I've started a few webcomics at this point, and all of them are ongoing…well, at least in theory.
There's always the question of where to start. What's page one gonna be?
With my first comic, Typical Strange, I LABORED over that decision for years.
Kind of ...

Hello there fellow Quackateers! I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of comic making but life has been hectic! As I was sitting down to work on some panels I found myself becoming frustrated at how long it was taking which got me thinking. So I thought ...
Panel By Panel: Workshop Week - 'Ripping Off King Arthur'
hpkomic at 9:18AM, June 7, 2024
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck. As we established last time, this week we'll be going over the community feedback on a webcomic page provided by a volunteer. I'll also share my thoughts as well.
As for ...
Forced Together
Banes at 12:00AM, June 6, 2024
A tried and true story trope is the “forced together”.

badum-tsss
I thought the first time I appreciated comedy that was “bad on purpose”, it was Fred Willard in Best in Show.
It's possible that some of his quips and comments were funny, or funny to some people…but the point of that character (a clueless commentator at a ...
Becoming the Beast
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 25, 2024
Humans can be scary, fascinating, mysterious creatures. Humanity is capable of the most amazing feats of compassion and the most debased acts of cruelty. And not necessarily at opposing ends of the spectrum. The same person can be compassionate in one context and appallingly cruel in another. They may not ...
Driftin'
Banes at 12:00AM, May 23, 2024
One story structure, that ozoneocean and I talked about many years ago on the Quackcast, was the Lone Protagonist as drifter.
In Pulp Fiction, Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) says talks about leaving the life of crime to walk the Earth. “Like Kane in Kung Fu. Help people, get in adventures ...
