Hourly Comics Day 2026

I drew a comic for my every waking hour on February 8th

Hourly Comics Day was last week! I’m normally fast but this year I drew my comics fast, even for me. Like truly scribbled most of them out in 30 seconds. I appreciate that the task of HCD - draw a journal comic every waking hour of your day – asks us to be loose, have fun and let go.

Interested in making your own journal comics? I’m teaching a micro-memoir retreat in Spain this fall, along with award-winning authors Molly Wizenberg and Nadine Kenney Johnstone! Read all about it here and sign up here.

Now, on to my hourlies:

Thanks for being here,

❤️ Hal

Notes:

• Tiny True Stories: A Micro Memoir Retreat and my newsletter about the retreat.

• My hourly comics were drawn with the Kuretake Bimoji Brush Pen - Fine

• Best Lowly Worm Book Ever - Max & Nora are obsessed and chant Lowleh! Lowleh! at bedtime every night.

• The Epstein Files Book Club podcast by Elise Hu and Jena Freidman. I love both these women and this pod is a good way to dip in and stay informed without being swallowed by a rabbit hole of darkness.

• A nice thing to do: Call your representatives and beg them to stop one of the many, many evil things the government is doing.

• Read hourly comics from: Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell, Debi Gliori, Emily Fishman, Marnie Galloway, Claire Keane, ND Stevenson, Vera Brogsol and Lucy Knisely
