ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2018
LISTEN!
In this Quackcast Tantz, Banes and I have a chat about the novels that influenced us when we were growing up. Each of us barely even touch on them but we do bring up some interesting titles… for Tantz it was the sexy comic Storm and the novel The ...
Casting Characters in Comics - 123
Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 2, 2018
Creating a Cast - in 1-2-3
One of the challenges…and maybe one of the greatest pleasures…of creating a series is populating it with a cast of heroes. I know I spend many weeks or months tinkering with characters and deciding who they're going to be. …And how many ...
FEATURED COMIC --> One Heart
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Aug. 1, 2018
Rio, a high school student is having a very vivid dream of his friend, Elloise. His dream takes a violent turn that almost ended in tragedy if it were not for his friend, Lance, waking him up from his dream. The only problem is that Rio is now over half ...
Art and Propaganda
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 21, 2018
Soviet poster advocating atheism and science over religion
From the most ancient times, art has always been used by the ruling classes for purposes of propaganda, to propagate certain ideas about those commissioning it and their purposes: that kings are mighty, that regimes are for ever, that the enemy is ...
How Does a Comic Get Featured Revisited
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, June 25, 2018
I have been helping with the featured comic section for the last five years. A while back, a comic creator on The Duck asked how a comic gets featured, and this was the explanation:
In order for a comic to get featured on The Duck, it must pass through a ...
Speed Vs Detail
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, June 22, 2018
Balancing detail and speed is one hell of a trick for a webcomic creator. It is common pitfall for many of us starting our webcomic. Unfortunately one cannot always have both of these qualities in the work. We go ham on all the intricacies early on and then wonder why ...
Quackcast 378 - Your best work, Comicsgate, Mark Wade, Tantz comic spotlight, Twitter

We have community contributions for this Quackcast! Many DDers told us about their best work and we read that out and chat about in on the Quackcast. We talking about promoting comics through DD's Twitter account. The DD awards have begun, get in on them and get nominated ...
When your muse skips town
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, June 1, 2018
Inspiration is quite the rush. The mind is set alight with seemingly limitless possibilities and, in that moment, you want to experience them all. For a creator, inspiration is the high that we pursue. But eventually our creative significant other packs up their stuff and quietly disappears into the night ...
Being a Generous God - when they go against the divine plan
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 25, 2018
As creators, we believe that we are the gods of our stories. The tales we weave are of our construct and the characters are subject to our petty whims…at first. When we begin to craft our worlds and populate them with, what we hope, are well rounded characters, we ...
