As the new dawn goes we sprinkle the seeds of unbound rascality
The calamity of the bygone drive-by solitude
For the youth that sows we sink our deeds in offshore synchronicity
The simplest treaty of the offbeat blastoff attitude
As the new dawn goes. As our yesters close. As first ...

So 2023 is almost over! In just a few days we'll all be correcting every document we date for a month or so.
As is tradition, as the year ends we look at the crop, so to speak: everything that happened, what changed us, what helped us, what undermined ...

hpkomic at 11:08AM, Dec. 29, 2023
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck.
This week, I wanted to get back to my roots regarding these kind of posts, mostly just clicking through comics, finding a panel that speaks to me, and exploring why. I appreciate the ...
A Different Kind of Story Structure
Banes at 12:00AM, Dec. 28, 2023
I have a lot of interest in story structure. Understanding what it is, how it works, and using it to write better stories. Stories that will keep people more interested, and deliver a satisfying experience…that's what we try to do when we're making comics and writing stories ...

Everyone Was Innocent Once
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 23, 2023
There's generally a tennet about character building for a villain in a story or webcomic that urges the creator to humanize them by giving them a backstory that “fleshes them out”. Often, “humanization” of a villain is taken to mean that they come across as more sympathetic or appealing ...
Book of Desolation

Book of Desolation
This is not actually a comic but more of a sourcebook. I've always loved source books, ever since I got the starwars sourcebook way back before the prequals. It's great to see worlds get expanded outside of the original movie, comic, book , whatever. This one ...
