I promise, this is not going to be another opportunity for me to take a shot at Game of Thrones.
In fact, this time I'm seeking to use the example to illustrate another way to approach suspense and intensify the engagement of your audience with the story and the ...

In an ancient civilization on Earth, humans had a stronger connection to insects, especially the giant butterfly, and nature.

The original story of the Dark Crystal was released in 1982 by the Jim Henson company. It was a viewing staple for many children who are now adults with a dark, yet hopeful storyline. It was a story about balance with the mystic Urus contrasted against the devious Skesis. There ...

Cooperation vs. Competition in Comics
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 24, 2019
Ozoneocean suggested this topic, and I am intrigued to explore it.
I've made a good few posts about assorted drama in the comic world, especially between different factions and concerning different approaches to the art. Often that is addressed from a strictly ideological point of view. But today I ...

Recently I saw a performance of the Muppets' band “The Electric Mayhem” from 2009. Pretty great!
It occurred to me how many years have passed since the heyday of the Muppet Show in the late 1970's. The fact that this young-ish audience was so excited about this show said ...
“I Dig the New MJ”

While talking about the latest Spiderman: Far from Home movie, one of my friend’s first reactions to the film have been mostly positive with, “I dig the new MJ” being one of the comments.

I'm not sure how well known this show is these days; it's been a LONG time since it was popular (of course, I know ...
