Last week we talked about the benefits of mirroring webcomics on various platforms. Today, we’re continuing this theme.
The monsters in the market are now Tapas (formly Taptastic) and Webtoons, boasting a large audience that could maximise your reach. Smaller communities such as that on Smackjeeves, Comicfury and here ...

this pic has nothing to do with the subject; i've just been waiting for a chance to use it
Writing what you know is one of those old canards that show up in writing advice, thought it's not up there with things like “show, don't tell” and ...
The Main Character Decoy
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 25, 2017
One reason why the movie Psycho is so iconic is, aside the expert directing and artistic cinematography, the fact that the one we’re led to believe is the main character of the movie gets brutally killed in the shower quite early into the movie.
What did killing her off ...
Quackcast 349 - Bad Gods
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Nov. 21, 2017 LISTEN!
This is the Quackcast where I get things wrong! Haha, I DO love to imagine that I know everything but fortunately Tantz and Pit are there to correct me! For this Quackcast I was thinking about the way we assign villains when there's a religious theme or anything ...
Quackcast 348 - Action Talking
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Nov. 14, 2017 LISTEN!
Special treat at the start of this Quackcast, a Spang news announcement from the oooooold days of DD!
This week's Quackcast is on the interesting notion that talking CAN be action. It's based on a newspost of Tantz's. I'm not quite bright enough to fully ...
Political Comics

In my opinion and from the general descriptions of this budding genre, a political comic is ...
Comedy no comedy
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Nov. 10, 2017
Riffing on Banes' newspost from a while ago of “Horror minus horror” http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/news/2017/oct/18/horror-minus-horror/, does a comedy story without the comedy STILL work as a comedy? And does that make it BETTER comedy than something that doesn't?
I would contend that is ...
Don't Look Back in Anger, I Heard You Say

Ever heard of the “starving student” stereotype? Or is the term “starving artist” more appropriate in this situation? Six years ago, I was given the opportunity to experience life as a starving student even though I was unaware about it at the time.
"Once upon a time you dressed so ...
Controversial Comics
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 4, 2017
I’ve written about controversy before, and how it has its uses. But I haven’t really yet discussed what makes a comic controversial.
There are the usual hype-controversies like gender bending and race swapping in characters, but in my opinion these types of controversial issues are just what I ...
