QUACKCAST 433 - everyone is a beginner
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 2, 2019Beginner offense
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 29, 2019
I've mentioned before in other articles how Twitter, and often comics/art Twitter especially, can be a total dumpster fire with flame wars erupting every two hours or so.

Last week, I posted an article about what you would do in a year if all your financial obligations were looked after and you could dedicate your time to making comics. We also opened this question up to the #quackchat on Twitter. So here are some of the responses we ...
The Pangs Of Choice
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 22, 2019
Today, I can't write about anything but something slightly personal. Without Moonlight only has two chapters to finish. It's incredible (and it'll still take time even with my regular updates to get to the last page) and exciting, but it's also got me thinking about everything ...

Working with Political Agendas
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 15, 2019

The Oversimplification of a Child Hero's World
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 1, 2019
Happy June 1st everyone!
I have been youtube-crawling today around the cinema pop-culture side. And as I was watching assorted comments and commentary on a whole lot of YA (i.e. Young Adult) and children's books and TV/film/animation series, from Harry Potter to The Last Airbender to ...
