I'm journaling/comic-ing daily and was writing about the sacredness of the process yesterday! I was trying to put a finger on what exactly makes it sacred... you describe it so well!

From Same Day Different Shit to holding the literal shit of your babies! 🥲 Love your daily comics and am inspired to try this myself!

Falling in love via comics collaboration is just the greatest thing I've ever heard. Artistic collaboration in any format is one of the best things in this life.

Kate, I can’t get to your profile.

I’d like to try this, but will likely do things through the eyes of animals, as it’s what gives me most pleasure. Like we were asked in my Korean class to decorate a clock with what we do in a day and I used my cat, 나리 (nah-ree) to stand in for me. I want to follow everyone doing these. Will be fun to see all the different approaches. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a beautiful idea! I journal everyday but I want to try making a small comic everyday too now, you've inspired me!

> Making art about everyday life is a gesture of love. It’s how I celebrate the miracle of my existence, of our collective existence

I love this! Diary comics are so incredible at helping me to connect with my day, myself, and others when shared. I’ve been sharing them weekly on here, and it’s bringing me a lot of joy.

So cool you met your husband through these! I met my partner through working together in the arts, as well, and we still collaborate on curatorial projects and giant crochet wall hangings made from upcycled clothing and bedding https://hannahmarchsanders.com/category/professional-work/fibers-and-installation/

Love your drawings

Ben Snakepit also has done daily journal comics since 2001.

And after 10 years of doing a daily journal comic, I decided to take a break. Still plan to do hourly comic day though.

You are right, comics can change your life!

I'm in! But it's now 7 Jan. I will be kind to myself and not do the last 7 days! What day in the week do we post?

Hallie Bateman's avatar

I’m posting Tuesdays! You could post daily or anytime that works!

And you could always go into Feb and make it a clean thirty days! But up to you :-)
