Cool idea: '24 Hours of Women Cartoonists'

When you have some time today, I urge you to scoot over to The Beat for a special daylong feature the site calls "24 Hours of Women Cartoonists."

Editor Heidi MacDonald explains: "Women's History month is wrapping up, but we don't feel we celebrated it properly, so for the next 24 hours most of the Beat staff is collaborating on '24 Hours of Women Cartoonists' to spotlight some of our favorite creators."

It's only 1 p.m., and 13 talented women have already been profiled, including Jennifer Hayden, Colleen Coover and Michelle Czajkowski (above is an image from her webcomic, Ava's Demon).

I love this idea, particularly because several of the artists are new to me. Catch all of the profiles at http://comicsbeat.com/tag/24-hours-of-women-cartoonists.
