LISTEN!
Today we talk about where our characters began, not their origin stories or why we started writing them but rather what they used to look like! Pitface was inspired to create a thread based on this idea by Emma Clare's newspost series of origin stories. So we just ...

Depicting a culture different to ours can be a tricky process. There are a ton of pitfalls involved, from showing a stereotypical (right down to racist) almost fetishized version of the actual culture to presenting it in a light directly connected to the author’s/creator’s culture (therefore either ...

Love Spells and Love Potions
Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 8, 2018
Love spells have been a part of literature for a long, long time. A Midsummer Night's Dream comes to mind, by that William Shakespeare fella, where a love triangle/quadrangle is made more complex when the wrong target is affected. The correction has only one dude under the spell ...

The final part.
The end of the journey.

I was in my final year of university ...
Quackcast 359 - The Covershow
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Jan. 30, 2018 LISTEN!
Covers are a very important part of books and comics! They entice us to pick them up and read them, they encourage us to BUY them. But how much are they really needed for webcomics? You hardly ever look at the front cover and what you really want in ...
Mundane Tasks
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 27, 2018
Have you noticed that it’s very rarely that in a webcomic (or any narrative work) there’s a category of tasks or activities that people do very often in real life, but extremely rarely in stories?
Watching TV, being on the computer (when NOT being a hacker or doing ...

“I.P.'s” are dug up repurposed endlessly, in order to try and make a ...
