Autumn has officially arrived. It feels like a different season even though I do not live in an area of the world where the tree leaves are turning vibrant shades of yellow and orange. The scents of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, and all the warm cozy feelings are back. Yes ...
Waiting for October
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Oct. 5, 2015Don't forget about MILESTONES!
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Oct. 2, 2015
Lately I've been receiving very few milestones from people! This is just a quick reminder that you (yes, YOU!) can send your milestones or other comic news to myself or kawaiidaigakusei. Don't be shy, even if you feel as though you've sent us multiple milestones in the ...
Comic-making shortcuts
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Sept. 4, 2015
After a long comic-making hiatus, I’ve had several ideas for comics in the last little while. Working on the first one, though, I’ve realized that unless I get a heck of a lot faster at drawing it's unlikely that all of my ideas will ever come to ...
Sunny days and comic books
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 14, 2015
Summer here is hot and dry, but it's so short that sometimes it feels more like a coffee break in an endless winter than a real season. People who live in the prairies know that each summer day has to be savoured - tucked away as a little memory for ...

HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2015
Is there a word for these?

"What are you, 5 years old?"
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, July 20, 2015
The act of sharing artwork online was still a new concept around 2004. Before I joined Drunk Duck, I thought it would be a cool idea to share some of my daily sketches from my first high school art class with the Internet. My initial reasoning was that I could ...
Exploring new comic book stores
HippieVan at 12:00AM, July 17, 2015
Recently I had the pleasure of spending a few day's in my country's capital city, Ottawa. Among museum trips, walks along the canal, and an awesome sound and light show at our parliament building, I managed to coerce my best friend into visiting a couple of comic book ...
Quackcast 226 - The Power of Contrast
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 7, 2015 LISTEN!
Content:
In this Quackcast I interrogated Mr Banes on the subject of his first newspost: Contrasts. It's a subject near and dear to him, even his comic "Typical Strange“ has its name based on the concept, i.e. two words with the opposite meanings put together to create ...
