It's customary during the final days of a year to do resolutions for the next one or overviews of what happened in the one that's ending.
Even if we buck the system, we kinda do think back and ahead, especially during New Year's Eve, don't we ...

Vox Populi, Vox Dei

So this line has become famous lately since Elon Musk has been using it to reinstate banned Twitter accounts in the latest episode of the Birdsite Drama.
I'm not going to get into any opinion piece on what I think of this development but if you haven't joined ...
The Silver Lining
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 12, 2022
So I just watched the latest Trope Talk by Overly Sharkastic Productions on Youtube (high recommend if you aren't already subscribed). The focus was on Doomed Heroes, and there's not much I'd be able to add to that comprehensive essay. Go watch it.
What it did inspire ...
Alternate Endings 2
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 10, 2022
Last week we talked about alternate endings in movies like Army of Darkness, Clerks, and Little Shop of Horrors.

Enjoying the work

So this might be a little tricky. We're webcomic artists. We make webcomics that are a ridiculously composite and tough undertaking, all on our own- and we like it. We really do because it rarely pays the hours and skill that goes in them, but we still do it ...
Being Confident in Your Work
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 8, 2022
Hah. Easier said than done, right?
Ask any artist about how much they like the stuff they make, and chances are you'll get a mixed bag of answers where most will be saying how they wish they'd done the stuff better. The anatomy isn't quite right, the ...
Using Stories (or Comics) for Politics
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 24, 2022
So, fair warning, I was dead tired last night and forgot to write the blog post. I am slightly drunk now, so I've got no inhibition whatsoever. And I'm going to talk about whatever comes to mind. So, big shocker for anyone who knows me, I want to ...
