We have a space opening up here on Fridays. And though I'll miss hpkomics' Panel by Panel feature, with this spot available we thought we'd try something new.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Panel by Panel, a periodic exploration of comic panels around The Duck.

The Anti Continuity
Last time I brought up the ‘standalone episode series’ and the ‘serialized episodes’ approach.

Comic stories as written fics or novels
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, June 9, 2024

One story structure, that ozoneocean and I talked about many years ago on the Quackcast, was the Lone Protagonist as drifter.
In Pulp Fiction, Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) says talks about leaving the life of crime to walk the Earth. “Like Kane in Kung Fu. Help people, get in adventures ...
