Today we talk about works of pop-culture that have an obvious political agenda, so obvious that t not only gets in the way of the entertainment but also dictates to the audience without letting them have a chance to come to their own conclusions: forcing you ...
Quackcast 302 - the agendacast
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Dec. 20, 2016Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 17, 2016
So this quote that, according to Google, is attributed to Picasso, popped up in my facebook feed, and now I want to talk about it.
At first I thought to make the newspost about plagiarism vs. inspiration, but it sounded something self explanatory, especially in a community of comic artists ...
The Fears We Explore
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 10, 2016
Everyone has their own set of concerns, worries, fears about themselves and their environment, past, present and future. Creators are no different.
So it is only natural that at least some elements of those fears and concerns and worries we have are explored one way or another in the works ...

We finally did it! We got to 300 Quackcasts! We've been doing these non-stop for SIX years! Wow… That's pretty incredible. We couldn't think of anything clever do do so we had another DD electronic meetup. The 3rd DD meetup on the 3rd ...
The Table Scene
Tantz_Aerine at 7:01AM, Dec. 3, 2016
It’s the ultimate horror.
You are trapped with your very own demons.
You cannot escape- you will not be excused.
You will need to look at them, as they look back at you, and do a reckoning.
At least until dessert.
In my opinion, in all creative writing/art ...

In Quackcast 299 we expand on an idea from Tantz's Saturday newspost about inserting your personality into your characters when you write them. But not only that, we chat about how a work of fiction by a writer can be like a darkly faceted diamond ...
Your Self-Insert is Everywhere
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 26, 2016
I came across a little blurb the other day about Mary Sues, and fanfiction, and how the writer of a fanfiction is basically writing a fantasy, inserting themselves as the character at the center of attention, immaculate, glittering and perfect. Basically everything you want to smack into a different galaxy ...

This Quackcast was based on Tantz Aerine's newspost from two Saturday's ago: Death in comics.
We lightly expand t to death in all pop culture in the Quackcast. It's an interesting topic! Not the one we were originally going to do though… We ...
Constructing Suspense
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 19, 2016
Everyone loves a good thriller, a titillating mystery, a tale full of twists and turns (that make sense), something that challenges you to find the answer before you’re given it at the final act.
I’m not sure how many like sitting down to construct them.
Don’t get ...
