachael looks non-plussed.
