Nathan and I have tried this five times between the two of us, and we&#8217;ve been discussing techniques to succeed over the last year.<\/p>\n<p>Then a drunk guy manning a comics booth at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.subzerofestival.com\/\">Sub Zero<\/a> festival overheard us saying that and said we should put on a tutorial. And since we have a policy of always following the advice of random drunk guys when it sounds like they are serving as a hotline for God, we said OK!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=1269\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1269\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/blitzcomics-birth.png\" alt=\"The Birth of Blitz Comics\" title=\"blitzcomics-birth\" width=\"600\" height=\"845\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/blitzcomics-birth.png 600w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/blitzcomics-birth-284x400.png 284w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/blitzcomics-birth-568x800.png 568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Our work has produced a pretty nice <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blitzcomics.com\/go\/content\/resources\">24 Hour Comics Day Survival Kit<\/a> which is now <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.newsok.com\/nerdage\/2011\/09\/22\/24-hour-comics-day-qa-with-comicspro-executive-director-amanda-emmert\/\">getting distributed to a lot of 24 Hour Comics venues<\/a>.
