I’ve written newsposts before about how much I hate inking. Since Lazy Nezumi was suggested to me by the wonderful Amelius that headache has abated somewhat, and I thought I’d talk today about the parts that I really enjoy.

For the last few years I’ve been focusing almost exclusively on university. I’ve been working on some stuff off and on (see my lonely little title page here), but I haven’t finished an entire issue of a comic since the year I graduated high school. Basically, you ...
Our IndieGoGo campaign is FUNDED - thank you!
HippieVan at 12:00AM, March 25, 2016
Our IndieGoGo campaign ended a few days ago, fully funded! It's still open in case some of you feel compelled to give us more of your money, but you'll be happy to hear that we won't be bothering you about it any more. :)
Thank you so much ...
The Freewheelin' 2015

Two-thousand fifteen started off with Kroatz wishing everyone in the Drunk Duck forums “growth, satisfaction, and purpose, even if it comes with an almost equal amount of suffering and loss.” I do not believe any statement made in this last year comes as close to this to sum up the ...
Merry Christmas, Ducks!

I hope you will all forgive me for not putting together a proper newspost this week! I've just finished baking a ginger cake (to be served after dinner tomorrow with warm lemon sauce), and I'm about to settle down with my family to watch A Muppet Christmas Carol ...
Inking: Literally the worst?
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Oct. 9, 2015
This is building a bit on ozoneocean's previous newspost on developing a sketch! For most comic artists, after having perfected a sketch (or at least getting it to an acceptable point) the next step is inking. I don't think I'm alone in saying this is one of ...
Collaborations

I recently watched a concert of Ed Sheeran singing “Thinking Out Loud” when the camera panned to the person playing the piano and it turned out to be Chris Martin from Coldplay and the song finished with a duet. I sat there thinking, “Wow, that really worked.” Collaborating with another ...
And So We Disconnect
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Aug. 17, 2015
The demand for electric outlets in my room is high because there is always a tablet, mp3 player, or any random lithium-powered gadget lying around that needs charging. My desktop workstation drains the most energy and there is a tangled sea of snake-like cords lurking under my desk around my ...
FEATURED COMIC --> Clint
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, April 15, 2015
Splitsville. Plastic lawn flamingo. Silence. Loneliness. Ginormous ants.
Our main character lives alone in a dark, empty house. He goes about his daily tasks that involve reading the mail in an abandoned park and walking to the grocery store and leaving without paying. He watches DVD movies by himself until ...
