I had to hold myself back from making a 50 shades joke so badly I feel chafing from the restraints.
But this isn't about what you think- i.e. using grayscale or black and white rather than colour in a webcomic.
Rather, this is about a webcomic's characters ...
Gray, Black and White (part 1)

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, April 13, 2018
So for the last few posts I’ve been meaning to go back and finish off an idea that I had begun to explain, albeit poorly, but, as you can see, I have not. I know that there is more I could do with it; more I could delve into ...
The 80s are Back!
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, April 2, 2018It is Thursday evening as I walk up to the ticket window and ask for two IMAX 3D tickets for the much anticipated movie feature. The man at the ticket booth prints me up two paper tickets and hands me some bulky, oversized gray 3D glasses frames. I the stadium ...
Black Panther's Killmonger Followed a Real Hero's Journey (Includes Spoilers)

Points of View - part one
Banes at 12:00AM, March 1, 2018
Welcome to March!
I thought I'd try a connected theme of Thursday articles this month. I've had some half-baked ideas floating around on the subject of “Point of View”. They haven't coalesced completely but I think I can figure out four articles on this topic over the ...
Quackcast 363 - The Art Of Comments
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Feb. 27, 2018 LISTEN!
Jason Moon, author of Crater's Edge, messaged me about some comments he had. He was perturbed about reader reaction to his storyline and wasn't sure how to handle the comments. I told him that those sorts of comments are the very greatest compliment an author can get ...
