Open 24 Hours · No. 3

Look Big

The after-dark comic from Hooray News. New every night at midnight. October 23, 2026.

Open 24 Hours, One Trip. Bob the muscular rhino offers to help a skinny ninja cowboy named Sam carry about thirty grocery bags. Sam says a cowboy makes one trip, staggers to a front door loaded with bags, eggs in his hat and a watermelon under his chin, and collapses inside under the pile. A moth in a pink bathrobe says, Sam, you don't live here. Sam answers, I do now.

Open 24 Hours, Respect. At sunrise on a lake, Bob tells Sam he forgot bait. Sam says fish come to him out of respect. Hours later nothing bites; Sam says they're preparing. Then his rod bends and dozens of fish leap into the rowboat on their own, sinking it. Bob bails water: Sam, that's too much respect! Sam: No such thing. In the distance a tiny grandmother rows past towing a cruise ship.

Open 24 Hours, Look Big. At a night campsite a bear rears up. Bob the muscular rhino whispers make yourself look big. Skinny Sam stands on a stump with his arms out and says I'm enormous. The terrified bear backs away while staring past them. Sam says never doubt the hat, while behind him a tiny grandmother holds an entire uprooted pine tree, roasting a marshmallow on its tip.

Rhinoceros Bob lifts. Sam the Ninja Cowboy believes. Linda the Moth has seen it all, and Nana Deadlift is 94. A strange little comic from Hooray News, new every night at midnight. Also from Hooray News: Proof Positive, every morning.
