There's a weird hermit living at the edge of a street. Rumours fly about him and what he does all day, whether he's a criminal or a psychopath. People don't go near him or his property and any interaction is minimal. Until a young vagrant kid stumbles ...

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Dec. 3, 2022
When working on comics, particularly long term, you may encounter a situation where your comic is inā¦development hell!
Development hell is a form of purgatory for a creative project. We often hear it used in relation to series or movies. The project is bounced from studio to studio, as ...
Vox Populi, Vox Dei

So this line has become famous lately since Elon Musk has been using it to reinstate banned Twitter accounts in the latest episode of the Birdsite Drama.
I'm not going to get into any opinion piece on what I think of this development but if you haven't joined ...
The Silver Lining
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 12, 2022
So I just watched the latest Trope Talk by Overly Sharkastic Productions on Youtube (high recommend if you aren't already subscribed). The focus was on Doomed Heroes, and there's not much I'd be able to add to that comprehensive essay. Go watch it.
What it did inspire ...
Panel By Panel: Spirit Monk and Crossing Boundaries

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

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 ...
