    Quackcast 754 - The role of dialogue!
    Aug 26 2025
    Dialogue is used for more than just simple speech, it moves the story forward, it indicates what characters want, what they feel, what they want others to feel and more. But it's used a bit differently across different media. Comics have their own particular ways of doing things and it's quite interesting! We thank Banes for coming up with this topic! In pure prose the world is all relayed in text so dialogue is king there, characters can talk and talk forever and everything can be relayed through their speech if the author wants. Radio plays are much like prose, but actors help out with their performances, SFX has a role, and time is a factor. Plays are a different thing, settings, scenes and props are limited so a LOT of work has to be taken up by the dialogue, but it's all governed by linear, limited time, so once something is said it's gone, you can't linger on it or go back over it, so it has to do its job in the moment (this isn't a disadvantage though), but the actors can do all the work of showing expressions, tone, emotions, humour, physicality and many other things. Movies, TV, and games are different again, they're also limited by time (though you can go back if you like), the actors can do a lot of the work and massive amounts of work can be done with the visuals. Lastly we have comics where like prose they are not limited by linear time, and like film visuals can do a huge amount of the work. Dialogue in comics can work very well when there's a symbiosis between the visuals and what is written in the speech bubbles. Like film you can offload a lot of work of the dialogue to the visuals. When I do a page I write out what the text should be but I don't finalise it till I have the page art done, though I know what the characters need to say and how the story should go. When the page is done then I whittle down the text to make it work with the visuals, so a character might just say a single word, but because of the art it can be like a full paragraph of meaning. When I work with a pre-written script like in Bottomless waitress or The Key of Dreams I can't change the dialogue so I make sure the way I draw the scene and the characters delivering it enhances what's said and even helps it say much much more. I also letter things in such a way that it tweaks the delivery of the dialogue, so the characters are “acting” it out in a specific way, like giving each sentence its own bubble and placing them in specific ways, closer together or massively spread out, making them different sizes, colours, or shapes etc. How do you approach dialogue in comics? And how do you prefer to see it as a reader? Next week we're tacking “endings”, mainly when fans or IP owners demand an author get around to ending their work and suggest other to take over that role. This week Gunwallace has given us a musical theme inspired by Stiletto - The coolest of the coo. Step into the warm, cozy, underground lounge and sip an espresso martini. The bass thrumbs a tune out of dark wood, the piano does the tango, the guitar floats on a sunny, serene pool, and the percussion sneaks into a corner to be alone and snuggle.

  • Quackcast 753 - driven by internal struggles

    Quackcast 753 - driven by internal struggles
    Aug 19 2025

    Banes was the brains behind the Quackcast this week! His idea is that a character's internal struggle and how that conflicts with the realities they face can be a great driver for a story. -cribbed from listening to Vince Gilligan of Breaking Bad fame. Banes is a much better story writer than me so I can't explain it as well, but a good example is Walter White from Breaking Bad who starts off as a mild mannered dad and struggling chemistry teacher who moonlights at a car-wash to make ends meet- his internal struggle is that he actually sees himself as an unrecognised genius and someone who was unfairly wronged in life and so never reached his full potential. With his cancer diagnoses, the debits and worries that introduces into his life and the opportunity to fix everything by breaking the law, that interacts with his internal conflict to turn him into a drug kingpin/mafia boss/evil villain.

    It's a very interesting way to do character development! It can really inform how you change and craft your characters in interesting ways. Unfortunately I had taken a strong painkiller for toothache before the cast so I was not mentally able to understand the topic correctly haha! Part of the Quackcast I talk about how internal struggles are not needed for all characters and that James Bond is a good example of that- he's better when he as no conflict between his internal struggle and an external conflict and he's just supremely confident. Examples of Bond where he does have internal struggles are weaker versions of the character.

    Have you given your characters internal struggles to help them develop and change the story when that internal struggle conflicts with the challenges they face? Or can you look at your stories and see that in your characters?

    This week Gunwallace gives us a lovely musical theme to The Art of Running Away - A thoughtful early morning cup of coffee in a cold, empty room, alone. Contemplations on life, mortality, and the dancing motes of dust in a stray beam of sun, illuminating a disk of warm light on the floor, occupied by a single, happy cat.

