Quackcast 65 - Men and Women in Tights - RETRO
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Aug. 1, 2017 LISTEN!
No new Quackcast this week so we're going retro.
Sorry guys… 334 didn't record correctly. I only discovered that while editing. Two Quackcasts we'd recorded didn't work, TWO in a row: the spare AND the current one! I don't check them right after I ...
Gimme Five
Banes at 12:00AM, June 22, 2017Gimme Five - Senses in comics
Comics are a one-sense medium. Or web comics are, at least. I suppose print comics have a physical touch sensation, as my ink-stained and paper-cutted fingers can attest.

Dialogue is a Paintbrush
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 11, 2017
In any work of art where storytelling is concerned, dialogue (should) play a central part. The relatability of the characters hinges on how they behave, and a lot of that behavior is verbal, especially in movies, theatre and comics (but also books. And everything else.)
