Hello, ducks!
Been a while since I did one of these off-top of-my-head kind of pieces. Thought I talk about something that has been on my mind for quite some time. What exactly is deep and profound? A lot of artists throughout history have strived to make their art deep ...
Tension and Release and appreciation for Watcher
Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 29, 2022
Watcher (2022) is a fairly unknown new movie, I think, and I recommend it. Simple, well-made, and scary.
Might as well get an early start on the October celebration, here - the fall is my favorite season, for so many reasons, including the time to celebrate our love for the scary ...

hpkomic at 8:43AM, Sept. 23, 2022
Hello everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck.

Historical Drama/period pieces present multiple issues for the writer/creator to deal with.
In talking about the drama in his movie “Cinderella Man”, Ron Howard said that the drama was built into the story itself. Meaning the actual true events. The moving radio broadcast where the Depression-Era boxer Jimmy ...
How Ya Gonna Pay For That?
Banes at 12:00AM, July 7, 2022
The dream of money has to show up in fiction, at least to some degree - it's a very human driver/motivator.
Last week i talked about characters who are motivated by money. Here are some more thoughts on money and some of the different ways it's handled in ...
Money Money Money
Banes at 12:00AM, June 23, 2022
If ya gotta go, go in style, i suppose!
I think I've been restraining myself pretty well - so here's another Better Call Saul-inspired Newspost.
As I wait anxiously for the final handful of episodes to this show to appear, my mind has gone back over the series and ...
Wonder
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, June 19, 2022
Gonna take another pause from the fantastic bestiary on this Sunday’s article and instead talk about wonder in fiction. First off, what is wonder? If you put the word wonder into google translate it is described as ”a feeling of amazement and admiration, caused by something beutiful, remarkable or ...
