Quackcast 658 - Marvellous musicals
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Oct. 24, 2023Character Deep Dive: Polly from Bottomless Waitress
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 21, 2023
Today’s deep dive is with Polly, from Bottomless Waitress! Bottomless Waitress is the joint creation of Banes and Ozoneocean, with Banes writing the script and Ozoneocean doing the artwork.
It's a teasing, raunchy and somewhat absurd slice-of-life comedy. It’s a masterful balancing act, dancing carefree on the ...
So Many Ways to be Scared
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 19, 2023
Horror…and the baddies and creepies and long-legged beasties of horror…come in many flavours.
These divisions might be incomplete or somewhat meaningless in a way, but hey, I have to approach it somehow…

Panel By Panel: 'The Sparks TAB' and The Visual Reference
hpkomic at 2:26PM, Oct. 6, 2023
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck.
So, as I was flipping through comics here on the Duck as inspiration for a post, I stumbled onto a page from a particular comic with two panels that pulled a familiar reference ...
Religion
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 23, 2023
No, no. I promise this is not a post that will go like this:
Nor like this:
Also nothing I say here, is to be religiously followed. (I got that out of my chest, cringing is allowed)
This post is entirely on the issue of worldbuilding religion into your webcomic ...
Writing Strong Characters of Any Gender
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 26, 2023
Last time I'd written about gender toxicity and what a trap it can be for creators seeking to write powerful characters. It is not something that only plagues the “strong female character” attempt, but also the “strong male character” and definitely the “strong LGBTQ+ character”.
Too many of these ...

When you're drawing people in a webcomic one of the common ways to indicate gender is by outfits, but why are clothes gendered at all and is that a constant?
Gendered clothing clothing is influenced by ...
Gender Toxicity
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 19, 2023
The debate on what constitutes a “strong female character”, whether having “strong female leads” or “feminism” is tanking “woke” films these past few years, is ongoing. There's accusations of toxicity on both sides. Misogyny, misandry, wokeness and brokeness, all of these terms and hot takes are fired and take ...

In this month’s installment of Character Deep Dive, we’re looking at Grenadine Luncher from the comic Ripping Off King Arthur by Arthur Spitzer!
Before I do any dive, I have to say that due to the unique concept and approach of this comic, I had to really think ...
Poetry Time 39: The finishing lies
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, July 9, 2023
Starry violence shot across the skies
Void it defies, or so it says.
Gravity cries, or so it bets
Humanity aligns, or so it heads
Violent stars crossing demise
Skies complies, shots say their byes
The human race is ready to live when the old world dies…
… Or so it ...
