I was tempted to write about something easy and non-controversial this week, but then decided I would just keep being me. At least this post has something to do with comics, and current news. I'm genuinely interested in what people have to say on this topic, as it it ...

Art For Art's Sake

Lights upon a fading sky.
Whipping the night to encircle the dead
Blocks are talking to your I.
Curve them a wave and encircle them red
Joys comes dancing you goodbye
A smile so wide it will encircle your head.
NaaN (Now, always and Never)
What Will Happen Without the Barbarians?
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 8, 2025
There is a poem by one of the most interationally famous Greek poets, Konstantinos Kavafis, called Waiting for the Barbarians. I invite you to give it a read (I've linked its translation) but here's the gist in a nutshell: It's about the Romans waiting for the Barbarians ...

Poetry Time 107: Posthuman
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Feb. 2, 2025
Event horizon. The faintest stroke of the rosey dawn.
The end of time or so it sounds.
Clawing, scratching and crying to abound.
Here it comes the future drawn.
As my past self gives its final yawn, please, no funeral mound.
Let the belly of the wolf be my final ...
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 ...
Poetry Time 106: Cold to Hot Shadow
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Jan. 26, 2025
Your heart’s beating inside the hourglass
Orbiting your soul system it comes to pass
Begging for a new season to amass
Alas, white shadows still lasts–shrinking
But the earth is now drinking and the silver shifts to brass
Your heart’s still beating in the hourglass.
Creator Interviews Are Coming Back!
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Jan. 25, 2025
So I slacked a lot in getting interviews prepared for our awesome webcomic artists here on the Duck, but that is going to be remedied!
I'm trying to find a way to establish regularity for all the features for showcasing DDers and their webcomics that I've been handling ...
This and That (the power of contrast)
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 23, 2025
One of the main drivers of story is the principle of CONTRAST.
A character in a traditional story arc begins one way and ends up in a very different state of being - the underdog to the victorious hero, or the innocent, unaware victim to the final survivor, or the selfish ...

We're talking about how technology and design changes so much over the years and how that can change things with plot in story and it can also help pinpoint the date of something sometimes better than ...
