Quackcast 353 - Beautycast

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Dec. 19, 2017

LISTEN!

This is the Beautycast. We decided to have a chat about beauty. What IS beauty? is it universal? I would contend that it's not and that's what we tended to agree in the Quackcast. Beauty is a highly relative concept dependent on many factors like symmetry, rarity ...

Rain Has its Uses

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 18, 2017

LISTEN!

In this Quast we talk about immortality, which is a common trope in literature. Who seeks immortality in stories? It's usually bad guys, and it usually has some sort of extreme price,catch or dark side, so much so that people actually believe that if immortality WAS real ...

Spreading the word!

Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, June 2, 2017



It's no exaggeration to say that Drunk Duck AKA The Duck Webcomics, has a bit of an image problem. The trouble with Wowio and the site losing funding back in 2011 etc left us with a bad reputation, we had unfixed bugs, unfinished features, we lost data, and we ...
