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

This is gonna be a bit of an obscure pop cultural Fantastic Bestiary rundown, but heck with it, it’s my article series and I’m doing it anyway. I’m gonna talk about the Galerians today. To start off, Galerians is a tank-control style survival horror video game for ...

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Sept. 11, 2022
This Sunday we have a milestone announcement from DD member InkyMoondrop:
“Hi!”

Would You Hit a Girl?
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 10, 2022
So hitting a girl (or a woman) is extremely tropey. Regardless of how progressive your story is, a man hitting a woman runs a high risk of being considered lowly or less than heroic. That's because generally, women are considered weaker than men, thus an easy target. A woman ...
The Big and Small of Comedy
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 8, 2022
In Skin Deep, an old comedy/drama by Blake Edwards, starring John Ritter, I found one of my favorite movies for a long stretch of time. I watched it over and over. But the part everyone talked about, with the glow-in-the-dark condoms – I really didn't like that. I preferred ...

This is just a curious little topic that have recently come to my mind. From time to time I’ve seen people in popular media make comparisons between James Bond and Batman. First time I encountered this comparison was in an episode of Friends long ago. And I see people ...
Covering cover art
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Aug. 27, 2022
Last week, over on the ole Twittersphere, we were asking the #quackchatters about creating cover art for their comics. It was an interesting discussion to go back and read as there were responses there that surprised me.
The first question of the QuackChat hour asked if creators draw some pages ...
