This Quackcast is a sequel to our Quackcast last week on alternative character growth, but instead of Star Wars this time we decided on Indiana Jones. It's a really interesting creative writing exercise, we think up ...

Last week we focused on character growth VS tropes to run characters but Tantz had the idea to look at alternative growth for characters who did NOT grow well (after the original trilogy). So in this Quackcast ...
October Arrives
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 28, 2023
I've always loved Autumn - and we're in it now, in my part of the world. To be honest, it's just beginning to come in, so I'm anticipating the leaves turning into those beautiful oranges and yellows (and all the variations therin), before they begin piling up ...

Today we're talking about STAR TREK! Star Trek is a pretty influential piece of pop-culture. Most interesting to me is that it's a future that is NOT a dystopia. It's a large scale vision ...
Subtly Subjective
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 14, 2023
On a recent Quackcast episode here on the duck, Ozoneocean made an interesting point about some older raunchy comedies.
The point was that in some of these movies, the female characters were presented a certain way, maybe not as three-dimensional as the male characters, or maybe came across more sexual ...

Our topic this week is making your characters individual, distinct and setting them apart through physical traits. In many mainstream superhero comics or manga the only difference between most characters is their outfit, hair, and skin tone ...
