Banes at 12:00AM, May 25, 2017Quackcast 324 - The *Bleeping*cast!
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, May 23, 2017 LISTEN!
In this Quackcast we discuss the interesting notion that censorship can actually be a positive force for creation. Sometimes working WITHIN restrictions of censorship can make you more creative and your work a lot more individual, special and more interesting. I came to this subject after reading a review ...
Yin and Yang – Creation and Deluge: Archetypal Motifs part 3
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 6, 2017
Who hasn’t seen this ubiquitous symbol? It’s one of the most typical motifs signifying the balance between opposing forces in the world- but also the ever alternating phases of destruction and creation, of overwhelming overturning of the status quo so the new can be created.
And that is ...
UHG I CAN'T EVEN
HyenaHell at 12:00AM, April 7, 2017
We've all been there: all of the sudden, the trajectory of your own life seems to thwart you from your ambitions! Maybe it's obligations to schoolwork or your day job; maybe your partner or family; maybe you wind up homeless or awkwardly crashing on a series of couches ...
Dialogue is a Paintbrush
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 11, 2017
In any work of art where storytelling is concerned, dialogue (should) play a central part. The relatability of the characters hinges on how they behave, and a lot of that behavior is verbal, especially in movies, theatre and comics (but also books. And everything else.)
So how do we create ...
Buck the System Imagery
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 4, 2017
So I suppose it is no secret I like activism, standing up for a cause and giving it your all no matter what. From my comics to my actual life I have been doing so.
But what about the imagery that gets such a thing across to an audience in ...
Boring Heroes, Fun Villains
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 4, 2017
It’s something so often encountered and/or mentioned in stories (be they comics or novels or film) that it’s becoming in itself a cliché: Heroes aren’t interesting because they’re straight arrows. Villains are fun because they’re the ‘bad boys’, the ones that can do all ...

It's Christmas time again… well at least it was two days ago when we recorded he cast. Today's Quackcast is a rambling christmas discussion of various things that take our fancy like the Secret Santa gift thread (linked down bellow), and the amazing ...

When I went to see Assassin's Creed last week, there was a scene where the main character was sitting in a nearly empty room with a small twin sized bed as its only furnishing. I turned to my sister and said, “I wish my room ...
Happy Holidays from the Great White North!
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Dec. 23, 2016I claimed in last week’s newspost that I tend to work best in a nice quiet environment. Well, I’m currently testing whether or not that’s true. As you’re reading this, I’m in the middle of the woods in a lovely cabin with a fireplace and ...
