Hourly Comic Day, established by artist John Campbell in 2005, is an annual creative marathon where participants draw a comic panel for every hour they are awake on February 1st. Similarly, the 24-Hour Comic Day challenge, popularized by Scott McCloud, pushes creators to finish a full 24-page story in a single day. These events have evolved into a massive internet tradition where artists share the mundane, hilarious, and often exhausting reality of their daily lives. In the meme world, these templates are frequently used to showcase the 'expectation vs. reality' of creative work, tracking an artist's mental state as they move from morning enthusiasm to sleep-deprived chaos by the final panels.
