Last week we talked a little pov basics.
This time, how about we talk the fascinating device called the Unreliable Narrator. For anyone who doesn't know, this type of narration (usually first person in prose, but not necessarily) tells the story in question…but is not necessarily giving an ...

Points of view - part two - Unreliable
Banes at 12:00AM, March 8, 2018Quackcast 362 - Triumph der Ente
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Feb. 20, 2018 LISTEN!
In this Quackcast we chat about all the different options for hosting your webcomic. At the moment it seems the fashionable new young kiddies on the block are Webtoons and Tapastic, but they're certainly NOT the only choices for webcomic hosts out there and certainly not the best ...
On boredom and the slip into daydreams
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 16, 2018
In my day job, I am occasionally asked to attend events or webinars as part of professional development. Earlier this week I happened to be at one of these activities focussing on the future of artificial intelligence, which you would think would be a riveting topic for discussion. But soon ...
Taking Notes - Music in Comics
Banes at 12:00AM, Feb. 15, 2018Obviously, comics don't have sound.
But if you want to show music playing, or being performed, how do you indicate it on a comic page?

So here we are.

The end of the journey.
Settle in kids because this is looooong. I’m going to get a bit real and it may be confronting for some people so I just want to warn you.
I was in my final year of university ...
Mundane Tasks
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 27, 2018
Have you noticed that it’s very rarely that in a webcomic (or any narrative work) there’s a category of tasks or activities that people do very often in real life, but extremely rarely in stories?
Watching TV, being on the computer (when NOT being a hacker or doing ...
The Origin Stories of Webcomics | Part 2
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 26, 2018
Last week I decided to be indulgent and explain where I came from as a webcomic creator and this week I am finishing that story, at least up to where I am now. It was so lovely reading all your comments about your origins. It is very easy to look ...
Quackcast 358 - Damaged Characters
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Jan. 23, 2018 LISTEN!
This week we mine Banes's ideas about damaged protagonists. Does having physiologically damaged protagonists (as opposed to merely flawed), make them more realistic or relatable? I think we came to the conclusion that this isn't necessarily the case at all, in fact it can mean the opposite ...
