    الفكرة بدأت من مشروع عصف ذهني لصنع كوميك في 24 ساعة. بطبيعة الحال فكرة مثل كذا ماراح تكون كل نتايجها حلوة. الجزء الاول من الكتاب كان اربع اوخمس قصص قصيرة. افضل قصة كانت عن حلم. اسلوب الرسم ان مناسب لشرح قصة حلم لكن الاحداث؟ مو واضحة وما أعرف اذا ممكن هذا مقصود عشان الاحلام بالاحداث مو واضحة ومنطقية (؟)
    ما أتوقع اكمل باقي الاجزاء

    The fact that this book was written in 24 hours makes it so raw and fucking awesome, it's hilarious, witty, surreal, bizarre!! My favorite one has to be that part about the kid and the parents with the weird love chair!! Lovely!!

    It's always interesting to see what David Chelsea can create in 24 hours. My favorite work in this volume is "The Girl with the Keyhole Eyes" (which Chelsea redid for Dark Horse Presents). It's a story where Chelsea keeps on describing the girl in question, only to change his mind every other page or so as to who the girl really was (a grandmother, an underground comics character, a former girlfriend, etc...) I also liked the "Snow Angel" story, featuring a young super-heroine who gets her powers when she makes (of course) snow angels. Some of the other works were interesting, although Chelsea can pump up the surrealistic, dream-like quality of his stories to something nearly unfathomable. Recommended if you like Chelsea or want to see some examples of 24 hour comics.