  • Quackcast 752 - Censor 3, how it works on DD

    Quackcast 752 - Censor 3, how it works on DD
    Aug 12 2025
    This is the 3rd and final part of our censorship trilogy, you'll be glad to know! We tackled censorship past in the first one, then censorship present in the second, and now it's time for censorship future… as it applies to us, sticking our money where our mouth is. How do we tackle “censorship” on our comic hosting site? Spammers get their accounts deleted right away, people who steal art and claim it as their own are not welcome either, posting illegal adult content is a no-no, making accounts to harass other members, encouraging hate or violence against other groups, or posting real images of violence or death against humans or animals is also not welcome. We have an old TOS (terms of service) that you agree to when you join the site, plus our old site etiquette document that both ask people to behave nicely on the site and warn that things that aren't appropriate can be deleted. Apart from all that we're actually very open, one of the most open and accepting comic hosts online. We don't police your political or religious views and adult content is fine here. Showing genitals, using harsh language, fair use parody and satire etc. is all OK and we welcome them! We like to think of ourselves a objective and culturally agnostic. Apart from that our main concern above everything else is the health of the community and the preservation of our website, because if there's no community or no site to host it then there's no point to anything, is there? My small team and I have struggled for YEARS to keep this site going, I have personally paid thousands of dollars of my own money and our community have also paid thousands to keep us going through our Patreon and our other community drives. We have put love, many thousands of hours of constant work and vigilance week, after week, after week after week for over two decades to keep the site running and to keep it as a place you can always come back to where your hard work is safe. If something or someone jeopardises that we have to take it very seriously because it's so easy for the site to be damaged now that the internet is so limited by companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, and Meta. By the same token those who make snap decisions about our entire site based on the momentary and ephemeral actions of some miscreant who has temporarily fallen through the cracks and posted inappropriate content, and ignore the struggle, the work, the money, the compromises, the effort, the vigilance, the pain, and everything that goes into keeping this oldest of the free comic hosting website communities running are almost as bad as those miscreants who create the problems in the first place unfortunately. This week Gunwallace has given us a musical theme inspired by Mister Man Eater - a magically expressive carillon. Warm yellow and pink light sparkles as it flows from one side of the room to the other in a mystical swirl.

  • Quackcast 751 - An internet FULL of censorship!

    Quackcast 751 - An internet FULL of censorship!
    Aug 5 2025
    Last time we talked about old fashioned censorship, NOW we're talking about how it's used these days! Back in the day there were limited pathways for you to disseminate information: newspapers, radio, TV, public speaking, posters, books, film, pamphlets, ads… They were all easy for governments to shut down in various ways. But then along came the internet and suddenly it was a free for all! Anyone could easily make a website and info was freely shared for good or ill, and it was almost impossible to stop. Then Google made things easier than ever to find. Youtube meant we could share videos. Along came social media where it was easy to connect with others and get info out, Twitter users were even described as “citizen journalists”. Smartphones from Apple and Google made it even simpler to share stuff. But little did we know the seeds had been sown for a return to the bad old days… Monopolies are usually a bad thing and now the internet is divided among a small cadre of huge monopolies. The massive success of social media at connecting us, Google search, Youtube for videos, and Apple and Google at managing our phones and online lives has narrowed us all down and made us far more vulnerable. It's still possible to skirt them all and use other services, but their reach, versatility, utility, ubiquity and user-bases means you're sacrificing a hell of a LOT if you do. Governments are still ineffective at censoring these but they can ban and restrict them which means the media companies that own these services introduce there own forms of restrictions and censorship as a way to try and avoid that and the loss of revue it would mean. The impact of those restrictions are massive since so much of our lives are online now. They can have all your online accounts deleted, it can affect access to all the photos you've taken of your kids, your phones and tablets can become useless, work contacts and friends can be lost, years of work at building an online client base or fans can be wiped out in seconds with no way to get it back, and that's just a small sample. There are REAL costs involved too, these media companies like Meta can steal your money from you and you have zero recourse- the building of those fanbases and connections, online galleries, video production etc has REAL monetary value FAR in excess of the service they provide you (especially since their ads and data mining pay for it), but they treat you and your work as a free resource. Corporate censorship is THE worst issue facing us now in this context, because of its power, reach, arbitrariness, and total lack of any accountability. With a simple change of their Terms of Service, new policies, the AI bots they're using to police stuff suddenly for no reason you can find yourself in peril. Lastly there is the idea of “cancel culture”, which has been quite exaggerated because it's seen as left wing and therefore scary. The truth is it's always been around and practised equally by right wing, left wing, and centrist people. The internet HAS given it more reach and made it a bit easier to “cancel” people because you can more easily find out info about them and what they've done and you can also easily make up things and spread campaigns to attack people whether they're based on truth or lies. What is “cancel culture”? Basically it's a kind of mob justice with all the issues and problems mob justice always has: people are stupider in groups, there is no presumption of innocence or context, and there's no possible limit to the “justice” enacted. For every righteously cancelled person there will be many more who it was done to maliciously. And ALWAYS remember when you support stuff like this, if it can be done to others then it can be done to you. We like to think that these things are only done to “bad” people, but reality doesn't work that way, anyone can see you as bad at any time. Out of it all though, corporate censorship is by far the worst, as the official Drunk Duck Instagram can attest. In an ironic twist it was taken down and deleted by Meta after this Quackcast was recorded. Drunk Duck has had itself “censored” repeatedly by Google because their system downgrades us on its search engine for their own silly reasons, like lack of a mobile site option, putting social media results ahead, we got downgraded for lack of HTTP even though it's not needed at all on our site because accounts contain nothing sensitive and don't deal with money, so we had to pay money to get that up and running to retain our visibility… Have you been the victim of any form of censorship? Even as a viewer? I know many people who've suffered losses and issues do to corporate censorship. Gunwallace wasn't able to do a theme this week so instead we have a reprise of Tales from Two Tiny Tittybars - Bouncing boobs in DA CLUB! This was originally from 6 Nov, 2017 in Quackcast 228.

