We're already almost at the halfway point of Pride Month, and well, the Duck has an event going!
About a week in June, and seeing everything happening where people are being treated terribly (to put it mildly) for just being true to themselves and who they are, it occurred ...

DD Pride Month!

Conflict is the spice of storytelling! Whether it’s a comic, movie, or show, those moments of raw emotion often stick with us the longest. You know the ones—when characters clash, emotions boil over, and things get real. A fiery argument can leave your readers on the edge of ...

Trust is the Biggest Asset
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 31, 2025
It's not really talked about much, since trust isn't as flamboyant or flashy as love or praise or admiration. However, I think a strong case can be made that it is the most invaluable element defining human relationships on pretty much every aspect and every scale.
We see ...
Balloon Placement is an Art
Tantz_Aerine at 12:56AM, May 24, 2025
I don't really have much to say when it comes to balloon placement, except that it's a balancing act: speech balloons must be looked at but not really be ‘seen’. In the sense that the balloons shouldn't obstruct the reader of the webcomic from easily reading the ...

An interesting exercise
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 17, 2025
I have found that an interesting, fun, and very helpful exercise when getting to know your webcomic's characters is to drop them in different settings and she what they'd be or what they'd choose.
So, for example, if your character is in a fantasy setting, what would ...

Heading the Hiatus Off at the Pass
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 3, 2025
So, there you are, staring at that dreaded page with the words nobody wants to see: “I’m going on hiatus.”
Sometimes, it’s just a quick break, and you bounce back in no time. But other times… well, not so much. Don’t worry, though! I’ve got a ...
On Utopias
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, April 26, 2025
It may just be my impression, but usually when a story is set in a dystopian setting, the dystopia is played straight. However, when the characters encounter or start off in a utopian setting, they almost always will end up realizing that the utopia is actually a mirage, and in ...
