Quackcast 296 - What came before?
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Nov. 8, 2016What is it that needs to be original? (No, it’s not the story)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 5, 2016
The old frenetic push to any creator to be ‘original’- especially, though not limited, in literature, in comics and the arts in general is nothing new. It pretty much is the first question anyone has when trying to assess a work of art: is it original?
Often, for the answer ...
QUACKCAST 295 - Sexcast, sex in non adult comics
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Nov. 1, 2016 LISTEN!
Art by Ozoneocean
This is the Awkardcast! Another take on the sexcast idea but this time we're looking at sex and sexual situations in strictly NON-adult comics. Sex performs a very different role in non-adult comics… You have a much wider audience with comics at the rating, but ...

So I was thinking… in this day and age if you get on any type of social media, you are going to be punched repeatedly with CONTROVERSY! HERESY! HEATHENS! LIBERTARDS! CONSERVOTARDS-OR-HOW-EVER-THEY-ARE-CALLED-TARDS! …and so on. On blogs and tweets and even more so on youtube, making a ...

Hello, hello!
Before I begin my ramblings, may I remind you that the DD Awards are currently being served?

Ayn Rand and The Fountainhead movie poster

You know, when you find out an actor, musician, comic artist or whatever is an arsehole or says things you disagree with or is a criminal, can ...

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Oct. 4, 2016 LISTEN!
Raphael's School of Athens.
This week's Quackcast is brought to us by Tantz Ariene! Tantz is a very political creature, seeing as she comes from Athens which is pretty much the birthplace of politics AND philosophy, that's hardly surprising. Clever Tantz in her tantzglasses, dudeman Banes ...
