As a comic artist you build up a repertoire of marketable skills that people would like a piece of. When you need a bit of money you're able to offer your services, which is very useful! Sometimes people will look at your work and just offer you money to ...

On December 14th the FCC will vote on removing Net Neutrality protections for the Internet.

Special treat at the start of this Quackcast, a Spang news announcement from the oooooold days of DD!
