It's on 6/24 and is a bunch of fun.
Make A Terrible Comic Day was spawned into this world through force by pseudonym jones on Bluesky on June 23rd, 2024. She stated plainly that Make A Terrible Comic Day was the very next day, on June 24th. And so it was and had always been, on June 24th.
The idea is simple: just make a comic! Then post it! Don’t worry about drawing it good or having a good story or shit. You are out here looking to make.
Here’s my comics for Make A Terrible Comic Day from last year and this year. First, the one from 2024:
I went the 4koma route thanks to a CSP preset I came across - and got two terrible comics out of it! It gave me a chance to test out CSP for making comics. Unfortunately, I got CSP4 this year and it doesn’t work with my drawing tablet. Welp! Now I’m using Affinity instead.
The comic I made this year got a bit out of hand. I had just got my hands on some RetroSupply stuff and a terrible comic was a great chance to go hog wild with it. So I did a late night story about Gex going to get himself a cold beverage from a gas station.
I was very proud of eyeballing those three Gex poses in front of the cold drink cases. They’re Boxart Gex on the left, Sonic Adventure Pose Gex in the center, and Checking To See If There’s One More Spike Energy Behind Another Drink Gex on the right. Also nailing the light change in the car when the engine shuts off. Gex stepping out of the car is terrible though. Amazing work for a terrible comic.
Here’s a few Bluesky tags you can browse through to see a bunch:
Look out for Make a Terrible Comic Day next year on June 24th, and remember to make a terrible comic!
