Where's Willy?

Gunwallace at 12:00AM, May 1, 2025



One of the world's oldest bit of sequential art (which people like Scott McCloud and Will Eisner tell us are just comics in a proto-form) was in the news recently. The Bayeux tapestry is a 70 metre long, 50cm wide embodied cloth that while not containing the panel divisions ...

Back from the Dead

Tantz_Aerine at 2:02AM, April 19, 2025



It's Resurrection Saturday today! What better occasion then than this to talk about the resurrection trope?

When Life's Too Crazy for Fiction

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 29, 2025




I generally avoid using current events in my articles about webcomics, but this time I can't help it. Signalgate has been living rent free in my mind ever since the editor in chief of the Atlantic broke the story.

My comic partner and I have already started work on our comic projects for next year. The beginning of the year is always crazy for us, so we’re using the small grace period we have now to try and front load our comic work as much as we can ...

The Series Bible

Banes at 12:00AM, Sept. 19, 2024



I was just reading one of the original Star Trek Series Bibles. It's actually called the “Writer's Guide” and was a, well, a guide for new writers who were interested in writing a Star Trek script. It's most interesting!
