Poem Nr. 14: Deep’s Locker
Let no unheard muses call their stages.
Sink them into soundlessness down below.
Take no unsung makers to their pages.
Sink them into uselessness down below.
Grant no untouched prophets for their sages.
Sink them into soulessness down below.
Have no undrawn breathers hale ...

Last week we talked about alternate endings in movies like Army of Darkness, Clerks, and Little Shop of Horrors.
In the comments, you mentioned classics that I can't believe I didn't mention, including CLUE, which was made with four different endings to be played randomly in different theaters ...

Alternate Endings

Within the past couple years I finally saw the original ending of Little Shop of Horrors directed by Frank Oz. This movie made a big impact on the culture when it came out. It wasn't super important to me personally, so it was years after the release of the ...
Horror and Technology
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 27, 2022
I watched and enjoyed this year's horror movie “Barbarian” awhile back. It starts off as the first AirBnB horror movie - or the first one I've seen, anyway.
It occurred to me that back when cell phones grew into common usage I wondered how horror fiction would deal with ...

Hello everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck.

Deep and Profound?

Hello, ducks!
Been a while since I did one of these off-top of-my-head kind of pieces. Thought I talk about something that has been on my mind for quite some time. What exactly is deep and profound? A lot of artists throughout history have strived to make their art deep ...
Embracing "good enough"
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Oct. 1, 2022
For the past month I have been taking a break to catch up on life. Between appointments, exams, social events and trying to catch up on the washing I’ve left about the apartment I have been mulling over something a psyche recently mentioned to me.
He said that I ...
Using Stories (or Comics) for Politics
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 24, 2022
So, fair warning, I was dead tired last night and forgot to write the blog post. I am slightly drunk now, so I've got no inhibition whatsoever. And I'm going to talk about whatever comes to mind. So, big shocker for anyone who knows me, I want to ...
