It's their last night in town and the band is having a farewell concert, but Teresa senses something dark and dangerous afoot. She knows she should leave before things get serious, and yet the impressions are just too nebulous and it's easier to go with the flow. That ...
Panel By Panel: Spirit Monk and Crossing Boundaries
hpkomic at 7:18AM, Nov. 4, 2022
Hello everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck.
Last week I invited creators to send pages and panels they are proud of for me to look at and potentially write about. The response was good, and I am glad to say ...
Our Relationship With Death
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 29, 2022
It's almost Halloween!
…and it isn't part of my culture. It's only recently started to become a “novelty thing” in Greece, and we totally don't quite get it the way people who actually celebrate it likely do. So I don't want to talk about Halloween ...
Horror and Technology
Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 27, 2022
I watched and enjoyed this year's horror movie “Barbarian” awhile back. It starts off as the first AirBnB horror movie - or the first one I've seen, anyway.
It occurred to me that back when cell phones grew into common usage I wondered how horror fiction would deal with ...
Enjoying the work
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 22, 2022
So this might be a little tricky. We're webcomic artists. We make webcomics that are a ridiculously composite and tough undertaking, all on our own- and we like it. We really do because it rarely pays the hours and skill that goes in them, but we still do it ...
What Would You Like in the DD Quackcast?
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 15, 2022
So, the DD site is very close to getting that much-needed face lift and overhaul! Oz's post from yesterday is the right stuff, announcing what we've all been working, rooting, hoping for!
He mentioned in his comments that the Quackcast perhaps is …a little too esoteric… as we ...

Latest update news
This is the final version of the front page pretty much:
https://next.theduckwebcomics.com/
Alexey will now be working on the back-end stuff to make this all usable. There will be things like mouse-over or info tabs on the thumbnails so you can see comic descriptions ...
Being Confident in Your Work
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 8, 2022
Hah. Easier said than done, right?
Ask any artist about how much they like the stuff they make, and chances are you'll get a mixed bag of answers where most will be saying how they wish they'd done the stuff better. The anatomy isn't quite right, the ...
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 ...
Using Stories (or Comics) for Politics
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 24, 2022
So, fair warning, I was dead tired last night and forgot to write the blog post. I am slightly drunk now, so I've got no inhibition whatsoever. And I'm going to talk about whatever comes to mind. So, big shocker for anyone who knows me, I want to ...
