Hello, everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck. As we established last time, this week we'll be going over the community feedback on a webcomic page provided by a volunteer. I'll also share my thoughts as well.

Panel By Panel: Workshop Week - 'The KAMics' II
hpkomic at 11:02AM, May 17, 2024An Itch to Scratch
Banes at 12:00AM, May 9, 2024
I first heard the phrase “an itch to scratch” from the creators/writers of Better Call Saul. When they were expanding and deepening the “Saul” character from Breaking Bad, they needed to change a comedic side character into a fully rounded lead character. And Vince Giligan said that an early ...
What is your major malfunction?

Damaged Heroes
A well written, standard Protagonist will generally have some flaws, starting out as an underdog of some kind, with lessons to learn and improvements to make over the course of the story.
Granted, some heroes are, well, just heroes, who are pretty much who they need to be ...

“Passing the mantle” is an interesting phrase. Many claim it comes from a biblical origin; the prophet Elijah was said to have passed his mantle to Elisha when he ascended to heaven, thereby symbolically transferring his authority ...

Panel By Panel: Who Will Be Our First Workshop Victim?
hpkomic at 12:00PM, April 19, 2024
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck. I had mentioned a couple of updates ago that I wanted to mix things up a bit and figured now was a good opportunity for that. So I am putting out a call ...
The Understudy Hero
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, April 18, 2024
There's nothing more shocking than when the hero dies …at the beginning.
