Page 100 project

Jason Turner came up with the page 100 project,

So ages ago, Dave Howard suggested to me that it might be an interesting idea for cartoonists to try adapting a part of a novel they liked. And then recently when JD Sallinger died, that notion came back to me, and then I thought oh it might be interesting to attempt to do a comic of some portion of one of his books. And as I sat on the couch staring at the shelves of books, I thought it might be fun to try it with different books. Maybe just a page. Maybe the SAME PAGE from each book.
So basically you get a book, flip to the 100th page and translate that one page into one page of comics. Could be good to try this for our next challenge? How much time would people need to complete one page, is one week enough?

  1. I'm about to start the serious part of my travels to WA and only have my copy of Hicksville, a book I've never read and a a copy of Keats poetry... I could try - but I don't know if it'll fall in the deadline!

  2. Great idea. Can anyone submit a page? Please post the deadline when it's been decided.
