Experienced webcomics editor, currently seeking full-time work and working on strange and interesting new things...
24-Hour Comics Day was pretty exciting. We'll have a two-part "Meanwhile" up about it fairly soon. Probably the highlight in terms of human interest came when a slight, distraught twentysomething woman barged in and asked to use my cell phone to call an ambulance for her boyfriend, who'd just done a barrel roll in his minivan and might have punctured a lung.
Later, we wondered exactly how HE had gotten in touch with HER-- without calling "Emergency" himself. Well, *I* wondered. Dave and the others were a bit more worldly and quickly concluded "DUI." So
we might have been willfully sleep-deprived, but
he was going to wake up in the hospital and then likely go to jail.
We also noticed that two out of the three 24-hour comics artists (all guys) seemed to have beautiful redheaded significant others. A small statistical sample to be sure, but it makes you think, eh?
