We had a big snowfall two weeks ago, and I was out driving the city in it (I have a part time delivery job).
My car and I held up pretty well in it, and that was satisfying. As the news warned people to stay off the roads, I was ...

Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 7, 2017Last week we talked about “writing what you know” … but how about ‘knowing what you write’? I knew I wanted to do this one as soon as I posted the previous article…just for the title.
In a TV show, series of books, movie, printed comic series, or newspaper strip ...
FEATURED COMIC --> The Constellation Chronicle

Wainwright and Marcel are investigating a derelict space hulk drifting in the void, when things start to get eerie… Marcel has a terrifying vision. Is it a trick of the mind, madness, or something more sinister? A vision of things to come perhaps. This is thriller, mystery, SciFi, suspenseful space ...

Riffing on Banes' newspost from a while ago of “Horror minus horror” http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/news/2017/oct/18/horror-minus-horror/, does a comedy story without the comedy STILL work as a comedy? And does that make it BETTER comedy than something that doesn't?

In memoriam of Jason Moon (hehehe)
It caaaammmmme from outerspace… An unimaginably gigantic multi-tentacled green horror, Banes'thulu'Ary'lth! We only caught a glimpse of his heaving, slimy, scaled bulk but our minds couldn't fully comprehend what we saw and we were all driven insane!
In this ...

Six weeks ago, at the end of my article titled “Psychopomps and Death Personified”, I asked the question: Can you think of any examples of the personification of Death in a comic? How about on Drunk Duck (Yes, you can plug your own comic)?

Cosmic Horror
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 26, 2017
So you've got your maniacs, masked or otherwise. Scary! Or how about savage animals from, whether realistic or altered in some way? Or maybe monsters like vampires, zombies, were-folk and…er…mummies are your jam? Or what about ghosts, spirits and alien beasties?

Does a horror film without the horror still make sense? If it does then it's probably a really good film… that's what we're talking about in this Halloween themed month! The idea was based on a recent newspost by ...
Horror Minus Horror
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 19, 2017It's time for horror talk!
I was just watching a discussion by the red letter media dudes about one of my favorite horror flicks, The Re-Animator.
