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 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 ...

In this Quackcast I thought we'd chat about Emma Clare's great and thoughtful topic of webcomic origin stories:

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

Toni Kino befriends a happy little dog, rescuing it from a grumpy old bearded guy who claims it's getting into his dreams. Of course Toni isn't having any of that nonsense and brings home the dog to his daughter. But pretty soon he starts to have strange encounters ...
