24-Hour Comics Day is an event held around the world which challenges writers and artists to create a full 24-page comic in 24 consecutive hours.
This dare was introduced by Scott Mc Cloud in 1990

Of course you can do this dare any day you want - but every year (usually in October) there are organized challenges over the World - check twitter.com/24hcdgr
This Year 2012, it's October, 20th.
Note this dare will push you to the limit (both physically and mentally) - after you get the topic you'll have to invent a story, write the dialogs, then draw 24 pages continuously - and to tell the truth in the end, you will feel very shaky, delirious and probably hungry. But the feeling of having made a full 24 pages comics is overwhelming.
