Halloween is around the corner!
The swiftly-international-becoming Fright Season, where people dress up and surround themselves in scary imagery and settings. Everything is about the scare, the close brush with death or worse, the thrill of the blood running cold in our veins for seconds before laughing at each other ...
The Need for Catharsis
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Oct. 28, 2023The Ethics of Historical Fiction
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 6, 2021
I'm happy to say that lately there has been an effort to revive Greek cinema. More new scripts are getting attention and thematology diversifies into thrillers, historical fiction, suspense and even horror as opposed to the age-old sitcom moat that was Greek TV.
One such movie that I had ...
When The Monster Is Too Good For Angst
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 22, 2020
There's nothing more entertaining than the angst of a monster that was once a human being. A monster that hates who he/she is, that strives to regain all the terrible loss he/she has sustained, to strive to become human again.
Or if it starts off a monster ...

As a sector of the working world scrambles to see how they can move a typical work day to a computer screen, observing a population of people stumbling to transition to face-to-face video conferencing apps like Zoom has been like watching the first ten seconds of an infomercial—the transition ...

(What an udder failure.)
Do you like puns?
I love puns.
I once entered a pun contest and I wrote ten different puns, but at the end, none of them won.
That is correct. No pun, in ten, did.

Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 23, 2017
On December 14th the FCC will vote on removing Net Neutrality protections for the Internet.
The vote happens near the Christmas holidays, and the announcement was made just before the U.S. Thanksgiving holidays - this is one of those tactics that is used to push through unpopular legislation - and this ...
Rain Has its Uses
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 18, 2017
These past few days in Greece we’ve had torrential rains that feel like the prelude to a second Flood- terrible casualties included. And that got me thinking that it rarely rains in webcomics.
Usually the weather is dry in sequential art- perhaps because it’s troublesome to draw characters ...

This week we decided to all read out Creepypastas, just because! I's a popular thing on the net and people like that sort of thing… Well Banes and Pit do anyway. So what ARE Creepypastas? Well they're not the rotten spaghetti that had Banes blasting from both ...
