(Usually comics are rather difficult to read aloud.) So there are bits that might be slightly wordy, but I was doing that to try to make it read better. It was an experiment, so see if you think it works! \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_01_zpsd7f23d50-91b3aef5d4.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_03_zps928ccf8a-b7e7b1655b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003C!--more Click here for more under the cut!-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_04_zps5582c176-deb04002f6.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_05_zps65c12b1c-51afd61a1d.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_06_zpsb54c6856-a5e98b669b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_07_zpsaea5680f-39a07a9632.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_08_zps9957d9e4-a4da9f5601.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_09_zpse36bcd62-857e813659.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_10_zps3cf0bdd0-ebc67c3472.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_11_zps75c042c3-e32cfe31b7.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_12_13_zpsbde68c85-a697cdfe9b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_14_zps6e1b9124-c07406c593.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_15_zps6eafe2e1-f9e7e0a0e5.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_16_zps71594816-02c1ccc342.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_17_zpsb2eecb94-6024d6f521.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_18_zps55f29e80-78712fbb3b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_19_zps7d251f37-d4096d55ab.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_21_zps9abf049c-2b427a3dfd.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_20_zps1134efb3-3b4c04202b.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_22_zpsf97df913-02981b3d62.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_23_zpsd3351323-eea03c0c10.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/scribble_24_zps2003cde0-2b60790793.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\\r\nTa-DAH! Thank you for reading! I'll blog more about the event and creating process soon, but big thanks to \u003Ca href=\"http://scottmccloud.com/\">Scott McCloud\u003C/a>, who set the original \u003Ca href=\"http://www.scottmccloud.com/4-inventions/24hr/index.html\">24-Hour Comic challenge\u003C/a>, and came all the way from the USA to give the festival a boost and pop his head into the room a couple times with his wife, \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ivyratafia\">Ivy\u003C/a>, to cheer us on. Here we are in the \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/PageFortyFive\">Page 45\u003C/a> room with the six other creators who were working on their own books along with me through the night (from left): \u003Ca href=\"http://www.jackteagle.co.uk/\">Jack Teagle\u003C/a> (\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jackteagle\">@jackteagle\u003C/a>), \u003Ca href=\"http://www.kristyna.co.uk/\">Kristyna Baczynski (\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/kbaczynski\">@kbaczynski\u003C/a>), \u003Ca href=\"http://warwickjohnsoncadwell.blogspot.co.uk/\">Warwick Johnson Cadwell\u003C/a> (\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/WarwickJC\">@WarwickJC\u003C/a>), Scott (\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/scottmccloud\">(@scottmccloud\u003C/a>), awesome coordinator \u003Ca href=\"http://www.thingsbydan.co.uk/\">Dan Berry\u003C/a> (\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/thingsbydan\">@thingsbydan\u003C/a>), \u003Ca href=\"http://www.fumioobata.co.uk/\">Fumio Obata\u003C/a> (\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FumioObata\">@FumioObata\u003C/a>), \u003Ca href=\"http://www.joedecie.com/\">Joe Decie\u003C/a> (\u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/joedecie\">@joedecie\u003C/a>) and me. Dan was amazing and worked with a local Kendal printer, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.absolutedigitalprint.com/\">Absolute Digital Print\u003C/a>, to roll out 50 copies of each book by that evening. (Wow!) I've sold out of my copies, but perhaps sometime I'll print some more.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/24hr_team4_zpsea91dba7-1646f71b00.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nOh, and did you notice that big crowd scene, when Jamie the scribble is on display at the art museum? I got some help with drawing the crowd from the amazing team of \u003Ca href=\"http://www.kendal.ac.uk/departments/arts-design-and-media/\">Kendal College\u003C/a> assistants who stuck with us through the night, in two shifts. A lot of the people were drawn by \u003Cb>Janet\u003C/b> (here with her sketchbook), who's ace.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/24hr_team2_zps7bf1e782-541f9c55c7.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd here are \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/Scarabiv\">Phil Welch\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FlowerToFlame\">Katie White\u003C/a>, who stayed with us through the WHOLE 24 HOURS and created an \u003Ca href=\"http://24hcm.wordpress.com/\">AMAZING BLOG\u003C/a>, tweeting as \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/24HCM\">@24hcm\u003C/a> and using the \u003Ca href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/24hcm?src=hash\">#24hcm hash tag\u003C/a>.
