GREETINGS TRUE BELIEVER! Every year when the moon is full and the last of the pumpkins have been harvested from the pumpkin cannon fields, elite members of the Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians (the C.L.A.W.) gather in a tiny comic book store to compete in a world-wide comic book drawing endurance marathon--24 Hour Comic Day--quite literally to the death. The older a cartoonist gets, the more laborious and mystical the experience. Don't believe me? Read for yourself the wonderment contained in these omnibuses of doom! With every page turn journey with the author down that shadowy road between madness and glory. By the twenty-fourth hour you don't want to be around to smell the result. Excelsior.
