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 ...

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 ...
Buffering
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 1, 2025
If there is one thing my comic partner and I have realised these past few years is this. The first half of the year is manic for us. Every year we get together to inscribe our goals into stone and within two months life has bulldozed its way through them ...
Resolute Resolutions for 2025
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 4, 2025
It’s that time of year again. It’s become a bit of an annual tradition. I started setting goals for myself a few years ago. And whilst I have not hit all of them, I have achieved more than I feel I would have had I not set any ...
Baby Steps
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Dec. 7, 2024
The end of the year is fast approaching. Per tradition these past few years, I have done an article focusing on setting comic goals or habits for the upcoming year. Last year, for instance, I had a whole bunch of goals to achieve, habits to establish and projects I wanted ...
Creating wickedly captivating characters you love to hate
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, March 2, 2024
Hey there Quackateers! Have you ever been compelled to continue a comic because of a character you just can't help but despise? These characters have the delightful role of drawing the audience’s ire. They’re often times a thorn in the side of the protagonist, acting as a ...

Hello there my fellow Quackateers!
The new year is here! And it’s around this time that resolutions and goals are set in stone for the year. However, have you ever found yourself setting ambitious goals for your webcomic, only to feel overwhelmed and demotivated when life inevitably gets in ...
Zines!!!???

Zines were in the news recently
(https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/nov/28/zines-exhibition-brooklyn-museum-art)
What’s a zine you might ask? It’s a small print run, usually small sized, amateur magazine. Often using photocopied pages, hand stapled, and it can be very unpolished in terms of content, but ...
Tough Love vs. Abuse
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 18, 2023
Tough love is so cool, eh? It's going to magic the “whining” right out of you, won't it? You just need to stick out through the harshness, and then when you reap the benefits, you'll realize your tough loving benefactor had the right idea. You'll be ...
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 ...
