Should we maintain our own index of online 24-hour comics here? Scott McCloud's doesn't look like it's been updated for years.

I don't see how we could, since McCloud is the only authoritative source for identifying them. All we'd have would be an arbitrarily-selected (and potentially very long) list of pointers, which is contrary to the "Wikipedia is not a collection of links" principle. Tverbeek 7 July 2005 14:17 (UTC)
Should add the "hourly comic day" effort in the Similar challenges section? Link: http://hourlycomic.com/hourlycomicday.html Seems a pretty similar-minded idea, even if it differs on some crucial aspects (time, rules, focus)... Geno-Supremo ( talk) 18:02, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Article says "To be officially recognised as a "24 hour comic" or a "noble failure", the cartoonist is required to submit a copy of the resultant comic to Scott McCloud.", but http://scottmccloud.com/4-inventions/24hr/dare/index.html now says "When you're done, feel free to send me a photocopy (or link, in the case of webcomics), but it's no longer one of the rules". Any idea of when sending-copy-to-Scott was dropped from rules list? -- EarthFurst ( talk) 21:32, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Given that this article deals largely with 24 hour comics events, it seems to me that it should be categorized with Category:Cartooning events. However, I have a large WP:COI on this and will not do that myself; I leave it to others to consider whether that is appropriate and, if so, to make that addition. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 16:31, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks to @ Stoshmaster: for some recent expansion of the article. There are a couple of points where some rewording might hone the accuracy even further:

If I didn't have a COI on this page, I'd definitely be reworking the "Europe and beyond" header; what is "beyond" Europe depends on where one is standing, a very literal WP:POV situation. Let us not be Amerocentric. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 21:43, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
