Starbucks is the world's largest coffeehouse chain, founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington. It started as a retailer of whole-bean and ground coffee, and it expanded into brewed coffee and espresso drinks after Howard Schultz joined the company in 1982 and later bought it in 1987. Today Starbucks operates tens of thousands of stores in more than 80 countries. Its menu includes espresso drinks, brewed coffee, teas, cold beverages, and food items, and it is known for customizable drink orders, its mobile app and rewards program, and its "third place" concept, which aims to offer a comfortable space between home and work. Is there something specific you'd like to know about Starbucks, such as its history, menu, business, or products?

Hi Kids!It's all over but the shoutin'! Or maybe there won't be any shoutin'...
Anyway, we have more finishers; well, one anyway.
Nate and "Insane".
I know, I'm confused, too, but then with Jeff, it's often confusing. It's his uniquely random methodology about 24 Hour Comics...
And here it is, The Final Shot:
And so another 24 Hour Comics Day has come and gone.
See ya next Year!

Hi Kids!
Boy Howdy, I'm gettin' punchy! Sleep deprivation does that...
But enough about me we have more finishers! I think this is a record.
First up, Julie, with "Black Sheep".
Next, Paco and "Boris Custer, Bounty Hunter". I really like that title. One just doesn't normally associate the name "Boris" with "Custer", or at least I don't.
That's all for now, stay tuned...

Whoo Hoo! We have another completion!
Here's Matt and his comic, "What a Day".

And yet another, Reed, who actually finished some time ago, but promptly went to sleep and we didn't find out about it until now.
They are finishing fast and furious now!
Here's Jessie and her "The Adventures of Heroman".
Alondra (AKA: Giggle Girl) and her entry, also the winner of the longest title, "Allie NoPants in 24 Hour Comic Day".
Gotta post this thing!

Hi Kids!
Night falls on 24 Hour Comic Day...
Here's some of what Jeff is doing. If you can, blow it up. The detail is amazing.
Things are begining to slow down now. The ranks are thinning as the night draws on (get it? "draws on"-- a drawing comic reference, heh-heh)...
The music is much less cacaphonous and eyelids are getting heavy. Not mine, of course...

She donated a whole buncha stuff, and not just chips, either. Lunch meat and cheese and two loaves of bread, and all sorts of confections for our vigil. Thanks, Melissa!
Thanks also to Starbucks on the corner of Broadway and Lomas for their kind donation of sugar and sweeteners for our coffee and teas...
As promised, I have pictures:
