Hourly Comics Day 2025

Hourly Comics Day 2025 published on No Comments on Hourly Comics Day 2025

This year’s Hourly Comics! A bit messy because I was so busy, but remembering that hanging out with people who enjoy your company is important. Posting this for Tuesday comics this week, hope you enjoy! All my previous hourlies can be read right here~ (2022’s is NSFW)

A badly drawn comic for "Make a Terrible Comic Day 2025" on "June 24, 2025" The comic is drawn traditionally with a black ink and no undersketch. We can see the edges of the paper. Narration reads "While out doing groceries, a true story" where Jey, a nonbinary person wearing a ball cap, a black t-shirt, shorts and big square glasses. They're holding two boxes of pastries in their hands while saying "Chocolatines? Or croissants?" the pastries are 50% off. Jey decides "Croissants today!" then turns around to leave. They're stopped by an elderly man in a wheelchair who points to the croissants and says "I wanted those!" to which Jey holds them out and says "AH! Please take them then!" the man in the wheelchair suddenly looks bashful and says "Oh no, I was joking!" and Jey shyly replies "Ooh. Okay." with an awkwardness between the two of them. Narration reads "An 8am, 40°C day fumble."

Hey did you know it’s Make A Terrible Comic Day? Here’s a fumble that happened to me this morning. It was so hard going straight to inks, I need an undersketch!!! I also didn’t do any edits to the page, this is how it looks straight from my scanner.

Comic page, the comic is titled "Fujiko Caught in a Trap" by Max Parker and Jey Pawlik. The comic is slightly cartoony with watercolour tones in greens, browns and a bright blue. Fujiko and Lady Ginko after the Lupin III Part 1 episode "Lupin Caught in a Trap", the two women are dancing around money floating to the ground as the two are very dishevelled with rips in their clothes. The two transition in a new car and Fujiko angrily says "That was a dirty trick." Lady Ginko smiles sweetly at her and replies "But the money's all ours now." Ginko holds up one of the bills excitedly and we zoom in on the bill which has clearly been forged - a Lupin smiles at them from the bill.
