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.
As for ...
Panel By Panel: Workshop Week - 'Ripping Off King Arthur'
hpkomic at 9:18AM, June 7, 2024Forced Together
Banes at 12:00AM, June 6, 2024
A tried and true story trope is the “forced together”.
I think it was the director Sidney Lumet who said that he really enjoyed the tension that came from
this kind of situation. Taking two people who would never choose to be together are stuck in
a bad situation. It ...

Making Amends
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 1, 2024
So your villain has just made a heel-face turn and is now one of the good guys. Yay!
…not so fast!
The moment where an antagonist turns on their own side and joins that of the protagonists is extremely powerful. But unless it is part of the overall story's ...

Banes at 12:00AM, May 30, 2024
badum-tsss
I thought the first time I appreciated comedy that was “bad on purpose”, it was Fred Willard in Best in Show.

Becoming the Beast
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 25, 2024
Humans can be scary, fascinating, mysterious creatures. Humanity is capable of the most amazing feats of compassion and the most debased acts of cruelty. And not necessarily at opposing ends of the spectrum. The same person can be compassionate in one context and appallingly cruel in another. They may not ...
Driftin'
Banes at 12:00AM, May 23, 2024
One story structure, that ozoneocean and I talked about many years ago on the Quackcast, was the Lone Protagonist as drifter.
In Pulp Fiction, Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) says talks about leaving the life of crime to walk the Earth. “Like Kane in Kung Fu. Help people, get in adventures ...
Quackcast 688 - Artistic Evolution
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, May 21, 2024 LISTEN on our player!

How and why does your creativity change over time? It “evolves”.
