Trust is the Biggest Asset

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 31, 2025



It's not really talked about much, since trust isn't as flamboyant or flashy as love or praise or admiration. However, I think a strong case can be made that it is the most invaluable element defining human relationships on pretty much every aspect and every scale.

We see ...

How we remember (the clothing of) a time.

Gunwallace at 12:00AM, May 29, 2025



I recently rewatched the The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, which is a 1996 released concert actually performed in December 1968. Various performers, including Jethro Tull, The Who, Taj Mahal, and Marianne Faithfull each perform a song. There were a few circus acts as well, including a fire eater ...

Balloon Placement is an Art

Tantz_Aerine at 12:56AM, May 24, 2025



I don't really have much to say when it comes to balloon placement, except that it's a balancing act: speech balloons must be looked at but not really be ‘seen’. In the sense that the balloons shouldn't obstruct the reader of the webcomic from easily reading the ...

Random Quail comics

Gunwallace at 12:00AM, May 22, 2025



The ‘Quail’s Random' list of comics on The Duck front page is a holdover from the early days of Drunk Duck. There have been occasional noises made about removing it, but when push comes to shove people have spoken up for the random list. Personally, I like it. It ...

An interesting exercise

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 17, 2025



I have found that an interesting, fun, and very helpful exercise when getting to know your webcomic's characters is to drop them in different settings and she what they'd be or what they'd choose.

So, for example, if your character is in a fantasy setting, what would ...

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome in Comics

Gunwallace at 12:00AM, May 15, 2025



The old 70s sitcom, Happy Days, is a mine of tropes. It's where we get the phrase “Jump the Shark” as there was an episode where The Fonz water-skied over a shark for some reason. Happy Days was also a spin-off generator, giving us Laverne and Shirley, Mork and ...

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

Gunwallace at 12:00AM, May 8, 2025



But not, it would seem, Alliance Entertainment (AENT). If you haven't been following the saga, which has had more twists and turns than a spy novel, it all began in January of this year when Diamond Distributors, one of the world's biggest distributors of actual physical copies of ...

Heading the Hiatus Off at the Pass

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 3, 2025



So, there you are, staring at that dreaded page with the words nobody wants to see: “I’m going on hiatus.”

Sometimes, it’s just a quick break, and you bounce back in no time. But other times… well, not so much. Don’t worry, though! I’ve got a ...

Where's Willy?

Gunwallace at 12:00AM, May 1, 2025



One of the world's oldest bit of sequential art (which people like Scott McCloud and Will Eisner tell us are just comics in a proto-form) was in the news recently. The Bayeux tapestry is a 70 metre long, 50cm wide embodied cloth that while not containing the panel divisions ...
