Is it important to Identify with characters? This question occurred to me as I was watching a rather banal sitcom, Rules of Engagement. I love two of the stars, David Spade and Patrick Warburton, but it's ...

Your shadow growing to blacken the sky
Unfilling the vaccum we rotate inside
Your shadow glowing to blacken the sky
Sealed by the heavenly ocean we´ve seen to forget
Your shadow flowing to blacken the sky
In your reflecton I´ll always reside
Your shadow throwing to blacken the ...
Infatuation
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 30, 2024
How do you make a clever character stupid?
You give them an infatuation. A fixation. Something that completely overrides their critical thinking and better judgment. Something that drives them nuts like a switch is thrown.
And when that happens, they're dumber than a bag of rocks. (And they're ...
The Morning Wack Pack Trio

On Conan O'Brien's Podcast the other day, the gang answered a question from a fan about whether they'd created the show with the classic radio lineup of “Dick, Dork and Dear”.

So I'm exhausted.
A ton of things I'm juggling in real life plus emotional baggage plus stuff I'm doing online plus art = exhausted Tantz.
And because my brain refuses to focus on anything else, I thought I'd talk about how using exhaustion can be a cool ...
I May Not Know Art But i Know What I Like. Except When I Don't
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 21, 2024
I've been VERY slowly working on new comics ideas…way too many of them…for several years now. One of the decisions for me is what kind of STYLE the comic should be.
To be clear, I'm not a phenomenal artist, to say the least. So i don ...
Justice vs Revenge and What it Says About the World
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 16, 2024
