24-Hour Comics Day is an annual international celebration of comics creation. On this day, creative folks take on the 24 hour comics challenge: to create a 24 page comic book story, normally months worth of work, in 24 straight hours. Minneapolis participants gathered at the MN Center for Book Arts, while others take part in private gatherings, and many work on their own.

Every year since 2004 this event has taken place. The thousands of participants who have created tens of thousands of pages of original art have included the young and the old, people with decades of professional comics creation experience and those who have never tried to draw a panel before, at locations on at least five continents.

Five current MFA students were in participation as well as one alum of the program. The event was presented by the Minneapolis Cartoonist Conspiracy and pizza was provided courtesy of The Source Comics & Games.
