I still didn't spend more than one hour on most of the pages (when I draw normal comics I spend 6-8 hours on a page), so I guess I can still call it a "fast and furious 24h comic" (a grossly extended Eastman variation) ... It's of course inspired by the Fast and Furious films, which I love to pieces. I got the first ideas for this story a while back when I first saw the films. After Paul Walker's untimely death I marathon-watched all the films again, and when I sat down to draw this year's 24h comic, it was clear that this had to be it. I really don't know anything about cars, especially not engines. I don't even have a driver's licence. (Though I've played a few racing simulator computer games in my time!!!) Due to the time limits of the 24h comic format I couldn't do very extensive research, either. So all the car stuff sucks. But if the nice people working on the F&F franchise would like to adapt this comic into a movie where all the technical stuff would be much more accurate, that would be awesomepants. V^(oo)^V Since I like to whine about how Joann Sfar has basically only one female love interest character in his comics (Zlabya/Chava/Chagall's girlfriend/the Greek girl in Vampir), everybody can now also whine about how I myself basically have only one male love interest character in my comics, as Karim clearly provides the missing link between Ting Yay and Aeron! Yay! The cars
