A long time ago, I thought the forums were reserved for people …
I’m feeling more philosophical today than anything, so I’m going to share.
Making comics is hard work. It is hard work that doesn’t give you too many shortcuts. It also often doesn’t give you an income, so you have to do it all on your own time when you’re off …

The other day I read a very interesting post by our very own Vickie of Used Books where she was talking about Romance. And what caught my eye the most was her description of the driving force behind romance stories as “relationship-driven conflict”- a very succinct way to put it! …
This time out I wanted to talk about superhero comics again and turn the spotlight onto the one that was responsible for me discovering Drunkduck in the first place…Dasien.
Over the years the comic has become slightly entwined with my own comic, but always they have remained the own entities, …
I'm a bit obsessed with "before" versions of characters. Where they start. The damaged dude or dudette who shows up at the beginning of a story REALLY needing a change in their lives, and usually not knowing it.