    Quackcast 750 - Censorshipping
    Jul 29 2025
    Hey ho! We thought we'd address the topic of censorship again on the Quackcast! Today we're covering the topic in a rather general sense: The need for censorship; how it can be wrongly used; free speech and its limits; how free speech isn't equal around the world; slander and defamation; how censorship used to be applied to media and how that has changed since the internet and more. Next week we'll chat about how free speech and censorship works now on the internet the way it is now, but for now it's a bit of a rambling overview because it's a gigantic topic! With “free speech” and censorship people always imagine that it's something very basic and black and white but when you look into it the complexities and complications are pretty huge, not to mention there are NO universal global “free speech” rules and that is a big issue with the internet and instantaneous unregulated communication which bypasses national borders. Basically “free speech” usually means that governments aren't allowed to restrict the political expression of individuals because that is essential for preserving free democracies. We expand that to “free expression” in a more general sense because we don't want governments restricting what we can say or do (within certain limits). But that's just about preventing governments fining or jailing or killing us for what we say, it's not about people or businesses restricting us… Then there's the issue of using “free speech” to advocate for violence or persecution, or lying about catastrophes in order to cause mass panic, THEN you can face government limits. Or what if your way of expressing yourself is to defame people and accuse them of made up issues? Then you can face them in court for things like libel or defamation and that is unfairly weighted towards people who have more money so they can get away with lying about you in public and they can also get away with claiming the TRUE things you said about them were libel too… And that's just a taste of how complex it gets. Not to mention copyright issues, fair use, obscenity, ratings systems etc, it all factors in! On Drunk Duck we need to have a ratings system that comics fall under. Our Adult rated comics have restrictions on them, and we don't allow comics that depict underage characters in sexual situations, (that can be hard to police). Comics designed to defame others can also face restrictions. So censorship is everywhere! Though DD is more free than other comic hosts on the net and that has always been one of our main features from the very beginning! What have been your experiences with censorship? This week Gunwallace has given us a musical theme inspired by Mortify - A sepulchral, highly evocative, almost dreamlike reverie on the tenebrous existence of the penumbra between life and death, dark and light, where souls hang on the edge of oblivion.

