Where we Start

Banes at 12:00AM, June 13, 2024



I've started a few webcomics at this point, and all of them are ongoing…well, at least in theory.

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 ...

Driftin'

One story structure, that ozoneocean and I talked about many years ago on the Quackcast, was the Lone Protagonist as drifter.
