It's a sad day for Smack Jeeves and independent webcomics comics in general.
In case you haven't heard Smack Jeeves was acquired by a Korean mobile content company NHN. They've proceeded to minimise the community there and hijack the platform to promote a selection of sleek, generic ...

Motivation, Ideology, Action 4: Your Thoughts
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 7, 2019
Having completed the (very quick) foray into the workings of motivations, ideologies and behaviors, the time has come for a look-see of all your amazing comments, from all three articles!
I haven't done this before so I'm not entirely sure how to present them. I'll wing it ...
Motivation, Ideology, Action 3
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 30, 2019
So there's this saying that it's a completely different thing to talk the talk than walk the talk- to do as you preach. To put your money where your mouth is. To actually apply what you say you ascribe to.
In short, putting into action everything you've ...
A time for giving and thanks

With the Thanksgiving holiday coming to a close and Christmas not being far away, now is a good time to take a step back and consider the past year. For my writing partner and I, we had high hopes for the year coupled with a mountain of plans. However, those ...
So I Finally Saw the Joker...
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 23, 2019
It so happens that as I write these lines, I have a terrible headache. So I can't gather my thoughts enough for the third installment of my discussion of motivations and ideologies and actions, but I think I'm good to write what I'd promised- my review of ...
Motivation, Ideology, Action 2
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 16, 2019
Last time we talked about motivation in people, and its relationship to behavior. And I must say you all had great comments I feel deserve to be addressed, so instead of a four-part tour to the world of what makes people tick, I will add a fifth part where I ...

edward norton in “primal fear”
One of the things I like in fiction is characters who are not what they seem.
Like all things, this sort of thing can be done well, or badly, or somewhere in between. It can be fascinating and surprising, or cliche and predictable. It can ...
Star Wars' Rey May Be a Problematic Character
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 26, 2019
I know you are probably rolling your eyes right now, thinking I'm about to rant about the Star Wars sequels again. I'm not.
Ok, I might a little, but not in the typical manner. And I'm inviting you to hear me out because this isn't a ...
Sympathy for the Devil
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 19, 2019
So of course the new Joker movie is quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon. Not only because it has made a ton of money already, but because of the spin on the infamous character of Joker.
Through Joachim Phoenix's Joker we get to watch the origin story of a villain ...
Rest and review
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Oct. 18, 2019
Considering how many steps there are in creating comics, planning, plotting, writing, scripting, sketches, pencils, inks or colours and everything in between, it’s important to build in some time for review. Now this seems like a logical step. But when deadlines, self-imposed or otherwise, loom, this step is often ...
