I'm Barry Linck, creator of Phineus+ Magician for Hire and other stories. I've been on this site since 2006, I left for a bit, but I'm back with all my comics and updating on DD, again. (You can tell I'm old, I still call it Drunk Duck)


I bring with me, my flagship comics Phineus+ Magician for Hire, that I've been writing and Drawing for 30+ Years. This will update Mondays.




Maynard and Grimm a spin off of Phineus, updates several times weekly, until I catch up with my archive.



Spellbook is my worldbuilding background comic, which updates on Fridays when I have new stuff to share:



Teen Wizard, a prequel series with our main characters in Magic college, also will update on Wednesdays until we catch up with the archive.



Weirdlings will return with the final half of the strips, shortly. This comic ended in 2012, but I need to update the later strips, here.




Any new stuff I work on will also find it's way over here. Hope you come along for the ride!

Thanks,
Barry

I've added another of my comics to start updating, here. Bobby Carter: Creephunter. The escapades of celebrity monster hunter Bobby Carter, hobnobbing with the rich and famous, pissing off the dark and powerful!

The series is written by Mike Wood and drawn by me, Barry Linck! I draw a lot, huh?

I have a few pages posted, more to come each week. Let's say on Thursdays.

All told as far as I can guess I've done 2896 comics since 1991. I may be missing a few.

It's no One Piece, but it'll do.

So, this past week I spent a lot of time working on all my DD comics pages, making them look awesome.

I have a post for Monday, and a new Magician for Hire page should be up around Wednesday. Sorry for the delay.

Bastard Who : The Gentleman's Chronicles is added to DD!

A gimmick Doctor Who parody, concocted by DD LEGEND James Riot and myself. Unfinished, so far, but fun!

Inks are comic along on page 4. I got distracted by website stuff and the cover for Teen Wizards TPB. This will be up this week.

Phineus: Teen Wizard Volume 1 Trade paperback is out for approval at Amazon. It'll be my first children's book on Amazon.
Teen Wizard is fun. Gotta get back to it, soon.

I think it's cool you're posting so much art in this thread. I am too lazy for something like that.

I'm trying to be much less lasy, here, now. Plus I think all my posts need art!

Ok. They got most if the main site back up, still a few things to tweak, but this managed to take up the while weekend, so I didn't get to draw. Stupid websites….

After a long, long week of my main site issues, my host escalated the problem and got it all fixed up. They ended up changing the url and screwing up my image links. All fixed, now.

Because of all this, i spent way too much time fixing what i could on this main site, but also preparing my backup Wordpress site, just in case they couldn't fix it.

The Wordpress site is pretty cool and may eventally replace this one. If you want to check it out it is at [url=After a long, long week of my main site issues, my host escalated the problem and got it all fixed up. They ended up changing the url and screwing up my image links. All fixed, now.

I'm having a difficult week with my hands. Change of seasons wrecks me, after my car accident a few years back. My thu.b was nearly torn off. I'm just lucky I can still use it to draw. As soon as the pain eases, I'll get vack at it. Sorry guys!

So, I've spent the last two days working on scripts. This is what my scripts look like. I've spent the last few years winging my comics and it's lead to me getting stuck and blocked. We'll, no more. Scripts, whole storybplotted, so when I'm drawing, I'm not constantly wondering where the story is going. Should be way more productive.

Whelp! Barcrawl is finished and the last page is up! Took way too long wading through my anxiety and depression to finish it.

Gotta always remember that my therapy is drawing!

Up next is finishing up Maynard and Grimm and Boy Wizards!