  • Quackcast 749 - Chasin' trends

    Quackcast 749 - Chasin' trends
    Jul 22 2025
    This week our cast is about the folly of following fashion! It could be with clothes, hair, interior design, architecture, music, OR creation! Things like plot styles, story structure, art, lettering, fonts, jokes, twists etc, all are subject to fashions of the day. And we are driven to participate in it, not because we're fashionable creatures who want to be “in” with the latest trends, rather it's because at our core we're just simple social animals and following fashion is an instinctual way for us to fit in with our social groups and participate in the simple social hierarchies based on how closely we follow the current fashion and how cleverly we express it. It's herd behaviour. But why is it folly? There are a few very important reasons that you shouldn't follow fashion: 1. It dates you in a really unfortunate and specific way. So you stuff is forever tied to a specific time. 2. Fashions come and then go, which means you only have a limited time before what was cool and making you fit in turns around and does the EXACT OPPOSITE. 3. You become just another part of the crowd, which is hard to stand out from, and in truth you will probably be a bad version of whatever the popular style is, which will be more obvious when the fashion moves on and no one makes allowances for you anymore because you were expressing a fashion they liked, rather you'll just be seen for what the are: a wannabe. 4. You will be driven to change things in order to keep up with fashion changes, which will be very disruptive to your work and annoying for your audience. 5. Audiences that are attracted to you because of the fashion you're expressing will also quickly leave when that's not the in thing anymore. Slang changes all the time. The very worst and most stupid thing you can ever do is try and unironically keep up with current slang, especially if you're trying to see “cool”. Why is that? Because the people most up with the latest slang are 12 to 14 years old, do you really want to be thought of as cool to a 12 year old? Aside from that the constant changes mean that using current slang dates you more than anything and gives the opposite of your intended meaning, instead of ever being cool you will look very stupid. If you must you can use it ironically and that will save you, you can also use it historically to date your stuff to a particular time, OR you can invent your own like A Clockwork Orange, the Simpsons, or The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Now we come to the topic of “style vs fashion”. You can be stylish instead of fashionable, this means you pick styles from where and whenever you like (even current fashions), based on your passion for those things and you intelligently incorporate them into your own personal style. The difference is that you are not simply following a trend because it's the done thing, going along with it, doing your own poor version of it because you don't really understand it and it not fitting in any way with you what so ever. Style is making the best choices and picking the best examples of things that worked, while fashion is simply fitting in. So what have been your own worst fashion mistakes? This can be in creation, clothing, hair, whatever. Did you try and jump onboard with manga style when that first became the big fashion in Western comics? I know I tried and did a terrible version of the style! Did you do the whole non-linear story thing? The alternative world thing? The superhero in the “realistic” outfit and setting thing? The “webtoon format” vertical scrolling infinite canvas thing? There are many more fads and styles… It's NOT a bad thing to do any of those as long as you're not just don't it because it's the popular thing at the time. Also, back in the late 80s I had black/grey acid wash jeans and white high-top shoes. And I also had a pseudo mullet (long at the back with lots and hairspray and gel on the sides). Gunwallace wasn't able to do a theme this week so instead we have a reprise of May the Rain Come, by Zimeta. It's a very beautiful piece. From Quackcast 177, 28th of July, 2014.

  • Quackcast 748 - The Months

    Quackcast 748 - The Months
    Jul 15 2025

    Tantz Aerine showcased LGBTQ+ comics and creators for Pride month in June with the help of Skyangel, Mainly on Bluesky. It went to so well that she came up with the amazing idea of doing more monthly features for other themes. She doesn't want to dictate to us what those theme should be though, she wants input into the idea so we can all come up with good themes together! The idea behind a month long showcase isn't to be socially conscious so much as having a reason to bring more promotion to creators- that's important to remember. This is marketing :)

    We have a forum thread discussion* where people have shared their own recommendations. InkyMoondrop, Bravo1102, Lothar, Dragonsong12, PaulEberhardt, Kawaiidaigakusei, and J_Scarbrough had some great suggestions already!

    PaulEberhardt:
    - April as Autism acceptance Month.
    - December as Universal Human Rights Month
    - December's also Learn a Foreign Language Month.
    - October is Dyslexia, Depression and Breast Cancer.

    Bravo1102:
    - February is Black African heritage month
    - March is Woman's heritage month
    - November is for war, veterans and remembrance.

    Dragonsong12:
    - Hispanic heritage
    - Mental health

    Lothar:
    - Relationships
    - Mental health
    -Drugs and alcohol
    - Poverty
    - Religion
    - Politics
    - War
    - Existential dread

    Ozoneocean (me):
    – Erotic comics awareness month
    – mixed media comics
    – Newspaper strips
    – Political creators
    – War
    – Romance
    – Female creators
    – Creators who started before the digital age.

    Kawaiidaigakusei:
    - Alien Month
    - Furry and Scaly Month
    - mental health
    - Language Other than English Month
    - Fantasy Month

    J_Scarbrough:
    - October: Scary comics
    - December: Christmas, good will, happy celebration theme.

    All good suggestions but some of them can be joined into others I think? Something like “Hispanic Heritage” could go into a category like Kawaii's “Language Other than English Month”, and “Poverty” and “Drugs and alcohol” could be subsets of “Mental Health”? Also on the Quackcast Banes suggested February for “Romance” because of valentines day. Please give your opinions and suggestion! Tantz wants a popular vote of these.

  • Quackcast 747 - Novels

    Quackcast 747 - Novels
    Jul 8 2025

    Novels are basically long stories. They tend to have a lot of different plots and things all happening at once, unlike short stories. When writing a novel you have a lot of freedom to tell really BIG stories, stories that spanning worlds and centuries if you feel like it. In this Quackcast Banes chats to Tantz about the art of novel writing and what makes a novel

    Tantz is a good person to talk about that with since she's published a few novels in her fantasy Art of Veiling series. And Banes is a good person to ask about it because he's interested in writing a novel of his own!

    Have you ever had plans to write a novel? Do you prefer them over short stories or comics? How would YOU approach writing a novel of your own?

    This week Gunwallace was overwhelmed so as another best-off special treat we have a reprise of the theme to Ginger&Shadow - Lovely string music with the competing themes representing the two cats. From Quackcast 204, 3rd of February 2015.
