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 ...

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 ...
Subtly Subjective
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 14, 2023
On a recent Quackcast episode here on the duck, Ozoneocean made an interesting point about some older raunchy comedies.
The point was that in some of these movies, the female characters were presented a certain way, maybe not as three-dimensional as the male characters, or maybe came across more sexual ...
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 ...
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 ...

FEATURED COMIC --> RATKIDS
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Aug. 2, 2023
There are little rat-like children with superpowers running around the cold winter streets of future Phoenix Arizona. They're part of a despised underclass, akin to the homeless and vagabonds who they sypathise with and help. Many years ago a comet of extra-solar origin was destroyed on a collision coarse ...
Horror - The Morality Play
Banes at 12:00AM, July 27, 2023
The idea of “sin” is a prevalent one in horror stories. In terrifying tales, the monstrous against the human also explores good vs. evil.
There is often a “sin” perpetrated by horror Protagonists. The classic Psycho begins with Marion Crane stealing money from her job. Her intentions are understandable, maybe ...
AI-EEEEE!
Banes at 12:00AM, July 20, 2023
Many of us have been talking about AI increasingly over the last little while, and it's a discussion point in the WGA writer's strike that's been going on right now. Actually, as of this Newspost, the actors have just gone on strike as well, joining the writers ...
