Shake Hands With Danger

Guess what













Drunk Duck anniversary! In 2004, I begged my parents to let me make an account here, and on 6th I made one and uploaded a bunch of comics that I made for my friends here. Thankfully, some people were nice about it.

I had no prior experience with photoshop, so I was learning as I went. I realized that my awful handwriting wouldn't look good so I started re-drawing the pages of a comic that was already well into the 100's of pages before I even posted the first webcomic version. My art was still rough but I loved making it so flaws didn't even register with me because I thought I was doing my best. I'm still trying to do my best. If I wasn't, pages would come out faster believe me!

Thanks for being there, it was a rough year for my mental health and anxiety, I had a few “Why am I bothering I'm not good enough” angsty moments (usually after program obliterating hours of work I didn't save because I was in The Zone) which was a large factor in my slow updates (and general hermit behavior but I'm not even that social at the best of times so have mercy, my social battery is the kind you find in a wristwatch) but I'm gonna make an effort to speed things up! I'm not giving up anytime soon on this at least. And don't worry about the angsty proclamations, maybe I'm not good enough for certain people, but it's a waste of time trying to please people like that. As long as YOU folks reading it are pleased by what I'm making for you, that's all that matters. Sure, I do miss the days when my comic got like 100 comments every update, but if I'm doing this for even just a small handful of people, you're worth the effort I'm putting into this.

I'm extremely grateful you're here.
I hope this is a good year for youseall.
