OMG! This is the third part in our long running series of discussing good and bad character traits in webcomics and everything else. Bravo, Tantz and Pit are all along with Banes and I for another go around and doing their best German accents as ...
Mumblecore in Webcomics
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, April 20, 2015
There is a slightly odd trend in screenwriting for indie films called Mumblecore where the actors are given a very minimal to non-existent script to work from and are forced into creating natural dialogue on the spot. I believe the director has a general story outline of where he or ...

HippieVan at 12:00AM, April 17, 2015
It is midsummer, somewhere in the British Midlands and sometime in the mid seventies. It is almost midnight. In a suburban semi-detached house, a teenage girl and her young brother are awaiting the return of their parents. A young man of impressionable age waits with them as they bathe in ...
The Dark Side of Comedy

There was once an intervention for work-appropriate humour at one of my former jobs where we were asked the question: "A joke told in the workplace can be off-colour or sexually offensive as long as I know that I am only kidding.“ The moderator had the room ...

A while back there was a discussion here on the Duck about what gives us renewed inspiration for our art, about the sorts ...
Guest Post by Kroatz - How I'll Spend my Weekend
HippieVan at 12:00AM, April 3, 2015
I’m going to wake up, I’m quite sure of that. I’ve woken up many times before, and I currently have no real interest in changing that habit. So, first I am going to sleep, have some dangerous and weird adventures that I will either forget or repress ...

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, April 1, 2015
http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Mechanaflux/
The story behind Mechanaflux starts out simple enough. We have three urban city kids: Arad, Cory, and Jackson who are all members of the same soccer team even though they come from very different households and upbringings. It appears to be a regular day after ...

HippieVan at 12:00AM, March 27, 2015
First of all - I'm going to be taking about three weeks off so that I can finish my course work for this year. (Anyone want to write a historiography paper for me? Please? No? Okay.) It would be great to have some guest newsposts to fill my Friday newspost ...

Forum Restructure and Fashion Free-For-All
HippieVan at 12:00AM, March 13, 2015
The DD forums have been pretty unwieldy for ages now - we have WAY more sub-forums than we need. JustNoPoint made an excellent suggestion to consolidate them into a smaller number of broader forums. We've been discussing the change in this thread without any objections so far, so I went ...
